The Buckets by Greg Cravens for November 19, 2016

I'm glad to hear you've got a job! It's not a real job. I have to pay taxes. Everyone pays taxes. No, I mean, taxes aren't taken out of my check, so that I'd be getting some back at tax time. I have to pay it. You mean, you personally will know precisely how much money the government is gouging you for? Yeah! You'd think they'd make that illegal, wouldn't you?

Yes, it is a shame they take money so they are able to repair infrastructure and such.

And that is why Trump won. We do know how much we pay, & I am tired of supporting the world when I can’t get ahead in my own life. When I see all of the able-bodied people on EBT cards at the supermarket checkout, I get very angry. Being an independent contractor, I pay double the social security tax because I do not have an employer picking up the other half. We write Obama’s corrupt government a check every year, & get nothing but garbage in return. Go Trump. I see Ford decided to stay here after all, & Apple may move back to the USA. I pray that sanctuary cities are defunded. We need to take care of our own citizens, not the rest of the world. Toby is learning! Tax dollars are not spent wisely.

Now that Trump is president, we have to show we are smart by taking advantage of every questionable tax loophole we can find. That’s just good business, and with IRS staffing being cut substantially over the past few years, they’ll never be able to catch us all. (It’s very, very unlikely that Trump will increase IRS staffing. It’s probably more likely that he’ll divorce Melania and run away with Angela Merkel to Aruba.)
An easy one is to emulate the Trump Foundation and take bills you pay as charitable contributions wherever possible.

Whatever you do, Toby. Don’t become a Tax Man.
Fat chance.

A huge portion of the taxes goes to pay bureaucrats to crush the economy. Strip out that waste, and the economy could pay for all of the welfare.

All you small gov’t, pro-Trump, socialism = communism folks are just plain stupid. It’s that simple. You’re dupes. WE will get the government YOU deserve.
