As I come up for air after another marathon session on X, a stray clip wandered onto my feed showing meltdowns by the bullies who have made our life a living hell for the last 5 years. It is absolutely glorious. Maxine ‘Giardia’ Waters demanding entry into the Department of Education building? Hahaha.
First time for everything, right? I would bet my taxes that she had never set foot in that building before Thursday, or after Thursday. Chuckie Schumer raising his geriatric ‘posse’ into a frenzy of raspy chants of dissatisfaction with being DOGED. ‘We will win’. Is that what they were trying to say? Too late, target.
Gee…this is the first time EVER in my life that I am getting what I voted for. And those old entrenched farts are NOT it. They need to get in their wheelchairs, hobble over to their walkers or grab their canes and expire already. Term Limits.
I have said for years that if everyone had to actually sit down and write the government a check instead of having it sneakily withheld (Thanks FDR) there would have been a revolution a long time ago.
Income Taxes
The Civil War led to the creation of the country's first income tax and the first version of the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, what we now know as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).2 This office took over the responsibility of collecting federal taxes, relieving individual states of the duty. Excise taxes were also added to almost every commodity possible: alcohol, tobacco, gunpowder, and even tea.
The federal income tax as we know it was officially enacted in 1913. Corporate income taxes were enacted in 1909.
Payroll Tax Withholding
After the establishment of federal income tax in 1913, the government put in place a system of mandatory tax withholding. Complaints from employers about this system led to its repeal in 1917. During the 1930s, when the Social Security Act was passed, the government funded the new Social Security pension system through payroll tax withholding.
Before the 1940s, taxpayers who owed federal income taxes paid them the following year, in quarterly installments. The financial burdens of World War II forced the government to raise more revenue, more frequently, throughout the year. As the federal budget rose tenfold during the war, from $9 billion in 1940 to $98 billion in 1945, Congress passed a law called the Current Tax Payment Act in 1943 to solve this problem.
Tax withholding has continued uninterrupted since the passage of the Current Tax Payment Act. Employees have some control over the amount of income tax withheld, but payroll taxes are fixed and mandated by federal law. Social Security payroll withholding amounts to 12.4 percent of gross wages, split evenly between employers and employees (6.4 percent each). The IRS collects payroll taxes on behalf of the Social Security trust fund, which continues to pay for retirement and disability benefits. It collects Medicare tax at the rate of 1.45 percent on all earnings.
It has been less than three weeks into DJT’s Presidency and it feels like a hundred years. The rooting out of our enemies is better than the superbowl. Are you seeing them get all offended by one of the genius young DOGE men going by the online name of Big Ballz? Give me a break.
What’s the matter libbies? Are you upset that he still has some and they are not sitting in a jar at a tranny clinic somewhere? Are you upset he has not renamed himself Big Vagina? They are all a bunch of hypocrites and I can’t stand it when people just go along with them because having a working brain requires committment.
And…this guy impersonating DJT? He is great. @Shawn_Farash on X.
There has been so much TREASON for so many years. Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution states:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the Testimony of two witnesses to the same overt Act or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have the Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder off Treason shall work Corruption of Blood or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attained.”
Do you think people in this nation have been giving AID to our enemies? Everywhere? Comfort to our enemies? Everywhere? USAID? Idiotic people in our Congress calling openly for insurrection and disobedience? Do you think that having servers full of treason counts as a ‘witness’? You can order your copy of The Constitution from The Heritage Foundation.
And the border?? OMgosh. El Salvador offering to house prisoners for us for a small fee? Heck yes. I do believe that American prisoners should not be given to another country, but those who aren’t citizens? Absolutely. Have you see the photos of those prisons? This CNN piece? Scary AF.
So..I am voting for more. More time. More time to watch the deepstate implode all over themselves. Best show ever. But does Trump really have to attend the Superbowl? Everyone is comparing this to The Sum of All Fears. I am rooting through my DVDs right now.
Everyday is a new and wonderful thing. And, the last 4 years have been horrendous on us, but we had NO idea of the prison planet we were funding and I have to tell the rest of the world that WE had no idea and I am sick and sorry. Pull all that evil out by the roots and may it burn in hell forever.
The USA was/is a dirty rotten mess. And anyone who says otherwise has already had their lobotomy.
LFG!
My tolerance of lib friends is getting tested, severely. Have we nothing in common anymore? During the last four years I allowed them their delusions, it’s getting harder and harder to ignore the divide.
You said it!
You nailed it!
LFG!
