Tax evasion never made nobody rich. Exploitation of the working class is where it's at.
Just want to reiterate that the IRS get their marching orders from the party in charge which is why they targeted rich people under Biden: The IRS has recovered $1.3 billion from rich American tax dodgers since the fall of 2023 ā relieving a painful burden from āordinary citizensā
Conclusion: succes comes from defying the laws of physics.
I donāt hate the IRS. They donāt write the tax code, and itās not their fault that theyāre underfunded. Thatās all on Congress.
This might upset a few people, though: Your Taxes Pay for Nothing
Sort of... but saying that the government can issue as much new currency as they want is disingenuous and this is addressed later in the video, but it literally says that the tax money is "destroyed"... this is not really correct.
The value of a government currency like the dollar comes ultimately from confidence in the US economy. If the economy produces value, then the dollar represents a piece of that value. If the economy is unproductive (less value is produced) then tax revenue is lower, and less new money can be issued.
So to close the circle, your taxes do pay for something... the government's capacity to issue new money, which it then uses to pay for government services &etc. Saying that "your taxes pay for nothing" is kind of a pointless argument over semantics, because without the tax collection the government would not be able to pay for anything.
Right panel could do better.
Tax evasion, loopholes, offshore accounts, tax breaks, are all terms that belong as āsteps.ā Also, stepping on the person holding the āworkā steps up should be part of it. Successful people almost all earn money on otherās work at some level. Thatās how wealth and employment work.
Who the fuck is the rich chef lmfao?
Every chef I know looks like the dude on the left, but he hasn't had adderall since work insurance pays shit so instead he subsists on alcohol and cocaine with the rush of order and chaos working the kitchen.
I think itās Chef Boyardee

He's not even 1/4 of the way to being a billionaire. He may as well be scraping shit off the street then trying to pass it off as one of his lavacakes.
bruh in what world is 220 million net worth 'not rich' to you
not just tax evasion, there's the factor of wage theft and keeping over 99% of the profit to yourself too
Site supervisor waiting for both of them to deliver that wheelbarrow full of bricks:
Other countries hate the IRS & FCC too. It is quite difficult to open a foreign bank or crypto exchange accountā¦ if not just outright blocked all Americans from even trying.
Ah yes, the evil government system that gets in the way of good people trying to run digital Ponzi schemes and collect ransomware payments.
Bad gubmint.
The ārich parentsā blocks are off screen.
everyone needs a little push to help them get over the basics
Then you need to fund the IRS enough to go after these rich fucks
Thats the thing though, those rich fucks usually run the IRS or practically own the people who do
If other peoples' tax evasion is your big concern then you hate the wrong people.
Idk how thats what you got from this post. I don't believe billionaires paying their taxes will solve all of our problems of thats what you are getting at
Are we?
GE made nearly 7 billion dollars in 2023. Do you know how much tax they paid? They didn't, they got a refund of over 400 million dollars.
Tell me again that tax evasion isn't a real problem.
i didn't say tax evasion isn't the real problem. i said that the meme is blaming the wrong people.
it's GE's (And politicians) fault that GE is evading taxes, not the IRS.
It kinda feels like this sometimes.
My single biggest expense each month is tax.
Last time I went to Costco, my the second most expensive thing on the receipt was tax.

That just means you bought a whole bunch of cheap things.
