First half of fiscal year 2022 record $2Trillion plus taxes collected.

For the first time in U.S.history tax collection for the Oct. thru end of March tax period exceeded $2 Trillion plus dollars.The total for this first half of fiscal year 2022 the government collected was $2,121,987,000,000 which beat the previous high of $1,849,508,090,000 which was collected in the first half of fiscal year 2020.

 

I've stated this over and over again, before I ever joined the TEA Party. We have a SPENDING problem, not a tax revenue problem. We need to CUT Spending in virtually all areas. We are destroying our children's future with this reckless spending.

 

It was probably Trump's "don't tax the rich" plan.

 

His tax plan is still in effect with LOWER RATE ON THE WEALTHY.

 

No matter how much is collected by the government the politicians never have enough of our money.

 

Right no RUSSIA is costing us a fortune, and many of our NATO partners as well.

 

We still have a looong way to go until billionaires actually pay their fair share.

 

Typical democrat talking points to get the working man's vote. They write the tax laws and then claim the rich don't "pay their fair share". Try looking up who pays most of the income tax per the IRS. You will see how the politicians are lying to you.
Besides, and think before you answer this question -- Why should a billionaire pay more taxes that the teacher, plumber, or the postman?

 

Because they have more.

 

Just tax more... that solves all of the problems. Lets not correct the tremendous amount of foreigners in the USA taking American jobs and the perpetual slave labor force working on American farms. Trade deficit? That's okay we won't tariff/encourage factories in our own country because pollution is bad. Even though all of China's rivers are so polluted that their entire ecosystem is destroyed. Just export jobs, economic power, stability, self sufficiency, etc for the imports of "cheap" goods in the short term.

 

Yep that's what the public wants.

 

Quote this "lie", and the evidence that it's a lie. Just so we know what the hell you're talking about.

 

The public is stupid. Clearly shows Democracy is working model for Elites because you only need to run the media job once and the idiots vote for what we have today.

 

Yes we are.

 

You gave a greedy and envious answer.
Sure, penalize production, penalize a good work ethic, penalize success, and penalize productivity. Then give some of the tax money to slackers.

 

You are confusing what the public wants with want the politicos want.

 

They thee billionaires should pay at least the lowest RATE required of weekly paycheck earners which is 10% of their check.

 

The lowest income tax rate that weekly paycheck earners pay is 0%, not 10%. They do have to pay social security and Medicare tax at about 7.5% (while their employer also pays 7.5% for each worker. Billionaires also must pay 7.5% of any wages and salary they get and 15% on any business operating income. They don't pay either on dividends, interest, or capita.ll gains, but they do pay 4% on those things as a net investment income tax over and above any income tax on those three items. The NIIT applies only to richer people.

 

You know someone who's employer does not collect the minimum rate of 10% taxes from their weekly paycheck????

 

Millionaires and billionaires should pay AT LEAST 10% of every dollar they managed to accumulate in a calendar year, regardless of source.

 

BS.

 

They have been receiving CHARITY long enough, time for them to pay THEIR FAIR SHARE !!!!

 

How about everyone paying their fair share?

 

And for some that's little or nothing.

 

yeah, the tea part pretty much disappeared during the Trump years, why he was able to spend more than any other President ever has in 4 years

that said, the real issue is not just spending, but sending so many jobs overseas

what ever happened during the Bush years set us on course for the debt to grow out of control more and more each year, and I believe part of that was Bush's push for H1B visas, those people came here, we trained them, then they went back to their countries and took our jobs with them
