Why not cut welfare by half in exchange tonlower the tax by half?

You only get a refund on taxes that you overpay. Trump is still a kike, but this is a retarded argument based solely on your ignorance of how federal income tax works.

Also, taxation is theft.

...

Look you absolute fucking retarded fuckskull: Tax Returns are when your TAXES ARE RETURNED. Lower tax returns means better estimation at correct taxes. Lower tax returns means they took less from you, or estimated it better. It has NOTHING to do with how much you're taxed.

Just shows how fucking nigger stupid OP is and Ameriniggers are. If you do it right you should never get money back, if you do then you have overpaid the fucking kikes at the Fed and IRS and given them free loan. Unless you get money back for child tax credit, which is just money redistribution that is supported by traitors of both parties. Which is just a way to steal money from productive people and give it to niggers and spics.

Do you mean Medicare and Social Security or just welfare? Welfare is barely 10% of our government expenditure. Capitalists get off my board.

Still about $2trillion dollars. taxfoundation.org/government-all-levels-redistributed-2-trillion-2012/

its not real capitalism, the government isnt involved. a soyboy like (((you))) wouldn't understand the true free market

What the fuck does slashing gibs for niggers and sluts who go out and get pregnant with the first guy they meet at the bar have to do with (((capitalism)))

Wrong you idiot leftist son of a whore. Capitalism is the ideal system and we, as white people, must defend it from the (((state))).
Naturally, psyhopathic leftists such as yourself would never be able to understand logic, but oh well!
Sucks to be such a loser that you need to parasitize off of productive indivuduals! You and your deenerate collectivist socialist ideology need to simmer down for aminute, partner!
I hope you can learn to become normal again, leftist.

Murry Rothbard will always be right.

All types of the welfare and what does the capitalism to do with cutting welfare in order to lower taxes so the taxpayers can have money in their accounts. That seems socialistic thing to do.

Are you a Jew?

why would that matter?

Lurk the moar.

Listen to this user>>12844325

Damn, newfags you really need to lurk the moar for longer until you have a idea how it works.

Cool it with the Anti-Semitic remarks, bro. I joined this forum to discuss how great Trump is doing. The economy is doing great, there are more jobs and less taxes. What else could you want dude?

That's where you went wrong.

This guy's got it.

can you please elaborate? i'm new to this sub

Wrong, it is called “board”.

At least you are honest by telling us that you are shilling.


How long have you been living under the rock for? USA is in trillions debt and the economy is shit.

As always, burgers fail to see the forest for the trees.
You're spending 2 Trillion dollars on Welfare. Give or take a Trillion.
Sounds a lot?
Well, you're also spending 686 Trillion on "Defense". I don't think I need to add that this money isn't really "defending" anything besides arms manufacturers and war hawks.

The USA reminds me a lot of North Korea: dump 2/3 of your population in the military (or in the case of the USA, 2/3 of your budget) and then wonder why the fuck the economy is going to shit whenever you're not fighting wars.

You can forget Israel at this, it has become a moot point: America needs every little war it can get involved in, ZOG or not. If your military went through 6 months of "peace" in a row, the war economy propping up the rest of the country would fucking tank.

This thread is getting pretty heated, folks? Why don't we all calm down for a moment or two?

How old are you?

Actually I can call it whatever I want because I have freedom of speech. This is america not england, cuck. im not sure why u think im shilling, just telling the facts dude. also debt isnt real, its just fiat currency


I turned 59 last year, why?

t. 4cuck refugee

It's more like 720B on defense, and that's only what is on the books.
Dov Zakheim already lost 2.3 Trillion at the pentagon:
indybay.org/newsitems/2007/12/16/18467275.php

Your arrogance will not help you.


I am from Straya and you don’t know what the cuck mean, user.

Because Trump is good goy and he didn’t stop the funds to the Israel. He is not your friend.

The debt is real much as the fiat is.

Because you write like a child . Hiding behind the glass door and act dumb won’t help you.

Also, pic related is from last year.
It is a fucking war economy that on budget of 4000 trillion (from 2018), represents nearly 20% of all expenditure.
In 2018, the State received $3.654 trillion in revenue, but spent $4.094 trillion.
That's a deficit of $440 billion (requested) $779 billion (actual).
Yeah, I'm quoting wikipedia, the data checks out on .gov sites though.

Simply cutting 10% of military expenditure would have given 2018 a netgain. Instead it's a netloss.
Your army, the pride and joy of USA is sinking the fucking country and constantly tries to make itself relevant, somehow, so it can justify it's overblown expenditure.

This is the working middle class. This isn't the wealthy who RECEIVED a tax cut, because Trump never fucking gave the middle class a tax cut.
If the economy were up or winning at ALL IT'S FUCKING NOT these people would be bringing in more in their returns, not less.

It’s shit.

You guys are back to the "trickle down economy" schtick. Watch as your political class tries to convice the public that giving tax breaks to wealthy bastards and mega-corps is a good idea because surely those rising profits will eventually fall down the chain to the poor factory worker!

Hint: it was tried once, failed miserably, the only diference is that this time, the public is actually lapping it up (look at r/the_donald)

That's exactly what Trump did with his GOP tax cuts.

Got less in a refund but paid less taxes over all

Of course they're down, Trump capped the deduction of state income taxes from federal income taxes. So some rich faggot who pays say $1 million in state taxes used to be able to write off $1 million in federal taxes, now they can only deduct $10,000 of the $1 million paid to state taxes. As it turns out, the no income tax states have been subsidizing the income tax states. Why do you think states like NY are suddenly finding 2.3 billion dollar holes in their budgets? The rich fags are bailing on income tax states,

tbh this is one of few things Trump actually got right. He literally fucked every blue state up massively. You fucks really ought to pay more attention to the bigger picture and how the system actually works.

How?

I actually got back 3k thanks to the new tax law before accounting for capital gains tax. First time ever even while taking the max allowance. Try not living in a shit state with high taxes that tries to scam the federal government with State tax deductions. RIP California.

Personally I think the yanks shouldn’t pay the taxes and go into innwoods to survive with the white people.

reminder: any money you get in a tax return is the amount of money you loaned the government; interest free.

Speaking for myself, I got to keep more of what I earned on each paycheck, but got less back at the end of the year. So I traded a small "gain" in the immediate for less of a large "gain" in the future.

Ideally, the government would take not one cent more than what they are "owed", and you would keep everything that's left. In an age of computers and databases and everything else, there's no valid reason anybody should ever have to file a return at all, because we shouldn't be overcharged throughout a year to begin with.

Pay Less Dollars in Taxes, get Less Dollars Back, on Return?

this means people who donated to illegitimate (((non profit))) organizations that illegally engage in political activity got less money in return because of the cap put in.

One such example is centerforvoterinformation.org, they received 100k in donations from people that wanted to flip last year's midterms.

Banks made record profits last year thanks to the Republican tax cuts

>Had the tax law not been enacted, banks still would have done well — the FDIC estimates they would have made $207.9 billion in 2018. But the law tacked an additional $28.8 billion onto their profits. In the fourth quarter alone, more than half of the increase in net income for banks came from the tax bill.


>The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December 2017, cut taxes for most Americans, including the middle class, but it heavily benefits the wealthy and corporations.
>According to estimates from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the top fifth of earners get 70 percent of the bill’s benefits, and the top 1 percent get 34 percent.
>The new tax treatment for “pass-through” entities — companies organized as sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, or S corporations — meant an estimated $17 billion in tax savings for millionaires in 2018.

>It’s also got more industry-friendly regulators in place under President Trump. And Congress passed a bill in 2018 easing some rules for banks put in place under the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, though as Bloomberg notes, it’s not clear that made much of a difference in bank profits.


>While it did result in a lower tax bill for many Americans, many people are also well aware that wealthy Americans and companies got the best deal out of it — this bank profits report is just the latest example.

>President Donald Trump promised a reduction in taxes with the new law. And by most measures, the majority of Americans will see one. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center projected the tax law would reduce individual income taxes by about $1,260 on average, although it benefits higher earners more.

>Some people already saw the benefit in the form of bigger paychecks. That’s because the law forced employers to change what they withheld.

>In addition, the law also eliminated personal exemptions, increased child credits, limited popular deductions, and generally upended many familiar practices that determine what happens at tax time. That has taxpayers feeling a bit unmoored.

Capitalism and its alternatives are kiked. There needs to be a Third Position.

I don't really get it. What does this mean, one way or the other?

It's not about tax revenue. At most it's an indicator of revenue extrapolated from refunds. But the article doesn't give the information necessary to draw any actual conclusions. So it's a waste of a write up as far as I can tell.

Sasunga the ( ( ( financial press ) ) ), I guess.

You are keeping more of your money if the 2017 taxed (filed last year, top) is more than the 2018 one.

Why not reduce the budget in half?

In two years, Soros will reinstate the thousand dollar health tax on white people who don't feel like overdosing on Sackler's medicinal heroin. There will be no threads about it here or anywhere.

So basically they are taking out less, meaning that people are getting back less. Isnt that technically a good thing and also wouldnt that correlate to tax refunds going down? Not sure what the actual problem is. IT seems that people arent overpaying as much on their taxes.

Yeah I actually had a smaller return last year and was buttmad when the media was blaring everyone getting bonuses and bigger returns.
