How do you feel?

[joeldalton]

The Biden regime is sending another $4.5 billion in cash and $1 billion in weapons to ukraine, and the dems want to hire another 67,000 IRS agents to shake you down for it.

Hey mods who took down this question...🖕

If Ukraine falls, then other former Soviet states are next. It would also embolden China to invade Taiwan and possibly lob some missiles at Japan.

It would be the end of US hegemony, and cause the greenback to loose it's reserve currency/petro dollar status, kicking off at minimal another great depression in the western world, and probably a world war involving nukes.

It's not a situation that the US can simply back out of to save money. It's a proxy war, with Russia, and a deciding moment for the cold war with China. It's not an exaggeration to say that the future of western civilization, and the species as a whole songs precariously in the balance.

Enjoy the calm before the storm. This might be the last summer of the good old days.

[joeldalton]

Doubt.

[ArtemisSilver]

You seem to be having a hard time grasping the bigger picture. Study the situation and you'll find I'm alarmingly correct.

[joeldalton]

Right. It’d be a shame if the dem politicians couldn’t launder tax dollars through Ukraine.

[ArtemisSilver]

ReD aN BlUe MAkE diFFerEnCe!

[Roseboy]

i love you calling it "The Biden Regime" it's very funny to me

but anyway

I don't think Ukraine support is a bad thing and I think it's perfectly fine that "The Biden Regime" is supporting their cause

but I also think

maybe if they can do that - why don't they invest a bit more money in solving the USA's internal issues

a great somewhat related question my aunt asked was "If you'd take in a Ukrainian would you take in a homeless person?"

[joeldalton]

Lol, you’re 15. You don’t even pay taxes.

[Sixgunsound]

Or how about if you take in a Ukrainian would you take in a non-European? Bowser won’t 😆

[Slingblade1126]

I feel like every high profile republican, across the country, is gonna conveniently have their tax info leaked to just about every news outlet nationwide. Trump and DeSantis will get special treatment. They'll have a team of agents crawling up their ass during the night, without them even knowing. Just another corrupt left wing agency. The left doesn't even hide it anymore, because they get a green light from the even more corrupt media.

[Sixgunsound]

Only 67k? I thought it was 80k. This is what the end of a nation looks like, when the politicians start looting the treasury and they don’t care who sees it or knows about how they are protecting themselves and their interests at the expense of the people who are too little to do anything about it.

[Anonymous]

It's the start of the you will own nothing operation to take away EVERYTHING from the citizens from the cash in your pocket to the car on your drive, hell even the drive and the house as well

You have money in the stock market say goodbye to it, crypto don't make me laugh, they'll hack the wedding ring off your finger

Business owner no longer and yeah your pension well we might as well have it, given we will kill you once you're too old to work anyway

[Opinion Owner]

Meanwhile the democrats are going full-Lewinsky on Joey baby wondering how can it be so dry and dusty but yet so delicious

[FunkyMonkee]

Usually with my fingers.

There is no law that says we HAVE to pay taxes!! They are to be paid VOLUNTARILY! Stop paying them and Joe won't HAVE that kind of money to waste and give away to everyone else!! We pay taxes to help OUR COUNTRY!! It's NOT like a church collection plate or donations that can be used to give to others!! You can bet your ass that if Trump gave our taxes away like that, they'd have been ALL OVER HIS ASS ABOUT IT!!

[Sixgunsound]

There voluntary until government thugs with guns show up and murder you ‘for resisting’ at any rate.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Sixgunsound "Thugs" being the operative word!

[MangoBob]

There will be an IRS agent looking over your shoulder every time you go shopping, to the bank, ordering on line, they’ll shake your wallets purses and pockets out looking for hidden pennies, this isn’t aimed at the rich, its aimed at the middle class.

[joeldalton]

Bingo.

[LordOfThePines]

It doesn't matter to me. I pay my taxes on time and in full, so they won't bother me. What they do with their money is their concern.

And yes guys, it is their money. It ceases to be your money the moment you pay the government. That's how taxes work.

[joeldalton]

lmao. god damn they got you brainwashed good.

[LordOfThePines]

How so?

[joeldalton]

If you work for it, it's YOUR money. That the government confiscates and gives to ukraine.

[LordOfThePines]

It is my money, until I pay the government. If I bought some soda at the store, it is no longer my money. If I pay a library fine, that is no longer my money. If I pay for medicine, it is no longer my money.

[joeldalton]

The big difference is you go to the store, buy a soda and you have a soda. You're paying taxes for Ukraine to get soda.

[joeldalton]

If you don't want a soda, you don't buy one.

[LordOfThePines]

Correct, they do send some to Ukraine. But again, that is their money to do so as they please. I don't blame you for not liking where your tax money is sent, but it is not up to you. I don't like how my money went to a border fence, or a bloated military. But I pay my taxes all the same, and they spend their money how they wish.

[joeldalton]

No, it's not their money. Still not their money.

[LordOfThePines]

It really is, but you don't need to agree with me. Since you cannot see reason, I will disconnect here. Have a good day.

[joeldalton]

Lol, enjoy your slavery to the state.

[MangoBob]

Exactly, our grandchildren’s grandchildren’s kids now owe the government over $150,000 each and they are a long ways off from being born, born into tax slavery

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't want to ever hear another American politicians say they don't have money for health-care, child tax credit, education, infrastructure etc.

The money I pay in taxes for the benefit of America goes to Ukraine. Freaking unbelievable.

[Sixgunsound]

Ukraine is how Democrats launder money for themselves. It is the most corrupt European nation in existence.

[Anonymous]

You forgot all of this stuff:

-528k July jobs added -Unemployment at 3.5% (50-year low)
-Zawahiri killed
-CHIPS Act passes
-PACT Act passes
-Inflation Reduction Act deal
-Gas hits 50+ day low (median US price below $4/gal)
-Kansas protects abortion

And he did it all with COVID.
dark brandon is on fire!

[joeldalton]

I love you idiots. The left can’t meme.

[Opinion Owner]

I forgot to add that he's raided the House of your cult leader. 😂

[joeldalton]

Foiled by his arch enemy……. stairs and complete sentence man.

[Opinion Owner]

Just imagine all the evidence required to convince a judge to Grant a search warrant on a former president. Tick tock.

[joeldalton]

Ah you losers keep dreaming.

[Opinion Owner]

[Opinion Owner]

[joeldalton]

[888theGreat]

more agents than that. They are going to double what they have now. To take out small businesses. They tried to with covid shut down but it didn't work.

[joeldalton]

They actively hate Americans. There's no two ways about it.

[MangoBob]

Exactly correct

[888theGreat]

If you post a question pro Trump, anti Biden , pro rights, or anti liberal it is taken down. If you are critical of taxes , it is taken down.

[joeldalton]

@888thegreat yup. That's the liberal way.

[Juxtapose]

I'm feeling like anyone who dares to touch the entitlement programs needs to shut the fuck up now. With how much money we're sending to Ukraine instead of our own people.. I am enraged.

[Anonymous]

It is actually 87,000. They didn't hire them to shake down billionaires and millionaires. They hired them to shake down middle class people. Especially if they don't tow the regime's line.

[AFretiredTXn]

Get real. Wake up and smell the roses. No where does it say the 67000 IRSagents are coming to shake anybody down. You're just another Trump backer.

[joeldalton]

lmao, are they there for shits and giggles? Are you an idiot?

[AFretiredTXn]

Nothing in the image says anything about the agents, so why show it?

[joeldalton]

In all, the meant-to-be-inflation buster bill will dole out about $80 billion to the IRS for increase enforcement, operational improvements, customer service, and systems modernization. Think big, really big. That $80 billion is more than six times the current annual IRS budget of $12.6 billion.

How can the IRS spend all of that? You guessed it, the bill says a whopping $45.6 billion will be for enforcement, and make no mistake, enforcement is the main directive from Democrats to the IRS. Get bigger, tougher and faster at collecting, and make them pay. Meanwhile, the IRS could be ramping up its police power too. The IRS is a key part of the government, but not one you usually associate with law enforcement and guns.
