Yes, I agree there have been a lot of 'sky is falling' articles written about the cuts.
Some of those claims have come true and we are worse off as a result.

Name one where we are worse off besides we fired a few people and had to rehire them.

Some of those claims have not yet come true but will with time.

Name one and be very specific on what it is and why.

I do want to make a distinction here and point out that the DOGE chaos I have had in mind was covered by media on both sides, but the chaos was created by DOGE itself. DOGE chose how information would be released and chose to release it in haphazard and incomplete ways. DOGE chose to release incomplete information to the general public and allowed the general public to run wild with guesses, interpretations, and conclusions.

It didn't matter what DOGE said or how they released it Libs gonna Lib. Proof? building a wall was only bad under trump. Kids in cages was terrible under trump until they found out Obama did it.

You need someone to explain to you what the word "income" means. Rich people pay most of the annual tax receipts, and are taxed at a higher rate based on income.

If you are rich but have no income, you won't pay tax.

View attachment 874705

If you are making money off of dividends, those are taxed differently.

View attachment 874711


There's plenty of nuance because the tax code is too complex. Yes, there are tax shelters that rich people can take advantage of to lower their tax bill. But this old left wing trope of rich people "not paying their fair share" is stupid. If they're reporting income, they're paying tax on it, and likely at a much higher rate than what you're paying on your income.

For @horshack.sixpack top 1% pays 40% of income tax revenue received by the federal government. MUH FAIR SHARE!!!

Triggered. Oh noes. Next up is TDS and maybe even cry more.
C'mon dude. Quit relying on simplistic, juvenile, predictable MAGA talking points and slogans. Save that for a Catturd post. And you didn't, or perhaps couldn't, answer my question. You just pointed out a few things the IRS did that you didn't like and I agree it shouldn't have done. Glfer is right your ability to confuse opinions, complaints and facts and then make some Dale Gribble type of assertion. Again you said it's what employees are focused on but couldn't provide some legit study. Plus that happened years again, it was a small number of employees and not the focus of the IRS, and I suspect the IRS is no longer behaving that way. Does that mean you're cool with it now with the number of employees it has? Y'all have a habit of taking something that happens rarely and exaggerating it. Are there idiotic K-12 teachers pushing gender theory in some classrooms? Sure but it's likely no more than 1%. Should it happen, no, but people then claim Marxist K-12 teachers are transing kids everywhere when it's a small number. Perspective

Ok so lets take this talking point. Lets say this is true. Why are liberals fighting against it so hard?

Why can't they just say ->> Yes this is dumb and stupid and we agree. We agree with you and we'll make it simple to stop it from ever happening.

You know what happens more? K-12 teachers teaching about trans and LGTBQ vs cops unjustly killing someone but which one is covered more about by the media? Remind me again when you last saw a white guy being killed by the cops and it covered ad nauseum by the media and riots occuring and such? NEVER HAPPENED.

Dude. Just read better and closer. No one ever challenged that. It's like I pointed out earlier. The police kill around 20 unarmed black Americans annually. That shouldn't happen but it does. But I'd be dumb to say "The Police should stop focusing on killing black people." Notice the word focus and think about what it means.

For @horshack.sixpack top 1% pays 40% of income tax revenue received by the federal government. MUH FAIR SHARE!!!

I'm unsure what you are yelling about. Rich folks typically find ways to avoid having much "income". Of course they pay on their reported income. Are you suggesting that there aren't loopholes?

Copilot seems to think there are ways...honestly can't believe we are arguing about whether rich people avoid taxes through various strategies...

Here are some of the top examples of how ultra-wealthy individuals legally reduce their tax burdens using various tax shelters and strategies:

---

1. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett – The “Buy, Borrow, Die” Strategy​

These billionaires avoid selling their stock holdings, which would trigger capital gains taxes. Instead, they borrow against their assets to fund their lifestyles. Loans aren’t considered taxable income, so they can access cash without paying taxes. Upon death, heirs inherit the assets with a stepped-up basis, erasing capital gains [1] [2].

---

2. Peter Thiel – $5 Billion Roth IRA​

Thiel placed undervalued shares of PayPal into a Roth IRA in 1999. As the shares appreciated, the gains remained tax-free. Roth IRAs are designed for middle-class retirement savings, but Thiel’s maneuver allowed him to shield billions from taxes [1].

---

3. Steve Ballmer – Sports Team Ownership​

Ballmer, owner of the LA Clippers, benefits from tax deductions associated with owning a sports franchise. The IRS allows depreciation of player contracts and other assets, even as the team’s value increases. This lets owners report losses and reduce taxable income[1].

---

4. Real Estate Moguls – Depreciation and Cost Segregation​

Wealthy individuals like Donald Trump and Stephen Ross use real estate depreciation to offset income. Cost segregation studies allow accelerated depreciation of building components (e.g., HVAC, lighting), creating large upfront deductions [3] [2].

---

5. Charitable Foundations – Tax-Efficient Giving​

Billionaires often create private foundations. They get immediate tax deductions (up to 30% of AGI) and avoid capital gains taxes by donating appreciated stock. Foundations only need to distribute 5% annually, allowing the rest to grow tax-free[3] [2].

---

6. Family Offices – Business Deductions​

Families with $100M+ in assets can form family offices to manage wealth. These structures allow deductions for investment management, estate planning, and even salaries paid to family members, converting personal expenses into business write-offs [3].

---

7. Changing Residency – Puerto Rico Tax Benefits​

Some wealthy individuals, like Jake and Logan Paul, moved to Puerto Rico to benefit from its unique tax laws. Bona fide residents can avoid U.S. federal income tax on capital gains and pay minimal taxes on dividends and interest [3].

---

8. Oil & Gas Investments – Massive Deductions​

Investing in oil and gas allows billionaires to deduct intangible drilling costs and depletion. These deductions can offset income entirely, making the sector a powerful tax shelter [2].

It didn't matter what DOGE said or how they released it Libs gonna Lib. Proof? building a wall was only bad under trump. Kids in cages was terrible under trump until they found out Obama did it.

A wall that can't be fully built or managed or patrolled is a waste. It is a waste under an R and it is a waste under a D.
Promising another country will pay for the wall is doubling down on the dumb.

Kids in cages is bad under an R or a D.

I'm unsure what you are yelling about. Rich folks typically find ways to avoid having much "income". Of course they pay on their reported income. Are you suggesting that there aren't loopholes?

Sure there are loop holes. I'd like to eliminate them. THEY STILL PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. TOP 1% PAYS 45% of all federal tax income revenue.

Loans aren’t considered taxable income, so they can access cash without paying taxes. Upon death, heirs inherit the assets with a stepped-up basis, erasing capital gains [1] [2].

How do they pay that loan off? They sell stock to pay it and then they pay taxes. You can't avoid the tax. You can kick the can down the road but you can't avoid it.

Thiel placed undervalued shares of PayPal into a Roth IRA in 1999. As the shares appreciated, the gains remained tax-free. Roth IRAs are designed for middle-class retirement savings, but Thiel’s maneuver allowed him to shield billions from taxes [1].

I get to do this too. Its not just rich people. There is a very low limit of what you can put in a roth IRA also.

This isn't really true. Either you make money on the deal or you don't If you make money you pay taxes. I'm invested in several oil and gas deals. Its not just for rich people. Its no different than if i go build a spec home for $200,000 and sell it for $250,000. I pay taxes on $50,000. Not $250,000.

We haven't fired enough of them.

The problem isn't number of employees. It's what those employees are focused on.

Their job is review tax returns and make sure everybody pays the correct amount, according to the law.

Your quarrel is not with the employees.

 

[paindonthurt]

A wall that can't be fully built or managed or patrolled is a waste. It is a waste under an R and it is a waste under a D.

Kids in cages is bad under an R or a D.

Except none of you said anything when the Ds were doing the kids in cages and building the same GD wall but it was non stop 24/7 when trump did it.

And mexico did help pay for the wall. When Mexico starts securing the border and it eliminates the need for some of the the US border patrol expenses you save money. That money helps fund a wall. Do you get it now?

Like in manufacturing when I say this new equipment will pay for itself. I don't really mean the new piece of equipment is going to cut a check to the company. Do you understand that?

 

[paindonthurt]

If they aren't doing their job and dont get fired for not doing it, my quarrel is absolutely with them.

 

[mstateglfr]

Because you are.

OK.

I am insufferable for pointing out a clear inconsistency in your claim of supporting a reduction in waste, fraud, and abuse.

Your views on social, economic, and political issues are are consistently inconsistent and arbitrary.

 

[mstateglfr]

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I am not responsible for and do not speak for some massive group of people.
All I can say is that I view a wall which can never be completed nor staffed dumb. And I do not think it should be putting cages.

This is some very impressive, mental, gymnastics, and creative accounting.

You missed your calling. You should have been running audits for Enron and WorldCom. they never would have been caught if you had been in charge and use this sort of reasoning.

Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall 9 years ago.
Mexico did not pay for the wall.
Claiming that a reduction in patrol costs now, is proof Mexico payed for the wall, is one of the dumbest things you have claimed this week.

But you didn't care when it was done by other people. Only when Orange man did it.

Actual its the way a lot of things get paid for in everyday life. You invest in something that saves you money so therefore it pays for itself. We used leverage against Mexico so they started helping us secure the border which saved us money which helped pay for the wall. Its really not a hard concept.

It was also a campaign slogan. OH THE HORROR!!

Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall 9 years ago.
Mexico did not pay for the wall.
Claiming that a reduction in patrol costs now, is proof Mexico payed for the wall, is one of the dumbest things you have claimed this week.

Obama claimed you'd be able to keep your current insurance and your current doctor. Did you get your ****** as chapped about that?

 

[mstateglfr]

Clown. I have said multiple times now that a wall was dumb and caged kids is bad. That holds true for an R or D in the WH. You claimed 'none of you' care, I told you I dont speak for others, and I reiterated my view. Despite that reiteration, you now just claimed I dont care.

I will say this yet again- a wall is dumb and caged kids is bad, regardless of who is in office.

Actual its the way a lot of things get paid for in everyday life. You invest in something that saves you money so therefore it pays for itself. We used leverage against Mexico so they started helping us secure the border which saved us money which helped pay for the wall. Its really not a hard concept.

Trump did not promise that Mexico would pay for the wall through passive reduction in US border security costs 8-9 years later.
You should feel shame for even typing this stupid attempt at a point.

Additionally, $3.715B was for border security in 2017. $4.899B was for border security in 2024.
Adjusted for inflation, that is an increase of $180MM.

Seeing as how we are in the middle of 2025 so actual costs for this year cant be known, what data are you using to support your claim that border patrol costs have dropped and Mexico is therefore paying for the wall?
I am not sure where to even find a breakdown of the overall border security into the various borders that are secured...yet you have confidently claimed costs are down, therefore Mexico paid.

Obama claimed you'd be able to keep your current insurance and your current doctor. Did you get your ****** as chapped about that?

What in the absolutely 17 are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the IRS, Border security, or any of the other stuff you have ranted about.
You have once again totally lost the plot.

Since you brought it up though, I was firmly against the ACA due to the requirement that individuals are forced to participated in the stream of economics as a result. I hated that and I still hate that. I think it is a fundamentally flawed concept. To my core, I do not think people should be forced, by law, to participate in the stream of economics and financially support for-profit companies.

Oh, and I kept my insurance and doctor, for what that is worth.

TDS, Cry Harder...Fart

His economy was good for the first three years of his first term, Operation Warp Speed was great, he's generally anti-war and he's anti-woke, I like that as well. He's not the only Republican Party so it's not like he's essential. DeSantis would have beaten Kamala. Trump appointed a bunch of incompetent toadies who just genuflect before him and cabinet meetings look like something out of North Korea with Dear Leader being effusively praised.

Trump is also incredibly corrupt, he lies just about everything, his behavior is reprehensible, it's worse than any prominent Dem which is why he doesn't want the Epstein stuff released (Dems were protecting Clinton but they no longer need to), he treats our allies disrespectfully, he's got some weird fascination with tariffs and he's old AF. In 2016 he was alert. Now he's moving into Biden territory and speaks like a middle schooler but he rambles more and can't maintain focus on an idea. You can also deal with wokeness, government downsizing and illegal immigration without the harshness of ICE. Obama deported millions and Clinton reduced the size of the govt rationally instead the idiocy of DOGE (FYI, I know veterans who use the VA and people and docs who work for the VA. DOGE is FOS).

And MAGA is a bizarre personality cult of Dale Gribbles who buy all sorts of tasteless swag and don't know anything. I suspect they don't own many books. They advertise themselves in MAGA swag just like blue-haired feminists on college campuses do. When you see them you already know 99% of their political beliefs.

You'd have gotten all the good stuff with DeSantis without the nonsense and reputation damage Trump is doing. Trump won because the Dems ran two unlikeable candidates: Hillary and the utterly clueless Kamala. But his strongest supporters somehow things he's Godlike because being anti-lib and owning the libz is what's important.

I'd actually like a president who addresses the nation as "My fellow Americans" instead "Dear MAGA Patriots and even you loser scum..."
