Good day all. Since the date of American’s annual forced payments to the government is about to arrive, I thought I would look into how much Uncle Sam is stealing from Americans.
The amount is massive. So far, the United States Treasury has confiscated almost $1 and one half TRILLION dollars. Yes, trillion. Here are the details from the Free Beacon:
Inflation-adjusted federal tax revenues hit a record $1.48 trillion for the first half of fiscal year 2016, but the federal government still ran a $461 billion deficit during that time, according to the latest monthly Treasury Department statement. Treasury receipts include tax revenue from individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, social insurance and retirement taxes, unemployment insurance taxes, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and other miscellaneous items.
With all that money coming in, the United States will still be some $500 billion in the hole. Why? Because the fools and idiots on Capitol Hill don’t comprehend fiscal responsibility. For them, it’s all about buying votes to keep their fat behinds in their seats in Congress. To top things off, Cankles Clinton has announced that she plans on raising taxes another $1 trillion dollars. In an article on the Americans for Tax Reform web site:
During an interview with the editorial team of the New York Daily News, Hillary Clinton admitted her tax proposals will increase taxes on the American people by at least $1 trillion over the next ten years. Here is the key exchange from the meeting, according to a transcript released by the Daily News:
Clinton: I have connected up my proposals for the kind of investments I want to make with the taxes that I think have to be raised. So on individual pieces of my agenda, I try to demonstrate clearly that I have a way for paying for paid family leave, for example, for debt-free tuition. So I would spend about $100 billion a year. And I think it’s affordable, and I think it’s a smart way to make investments, to go back to our economic discussion, that will contribute to growing the economy.
Now I’m well aware that this is a heavy lift. I understand that. But I think connecting what I’m asking for to the programs, to the outcomes and results that I’m calling for give me a stronger hand, and that’s how I’m going to go at it.
Daily News: So if I understand you correctly, if you look at your proposals for college costs and for family leave, for infrastructure investments…
Clinton: Well, that’s a little bit different, because infrastructure investment, I’m still looking at how we fund the National Infrastructure Bank. It may be repatriation. That’s one theory, or something else. It’s about $100 billion a year.
Daily News: A hundred billion a year, so that comes out to about a trillion dollars…
Clinton: Over ten.
Daily News: …over ten years.
Comrade Bernie Sanders plan is to basically confiscate everyone’s money and dole out goodies to those he thinks are most worthy. Both of these fools claim they are going to “Tax the Rich.” the problem is, the rich won’t pay it. They’ll just leave the country for cheaper countries and renounce their citizenship, which is already happening. The morons on both sides of the aisle can’t grasp that there is a finite amount of money out there. Yes, we can grow the “pie” as it were, but not if they keep stealing the flour.
The United States does not have a tax receipts problem, we have an out of control spending problem. There is no way we can tax our way clear. It’s been tried here and abroad and has failed every single time. Under Comrade Bernie, and to a lesser extant Cankles Clinton, the United States economy will collapse, and we will make the current situation in Venezuela look like an economic paradise in comparison.
These fools need to read the history of the American Revolution. One of the main causes was taxation. The cry, “No Taxation without Representation!” is as valid today as it was in 1776. More so since the United States government, at all levels, is confiscating far more of a person’s paycheck then the British Crown ever did. They might want to actually pull their heads out of their asses and take a look around. The people are not happy. Considering the $6500 I had to fork over, neither am I.
