Wtf even filing my taxes is taxed

Can we have a tea party

Beer is fermented tea.

So basically he's forcing people to pay extra to a private company to file their fucking taxes.

Can someone please think of the shareholders...?

Anything and everything to hurt Americans.

Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but, hear me out....what if I told you you're now allowed to be openly racist?

And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That depends, can I cosplay as military and send browns to concentration camps too? For more than I currently make as with a Bachelor's degree and over 10 years experience?

Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don't file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don't deserve our tax dollars.

Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn't matter what it is or if it's attached to something that'll kill them, they'll flock and rave to it regardless

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Why can't a leftist candidate do that? What's the secret sauce? Is it violence, or the threat of violence?

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It would be easy like this

I will make healthcare free for everyone! We're going to have the best healthcare in the world and billionaires are going to pay for it!

I'm going to start a federal drug program! We're going to have the cheapest drugs in the world and no-one will have to decide between rent and their medication!

I'm going to start a national Give Parents Freedom Act, where we will provide free daycare for any parent making under 100k/year! We will pay for it by cutting the military budget by 1%!

In my first 100 days I'm going to sign the mothers are awsome executive order mandating 1 year of maternity leave for mothers and 3 months for fathers. Employers will not be allowed to fire any new parent.

I'm also going to divert ICE money into a new consumer agency called "IYCIWFYU" (If you collude I will fuck you up) their entire mission will be to investigate corporations that are price fixing and stealing money from the people.

I'm going to make digital Tax filing FREE for everyone and divert all IRS investigations into people making over 5 million per year!

Instead we get

I'll try to pass a bipartisan bill to maybe fix some roads... 🤷I don't know... We'll see what Republicans let me do 😢

I think the secret sauce is critical thinking. No joke.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.

Could probably succeed on a "hate the billionaires" ticket, if these people weren't so programmed with capitalism.

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fascism doesn't have to model reality, just knit together a story that confirms underlying biases of the "middle class" without questioning the system that privileged them, but is failing.

Leftists have the advantage in that we can describe exactly why your material conditions are eroding while we are more productive than ever, but for someone who was privileged under capitalism, its easier to believe the system that privileged them is good and just, its just foreigners and minorities who are exploiting them.

My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he'd do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that's making Dads financial situation worse.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck your dad.

No offense.

[–] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don't really blame my Dad for it, he's in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.

He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn't ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he's not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a "Trump supporter" I doubt he is now.

What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama's economy.

[–] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Thats because Obama fixed an economy a republican had broken, and it took a long time to reverse that. How were things by the end of this cheeto nazi's first term?

Unforgivable to remotely support this pedophile who wants to murder anyone he doesn't like, and this has been known about him for decades. Look at the central park five amd his years of vommentary about his own daughter, all before the first term.

Your dad has zero fucking morals.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 37 points 6 days ago (2 children)

There's still "IRS Free File", which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to "upgrade" you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.

Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.

Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I'm aware of.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it's literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don't get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It's also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the "free" software isn't.

Freetaxusa is the GOAT for filing. Have all my shit saved on a NAS and it's so easy.

[–] Ronno@feddit.nl 16 points 6 days ago

There are only three certainties in life (US edition):

  • Taxes
  • Filing your taxes
  • Death
[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I managed to get to use this last year before Cheeto Mussolini got rid of it. It was simple, straight-forward and free for the basic filings. Of course that fucking twat waffle would get rid of it.

They're just going to have a record high number of people not filing their taxes, and I can't tell if that's the point?

[–] aarRJaay@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

I doubt Trump has ever paid tax in his life

I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.

It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:

The ultimate protest has always been mailing in your taxes

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's okay guys, because of that bill we saved 0.00005% of federal spending and our tax breaks only increased the deficit by like 2,631.58% resulting in 50 Trillion USD debt by 2032. You're welcome. /s
