Junior is a coked out moron, I love it when people pay attention to him.
A certain part of the R party has wanted a flat tax forever. It’s great for rich people
Lmao Republicans tried to simplify the tax code already. It died in committee because of their donors; Intuit and h&r block.
Republicans physically can’t simplify the tax code because of lobbying.
DoGE is a playpen to keep Musk away from Project 2025. That’s why they partnered him up with the other useful idiots Greene and Ramaswamy.
Jfc ive just realised it called DOGE…is Elon trying to troll? Isn’t he part of it or something?
Less lines = efficient
More lines = ineffecient
So, why’d he fire coders based on them not writing enough lines. Did he not want Twitter coders to be efficient?
It’s all a large distraction And grift. The guy whose company relies on government subsidies, who used his money to destroy a social media company and ruin its worth doesn’t understand how anything of the government works and isn’t really going to be doing anything. But as long as we’re all freaking out about it, the real kleptocracy will be happening.
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever head. Republicans had the presidency and congress in 2017 and they made the tax code *more complicated*.
Perfect! We can supplement it with a 98% flat tax on capital appreciation and investment earnings with a lifetime exemption of $5M. That way you get your five mil and it’s fair for everyone. Everyone taxed the same is… NoT CoMmUnIsM?
Flat tax, except for billionaires, ofc
I mean, ignoring his lack of understanding of how the government works, this is a real r/FluentInFinance moment. This is literally just Jr saying he approves of punishing the poor for being poor and rewarding the rich for being rich.
Middle class median income workers would end up paying MORE in taxes with a flat tax and low income workers would get OBLITERATED. how stupid can you be
The Department of Government Efficiency sounds like something out of a bad dystopian novel lol. Also, basic civics class clearly didn’t happen.
It’s very difficult for me to understand how people support a “flat tax”.
You could tax Elon Musk’s income at 99% and he would still have more than enough money to live a very comforting life on the remaining 1%.
But then look at a poor family making $40k/year. That 10% tax is “only” $4k, but it means so much more to them. That literally could be a life changing amount of money since it’s a couple missed mortgage payments that could leave them homeless, or the price of a used car so they can get to work.
A flat tax only seems “fair” if you don’t bother to think about it at all.
So every time I get a flat, it means I’ll be taxed?
“The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without any regard to census or enumeration” – 16th Amendment
Congress not some advisory committee unilaterally created by the president has the exclusive power to change the tax code.
Reminder: institution of flat taxes have lead to many violent overthrows of governments.
Flat tax only helps the rich. Dumb people who support flat tax don’t understand math.
I thought they demonstrated had a lack of knowledge and skill of how government works the first time.
Welcome to Dumbfukistan!
Its not just trumper, all prez’s make claims and promises out of their wheelhouse. unfortunately they know citizens have been dumbed down on civics.
Doge is gonna send people a tax bill and maga morons are gonna pay up.
Keeping nonsense in the news is a diversion tactic.
Nah but for real tho did this mf Trump jr say that or not can someone fact check. Seems absolutely wild.
Drogon is under the misbelief that laws still matter.
They can say all they want.
They also have the Supreme Court, Senate and House.
Let’s see how this plays out.
I know one person has a really big ego and hates other people.
Why not do the same but with a simple progressive tax that doesn’t have a million carveouts. The only one I’ll accept is a non refundable tax credit per child.
This all makes so much more sense if you consider it from the perspective that Elon crashing Twitter was a proof of concept and Trump’s mission is to create maximum chaos and turmoil.
The only long term plan Trump and Musk have are staying out of jail. The rest is just doing as much damage as possible to the US and hopping a plane out before the mob beats down the white house gates.
Too bad the dog passed before he could sue
Too bad the dog passed before he could sue
It’s like watching people steal the tires off a truck
Well considering it’ll be a republican congress. They def could do this
Also a flat tax is just a massive tax decrease for the wealthy.
If you actually wanted to fix the tax system you would change it back to the rates and marginal tax brackets we had in the 60’s
But of course no one calling the shots here are interested in fixing anything
