Trump: “And I’m gonna give workers tax breaks on their overtime pay!”
Project 2025: “hehe”

Edit:
I’ve been getting angry DMs from Trumpers who think I made this up. Welp, here’s a YouTube video of him at a rally where he says he’ll give overtime workers tax breaks, specifically at the 2:43 mark he says it.
If you’re interested in the rest of the video, he also talked about not taxing social security for Americans 65 and older and tip workers, which would be disastrous for funding social security and would hurt its recipients. Fortunately, he may not be able to do that, even with a majority red Senate. I say “may not” cause, shyt, anything is possible at this point.

Dear MAGA, do you hate trans people, black people, gay people this much that you’d let this man do this to you???
The drumph likes the uneducated.
And they like him.
Because they’re stooopid.
Because Trump hurts the people they want to see hurt.
Simple as.
They want the [RACIAL SLUR]s and [GAY SLUR]s removed from society.
They don’t care about how badly they’re getting fucked, they’re happy as long as they’re fucking the people beneath them.
They are distracted by the joy of being able
To freely express their racism and hatred, and joined by a chorus of other same minded shit heads, they forget about self preservation.
I think there is need for some clarification. Biden tried to increase the minimal salary from 35 to 58k that employers would be force to pay workers overtime. A conservative judge just ruled “lol no, fuck the poor.” and reverse the ruling. Now the scary part about all that is employers made a couple of changes. 1) Employers change scheduling to make sure there was more coverage and employees didn’t work overtime hours. 2) Employers raised employees salaries to surpass the minimal threshold to avoid having to pay them overtime.
With the new ruling Employers have the legal green light to reverse all of that. Not only can they go back to making lower earning employees work more for less. They can also reverse raises.
Hourly employees must still be paid time and a half for overtime. This ruling only impacts salary. The problem with salary is that it really affects lower earning employees in that they have no negotiating power and many “supervisors” are forced into these salary positions even though they might just be a shift supervisor. While a salary employee like a doctor can negotiate a contract that says they still earn overtime or bonuses. My sister is salary but earns overtime and she makes close to 100k a year. I have friends who are surgeons that get paid overtime for work that is beyond their scope. I have a friend that is a bariatric surgeon, but he got paid big dollars when he did on call emergency room duties.
This will impact a lot of people, but those of us that get paid hourly wont be impacted by this ruling.
For now.
Why did Joe Biden do this?
Until it touches them directly, they won’t care and when it does, they will blame it on liberals and immigrants
Look, he said he’d cut taxes on overtime. And can’t pay taxes if you aren’t getting paid! Promise made promise kept!
“the dear leader knows best… the dear leader will look out for me…” /s
They don’t care as long as the brown people have to work more for less.
Yea but he’ll definitely make eggs cheaper… and certainly he’ll help Palestinians in Gaza… oh dear
The dumb asses believe anything he says even after his first failed presidency where he didn’t do one thing he promised. Sheep following their orange leader
Do you know the name of the case? I haven’t been able to find anything recent about overtime.
Doesn’t affect me, so fuck’em.
They don’t care if they suffer, as long as others suffer worse
Please understand, he said there would ne no TAXES on OT. What he didn’t say is you weren’t getting paid for it either.
This is one of the most frustrating thing about Trump voters. He inherited a great economy and brought it crashing down, America was not made great by any means during the first Trump admin and when you point out any failures people scream “but Covid”. Biden inherited crap and while the economy is not great, it is stabilizing and improving. For some reason “but Covid” has turned into stop using Covid as an excuse.

The important part is they wont learn a damn thing from this. They will continue to vote Republican. The Democrats will eventually regain control and be incessantly blamed for not fixing a generational mess overnight and the Republicans will win again. These people are too stupid for Democracy to work.
I wonder how those blue color workers who work all those OT hours to fund their lifestyle will react when they won’t be able to keep the loan on the massive trucks and boats.
You can’t tax overtime if there is no overtime.
If an employer makes me work overtine but then doesnt pay it I am either:
A) not working the over time
Or
B) stealing things i can sell or finding essential files that will fuck them over if deleted then deleting them
I will contact clients and raise hell, i will do anything and everything to fuck the company over. Not gonna pay me for work I did? I will burn you to the ground.
Gotta make the “bosses” and oligarchs fear us. We out number them, do something about it!
Luckiky my current employer is cool and would never fuck me over like that but i sued one of my last employers for not paying me money owed. I will not be walked on.
specifically for salaried workers who make more than roughly 35k
Canada would like to build a wall…
Wait until they realize the face-eating leopards are about to eat their faces.
Trump voter responds: It’s working perfectly — look at how angry the libz are!
Can’t tax overtime if you don’t get paid overtime. Can’t tax tips if you don’t get tips. Can have peace with Russia and Ukraine, if Ukraine is given to Russia. Can have peace with Palestine and Israel if everyone in Palestine is dead.
But trumps not going to tax overtime pay. Wait a minute…🤔
I was telling people that. It’s all in Project 2025. All they had to do was look it up
Imbeciles and sycophants aren’t capable of introspection and admitting they were wrong, it’ll somehow be the democrats/ leftists/ libs fault even though they can’t cite why.
Does anyone have any links to anything on this?
What happened to over time and no taxes?
Wow, this is peak ‘Murica right here. Makes you wonder if we’re living in a simulation sometimes.
Wow, this is like finding out Santa Claus is real, but he’s actually a supervillain. Mind blown!
We are already at war….intelligence vs stupidity!
The answer is easy. They will not believe this and they will never ever believe anything negative….even when it happens to them. “Poorly educated”.
Is there a source for this claim? Id like to check it out more
This would have been a nice law. No hourly folks are losing overtime but it would expand the minimum cap for salaried exempt. Companies/Govt agencies would have had to raise their starting salaries to over 58k to avoid overtime which is what they would because paying the OT would be much more expensive more than likely. There are still teachers out there that start in the 30s and 40s. My first job out of college was ~60k in 2012. My mom had been teaching for 15 years and I immediately started making more money than her. That’s so fucked.
This was so easy to predict.
“No tax on overtime pay”
I guess they’ll just outlaw overtime pay then too.
Not surprising though. While on the campaign trail this year Trump proudly admitted that he hated paying overtime to his workers. Once again, just no surprises whatsoever to anyone who was paying attention.
Tbh asking for any accountability out of conservatives is also crazy. Like definitionally insane. It’s time to give up on this and focus on rallying the base instead
His voters are to stupid to understand how this orange baboon is going to screw them over.
Can’t tax overtime if there’s no overtime.
But wait!!! It gets worse!!!!
They still think trickle down works. They think paying overtime is why companies can’t pay them more. It’s wild.
The answer is easy. They will not believe this and they will never ever believe anything negative….even when it happens to them. “Poorly educated”
