Scratch the <$200k yearly income for tax relief, now tariffs will replace tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security (1 Viewer)

[Airyaman]

These idiots flit about from day to day, just making things up as they go. Now instead of Trump's idea of reducing or eliminating income tax on those who make less than $200k, Bessent tells us that tariffs can replace tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security.

"Promises made, promises kept!"

(Well, except a president cannot change tax law by fiat)



I was told Bessent was one of the more competent people in the Trump admin. Either that is a bold faced lie, or #ETTD.

Promises made, fingers crossed, suckers taken in. Trump is once again exposed as the scam artist he has been all his life. He did it in his first term, and now more of the same only flashier and a dumber supporting cast of idiots generating flashy headlines. They love to spike the football at the fifty yard line and claim that they scored a touchdown.

Summer is coming and President Trump has just announced that children may now pay the ice cream truck man in tariffs.

If the “no tax on tips” comes to fruition, I know lots of pricing models that will be changing

Taxes absolutely take money from people.
This is not news.

Taxes are necessary, however. I would even argue they are great, but that is a different discussion

Ugh. There's already way too much tipping.

Trump never thinks out the long term consequences of his false promises. He is a con man and a dolt combined into one big fat asshole.
