@SUDHIRT64354301 @PeterSchiff You’re from India. Stay in your own lane. If you’re not an American, nobody gives a shit what you think.

@PeterSchiff Voluntary compliance means self-reporting not optional payment and the legal duty to pay taxes is firmly established and upheld by courts.

Today is April 15th, tax day. My father Irwin Schiff referred to it as the real April Fool's Day, as on this day millions of Americans volunteer to pay a tax that no law actually requires them to pay. For years my father asked the IRS to show him the law, but they never did.

All the MAGA influencers started talking about Swalwell to hide the fact the GOP Senate will not pass the SAVE Act. Everybody still pretends the GOP exists. But that's false. We have a corrupt uniparty.

@mattvanswol -10. They are actually working AGAINST us.

On a scale of 1-10… How would you rate the current performance of the GOP in Congress?

@ppumpkin11 @MarshaBlackburn Sounds like Georgia – at least Atlanta

@MarshaBlackburn Wrong. We are busting at the seams. Our once peaceful state has now turned into a crowded expensive state where no one local can afford to buy a home.

People are in pursuit of affordability, and that’s why they’re flocking to Tennessee. In Tennessee, we welcome new families and businesses as long as they check the blue state policies at the state line.

@Nirbush @MarshaBlackburn I heard New Jersey is nice this time of year

@MarshaBlackburn No don't move to Tenn it's overcrowded and horrible. Florida and Texas are much better choices

@HowEPhil Now do NYC

Atlanta needs more people oriented streets, pocket parks, & neighborhood squares. The amount of people who can quickly access & enjoy a location when cars are not clogging up a city’s arteries is undeniable.

@HalcyonHypnotic Private industry always beats government grift – every time

Hot take but SpaceX is probably the best civil engineering company in the world. Somehow they are able to make these insanely complex ground system and building designs and find the perfect contractors and technicians to build out their ideas in months or 1-2 years. I feel like we need the SpaceX methodology and their contractors across many projects. If we did we could probably have gotten so much done and in a much higher quality. They say you can’t have fast, cheap, and good, but somehow SpaceX always manages to deliver on all 3.

Never forget that 33 years ago we learned the government will kill your dog, shoot your 14 year old son in the back and snipe your wife in the doorway while she holds your infant child. #RubyRidge Imagine being 14 years old, living off the grid in the Idaho woods in 1992. You’re walking your dog when suddenly he growls and *bang*, the dog is shot and killed. You look up and see a man in a Ghillie suit with a rifle pointed at you. Fear grips you. You pull your gun and fire. You’re just defending yourself. This is your home. You run back toward your parents, only to be shot in the back and killed before you can reach them. You never understand what went wrong or why. The next day, a sniper fires again. Your mother, standing in the doorway holding your baby sister, is hit in the head and killed instantly. All of this started because your father Randy Weaver, sold two sawed-off shotguns to an undercover agent and refused to become a government informant. They gave him a false court date and set up armed surveillance at your home, waiting for the moment they could escalate. Randy Weaver was a former U.S. Army Green Beret. He served in the military before moving off the grid with his family in northern Idaho. His military background added to the tension for federal authorities, because he was trained in weapons and survival, but it didn’t make him violent or a threat to anyone outside his property. After an 11 day stand off with Randy and the baby inside with two dead bodies, the government was ordered to pay millions in settlements to Randy. They were proven to be in the wrong for this deadly power trip. But that doesn’t bring back a 14 year old boy or his mother. Stay educated. Some of our history isnt taught in school for a reason. 💯

@FoaRyan @Cointuckeywind1 and you & I paid tax. That’s for damn sure. Hard to not resent it -especially when WTP have to manage our finances & the govt wastes it like a sailor on shore leave.

@JCarpenterjr @Cointuckeywind1 All their employees paid tax. The business reinvested in things that are taxed. The business is part of an overall economy without which there would be nothing to tax. Not a defense of multinational corps but these are facts.

As a citizen, if you don't pay your taxes, the IRS will freeze your bank accounts, seize your assets and render you incapable of defending yourself in court. If you're an illegal, you can defraud the government of millions and nothing happens to you.

@GAFollowers Also known for surly, entitled airport employees who don't GAD.

The Airports Council International said that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport stayed the world’s busiest airport in 2025, with about 106.3 million passengers. That’s slightly lower than 2024 and also down compared to 2019.

@robbystarbuck Why are there 88 corporations in 2025 earning hundreds of millions to billions that paid ZERO TAX year while WTP have to pony up or get a lien, levy, garnishment, bank account & property seized and maybe jail if we owe anything? It ain't right.

For all my life I’ve paid taxes, and while I’ve been pretty irritated by it, this year it hits different. I always knew there was fraud and abuse but what we’ve learned this year makes me think MOST of our tax $$ funds fraud & abuse while a tiny chunk funds necessities. We need a revolution in how we spend money as a country and we need a revolution in how we tax people, because I firmly believe that YOU will put your money to uses far more beneficial to all of us than the government will. Extremely powerful interests want us to be slaves to waste and abuse. We don’t have to be. I really think this is the rally cry of the future. The more we’re taxed, the more we’re enslaved. The more money YOU keep from YOUR hard work, the more free we all are. We need candidates going forward who are committed to keeping their hands out of our wallets. And yes, I paid my tax bill today. 😡😤 What do you think?

@GretchenPSmith He will. Count on Him.

It is finished. God help me…

@GAFollowers Built by black friends of the insiders with lots of under the table $. Atlanta - Where the thugs wear a suit.

Atlanta plans to build a $100 million Andrew Young Peace Institute in Vine City with a museum, learning spaces, and civil rights exhibits, aiming to open around 2029. The project shows Atlanta’s effort to become a global leader in peace and civil rights.

@EricLDaugh Where the F has he been that I took him this long to step up? Great to let his buddies in the oil, industry rack up extorted profits on the back of consumers while he gets his act together

🚨 Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just FIRED OFF A WARNING to the oil and gas companies if they refuse to drop prices the same way they raised prices! "Treasury will be keeping retail gas stations HONEST. You did this on the way up, better be doing this on the way down!" 🔥 "I'm sure the president will call out anyone who's a bad actor." CNBC: That sounds like a warning! BESSENT: "I'm sure everyone will be a good actor..."

@DudemanUSA @DerrickEvans4WV Apparently you are correct bc NOTHING has happened here

@DerrickEvans4WV You gotta be realistic, trump can't solve every little problem you want when you want it..

When Trump was re-elected I thought we were going to see all our war against the deep state. Instead he ended up endorsing the deep state.

Cocaine found at Biden's house Dead body was found at Obama's house Male prostitute found at Pelosi's house Illegal servers found at Clinton's house And the FBI raided Trump's house

@McgeachieMike @toddstarnes Mocking a woman whose husband was shot in public. Classy move.

@toddstarnes Erika cancelled her strip show?…MAGAs not interested in another Vance rant…

That arena at the University of Georgia could accomodate more than 8,000 people. They are estimating 1,500 people showed up -- to hear the vice president of the United States. Why so many empty seats?

@AnotherSorryGuy @toddstarnes Agree. It went from drain the swamp to contain the swamp pretty fast. And even that isn’t happening.

@toddstarnes The problem is that we are fighting battles that Trump has abandoned. All the "drain the Swamp" promises have evaporated. That. is what we voted for, and why we nominated Trump.

@SpeakerJohnson @GOP And it only consumed 50 pages to print out the worksheets and documents to file as an independent contractor. This is a shitty system, Mike. But you’re on the Apex end of it so I doubt you’ll do anything.

The difference between the successes of today and failures of the past is real. Thanks to Republican support of the Working Families Tax Cuts, more of your hard-earned money stays where it belongs — in your pocket.
