Putin and Trump supported the Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban, with Donnie even sending Vance there to campaign for Orban. Bigly Fail!
Losing!
Why would any MAGAt consider the ouster of Orban, a corrupt strongman supported by trump, Putin and Vance, as winning? Why did these right wingers favor Orban? That’s rhetorical – Orban is a corrupt partisan dicktater – light like trump and Putin.
trump sent the Vice-President of the United States to campaign for a fucking right-wing autocrat!! And failed.
Only Rimjob would consider the election of a center right candidate losing.
Our national debt is careening toward $40 Trillion! Interest payments on the loans amounts to about $1 trillion/year or about $88 billion a month.
To whom do we pay? The Federal Reserve (government bonds); Foreign Governments and Investors: (gov’t such as Japan and the UK) and investors;
Domestic Investors and Institutions: Holders of Treasury bills, bonds, and notes;
Government Trust Funds: Social Security Trust Fund and federal retiree pension funds.
Everyone says they want to fix it, but the gov’t is spending more and collecting less!
The greatest tax burden is imposed on those who get paid for work.
That is why Warren Buffett’s combined salary and bonus was capped at $100,000 for decades. Jeff Bezos’s was set at $82,000 a year, low enough to make him eligible to claim the child tax credit (which he did!). Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison, are $1-a-year men. They are all low-salaried and still well compensated. The great bulk of their pay comes from the growing value of their stock. The magnitude of this growth is staggering. Since 2023, Buffett’s wealth has increased by $35 billion, Bezos’s by more than $100 billion, Zuckerberg’s by more than $150 billion, and Elon Musk’s by $500 billion.
Deferring taxes on profits until a property (e.g., stock) is sold is the greatest tax advantage in our system. In the United States, this lets investors and their heirs (and their heirs) avoid taxes indefinitely. By using stock and other properties as collateral for loans, the very wealthy can enjoy the financial benefits of their wealth without the burden of taxes. Many of the richest Americans support their lifestyle this way.
So, instead a wealth tax or trying to reimpose the estate tax to capture the more than $50 trillion in stocks, real estate, art, and other assets owned by the richest 1 percent of Americans, tax reformers should agree to abolish the estate tax!
A simpler and more coherent system that would tax inheritances as well as investment gains using income tax.
As Warren Buffett said, his assistant paid a higher tax rate than did he.
