@DarrigoMelanie And in the future: Average American : All their income in their account $0 paid in taxes. As it should be.

Disney: $8.3B in profits $0 paid in taxes CVS Health: $6.57B in profits $0 paid in taxes Tesla: $5.7B in profits $0 paid in taxes Citigroup: $4.45B in profits $0 paid in taxes United Airlines: $4.3B in profits $0 paid in taxes Coinbase: $1.62B in profits $0 paid in taxes Palantir: $1.58B in profits $0 paid in taxes PayPal: $1.43B in profits $0 paid in taxes Yum! Brands: $1B in profits $0 paid in taxes At least 88 companies reported $105B in profits last year, and paid $0 in taxes. But Republicans want you to think someone working 40 hours a week for poverty wages, relying on SNAP and Medicaid to survive, is the problem. itep.org/88-profitable-…

@charliebilello No. There should be no tax on income. Period. I don't work for the government and never have. They aren't great at doing anything.

Solution to the insanely complex tax code: No deductions No credits No exemptions No AMT No loopholes Flat tax on all income Simple. Transparent. Efficient. Which is exactly why it will never happen.

@MarindaVannoy1 @grok what's the average overall worth of senators and congresspeople who are retiring? Take into account their spouses and as much of their family as you can pull in (they're all on the take.)

Me on my way to work a 12hr shift to support quality learing centers, the unemployed, Yemen, illegals, Section 8 housing, mattress actresses and their 12 kids from 14 different baby daddies, so members of Congress can fly first class, have free healthcare, and $1M retirement.

@garrytan Congratulations or my condolences. Some grammas are great and some are awful and better dead.

My grandma passed away today.

@vandell33 Let's make it real that the horrible Income Tax on Americans is going way. It's gone too far. Even kids who got their education from a Somali Learing Center know that.

I’m seeing far too many people claiming that Scott Bessent’s remarks mean the IRS is disappearing. That is not what was said. What he actually said is update your W-4 to withhold less from each paycheck so your take-home pay increases now and you'll owe any difference next April.

@GamewithDave Tie Fighter and XCom UFO defense. And Mars Saga. and The Bards Tale.

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@grok @ick_real 'Hortense' is my favorite.

@comicmatters @ick_real Here are some ridiculously old-school girl's names that hit different—rare today but still absolute bangers: 1700s: Prudence, Euphemia, Temperance 1800s: Lavinia, Theodora, Millicent Early 1900s: Ethel, Gladys, Hortense Any of these feel like the great-grandma winner?

I'm looking for a ridiculously old-fashioned girl's name for our new born . Think great-grandma name. Very old and rare. Any suggestions asap pls?

@NYCMayor Govt in the US is bad at everything. Spending on communism vs war is not a good choice. How about cut US citizens taxes to zero and figure out how small govt needs to be?

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran. Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

@BrianRoemmele and what a human voice Perry had! Also I think my mom had that top.

This was 44 years ago and the only tech for the singer was a microphone and a human voice… It was another time and it was another place.

We spent a century dismantling every institution that tried to teach people how to be good. Now we're building AI on the wreckage and wondering why it has no soul.

@BrianRoemmele right up your alley instagram.com/reel/DWtrqWoCG…

@TifosiJoe31 @MerlijnTrader This happened to me this year

@MerlijnTrader Do this, and then at the end of the year you have a $5000 tax bill. No thanks.

UNREAL: 🇺🇸 U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said something extraordinary. "Change your withholding. You will get an automatic real wage increase." Translation: stop letting the government take your money upfront. Keep it yourself. Every week. Every month. The U.S. Treasury Secretary just told Americans to hold onto their own money. That is not a normal thing for a Treasury Secretary to say.

@Milajoy You’ve basically described my life.

I’m fucking done. Sixty years of grinding. A four-year degree earned the hard way. Raising good kids. Paying every tax they demanded. Following every rule. Voting the way they told us to. And for what? A system that mocks us. Politicians who lie to our faces on camera. Empty promises of “better days” that were nothing but bait. They cash the checks. We foot the bill. We built this country. We carried it on our backs. We were the ones who still believed hard work would pay off. Newsflash: It doesn’t. Not anymore. Not for honest, working, middle-class Americans. We’re not blind anymore. We’re awake. We’re angry. And we’re done staying quiet. Who else is finished being exploited? Drop a 🔥 if you’re with me. This ends now.

@RonnieIrby1951 Wow what a prick you must be. Hope that’s changed.

Today, is Pretty Rough Day for Old Ronnie, 1 Year Ago Today - I lost my Oldest Son, Jeremy, to a one vehicle accident, motor cycle. Didn't get to attend the funeral or the viewing, due to his mother (Whom I have been divorced from for 45 years) and wasn't even listed on the Obituary, nor any of my family!! To put it bluntly, I am not doing well today!!! I Could Use Some Prayers from All of Y'all who pray!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL & YOUR FAMILIES!!!

Hey IRS, do I wire my payments directly to the Learing Center in Minneapolis and the Hospice in CA this year or are you still brokering those deals? #TaxDay

@ewarren Anytime you say “tax” I say “no.” I can do this all day.

A Boston public school teacher is paying a higher tax rate than Jeff Bezos is today. That's flat-out wrong. My Wealth Tax for ultra-millionaires and billionaires will finally right the wrongs of our tax code so that the rich pay their fair share.

I don’t make a huge income. I’m single and I pay taxes at the pump, on purchases, at the dmv and on my income. I don’t have a lot left over but the government made me pay even more today. They waste it, steal it, launder it and feel they are entitled to more, all while funding NGOs that use it to subvert the constitution. It’s sick.

The original Constitution, as written by the Founding Fathers, did not clearly authorize a federal income tax. That changed in 1913, when sleazeball Woodrow Wilson and Congress oversaw the ratification of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, allowing taxation of income, followed by the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act. This was the start of the downfall of our currency value.
