What's ironic about Harris copying Trump's no tax on tips, is her regime hired 80,000+ IRS agents, many in the auditing sector. To focus on unreported income. Which the vast majority of unreported income comes from middle wage employees who are not reporting all of their tips. Not evil millionaires or billionaires who are audited like they are hiding Jews from the Nazis in the 1930's.

What’s convenient though is that she wants to tax unrealized gains. So she takes your money one way or another.

Last month I mentioned to @SDevada, after she claimed the economy was doing so good, that each jobs report that showed gains was later revised downward in the dark of night after this regime had already hyped the gains as economic victories for Bidenomics. If we could see the real numbers that weren't just people returning from the pandemic or the federal government employees added, I'd bet they would be historically low. This country is in trouble and will be far worse if Kamala gets elected just because she makes us feel better as a people.

And the 800k+ was the worst in 15 years if I saw the report correctly. But you’re absolutely right. Government jobs added were enormous, those jobs add zero to the economic benefit of the country. So it’s much much worse than they’re even saying. But again, this was not only intentional on the front end, it’s intentional now, so that the fed will drop interest rates and make everything seem hunky dory.

Can’t believe the Trump administration lied about creating 800K+ more jobs than it actually did and constantly bragged about it.

Oh wait, that’s THIS administration. Just in time for the federal reserve to lower interest rates though.

The Braves really crapped the bed yesterday!!! They somehow managed to turn an 8-2 eighth inning lead into a 9-8 loss. I saw it, and am still in shock.

Nonetheless ATLANTA still heads to SF a skinny half game AHEAD of the Mets for the final wildcard spot. The Giants are hot. They're only 1 and a half games back for the wild card.

The loss Sunday was significant, as the Braves could have extended their wild card lead(Mets lost too). Tonite the Braves begin the SF series, and they must hit the RESET BUTTON!!

The only answer is low tax rates on businesses and corporations, and tax breaks as well. Freightliner is in the county I live, and it's a company that employs over 2,300 people. The wages they make are very solid, with most people working there til retirement. The impact a company like them has on our county and counties close by are very welcomed.

Thanks for this perspective, Mac. While my take remains vastly different, it's better informed because of it.

21% tax rate is hardly “ no taxes”. Furthermore, every worker from the CEO on down pays plenty of taxes. The goal is to attract investment, not scare it away. Kamala has also voiced support for taxes on unrealized capital gains, perhaps the dumbest idea she’s had yet?

Not just unrealized gains. A 44% tax before the unrealized gains. Which is actually what Joe Biden suggested. Seeing how he never pushed for a bill on it, I guess he lied to his base about that just like he lied when he said he was going to cure cancer. Seems like they only care about Trump’s lies.

Corporations are seeing record profits while paying practically no taxes. That's not working, either. Do you have a suggestion?

Click to expand...

Corporations employ a quarter of American workers with the average corporate employee making more than twice what the average American income is. Between the corporate taxes, and individual corporate employee taxes, that's over half of the tax revenue.

My suggestion is the same as it has always been. Fix wasteful spending, then see how much more money you need to steal from the tax payers. No one will answer what will happen to that money that they take. They're still going to pass massive spending bills that lead to massive waste and the politicians who are supposed to be civil servants are still going to get richer while their voting base cheers them on.

I would imagine the taxes those 2, 300 people pay are quite a boon to the local and state economies. Let’s raise the corporate tax rate because a non human entity is not paying its “fair share” though. The Far Left’s tax em til they bleed policies would create ghost towns in many areas

There is a catch in this though. Freightliner, in an attempt to save money, several years ago wanted to relocate a lot of their work to Mexico. But several of their big contracts said if they did, they wouldn't buy their trucks anymore.

That's a great stand by Freightliner's customers.

No slandering or misrepresenting here. Even CNN, NYT, WaPo is calling out the nonsense of her policy.

Click to expand...

Haven't seen all of them. Did they say she "stole" ideas from the Trump-Vance ticket? Or refer to her attempt to stop price-gouging as "communist price controls"? Again, my point is that there is a difference between criticizing policy and spinning it to impugn intention. That has been my only point in this exchange with you.

I see some of it as propaganda. I suspect you dismiss some legit stuff about him as propaganda.
