President Biden calls for crackdown on wealthy who hide bulk of income from tax


Key Points

• The tax gap is estimated to be about $7 trillion over the next decade, according to a Treasury Department report issued Thursday.
• Around 80% of the gap is from underreported income, largely from “opaque” income sources like proprietorships and partnerships among the wealthy, Treasury said.
• President Joe Biden wants to increase tax compliance on the rich to raise revenue for his American Families Plan.

President Joe Biden is calling for a crackdown on rich taxpayers who avoid tax by hiding a big chunk of their income from the IRS.
Tax compliance is among the many ways Biden is seeking to raise tax revenue from households earning more than $400,000 a year to fund the American Families Plan. The legislation would boost spending for initiatives like expanded education, childcare and paid leave.

Underreported income, largely among the wealthy, is the biggest contributor to the so-called “tax gap,” according to a Treasury Department report issued Thursday.

Around 80% of the tax gap comes from underreported income — much of which is due to “opaque income sources that accrue disproportionately to higher earners,” the Treasury said.

It identifies certain non-labor income — from businesses like partnerships and proprietorships as well as rental income, for example. In such categories, individuals underreport roughly 55% of their income, according to the Department.

That means more than half their income, on average, isn’t being taxed.

“We don’t know the extent to which it’s intentional or unintentional. But it is high,” Janet Holtzblatt, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, said.

That share is much higher than with other income sources. Employees who earn a salary or wages misreport about 1% of their income, for example.

.... remind you of one ex President? Probably one of the biggest tax cheats in American history about to face multiple civil and criminal charges from NY state.

ok then by your logic you have no right to tell me/us about how we respond to corona... AND you aren't even from the USA but you try to tell me how i should behave during this fake demdemic 98.7% recovery rate... those that died had under lying problems.

it's my body it's my right

abortions kill (murder) a human life ... murder in the USA is against the law... in the bible it say's 'thou shall not kill' and we are to 'protect the little children'

but as long as it you liberals wanting it it's ok.

just like the House has now voted to give aid to Hamas... the real killers/terrorists in the middle east.. but we the tax payers have no say on how our TAX dollars are spent... even if we don't agree who gets it ( talk about pushing your personal value on others. )

what was the original estimates of the death toll for covid 2million + so 560k is about 1/4 of the projected deaths. Biden has added 60k since he took office, and he claims it was ALL HIS doing for rolling out the vaccines.. when in fact Trump got the ball rolling Dec 20 2020 in FACT Joe and the HO said they'd NEVER take the Trump vaccine. BUT they did.... as did the majority of Congress and SCOTUS. @AOC jumped the line according to her age for the shot. She was one of the first in the house to receive it. EVEN BEFORE 1st responders and healthcare workers.

I never did even when my 2nd wife got an abortion (unbeknownst to me) all I stated that abortions are MURDER .... I do how ever agree under certain times an abortion is warranted... ie: rape... downs... heart problems that will limit quality of life for the child. Now liberals want to have the baby aborted AFTER BIRTH! If that isn't murder I don't know what is.

Many Many abortions are being used as BIRTH CONTROL. I know I've seen it in action.

but here again you are a Canadian and really have no say what goes on in our country .. I don't tell treaudont how to run his cuntry.

but you liberals always think you have a right to tell others how to live. ie: Biden demanding that BEBE stop the Iron Dome defense system. Hamas started the bombing of CIVILIAN areas of Jerusalem... while Hamas was hiding behind women - children and 'reporters'. Biden isn't the 'moderate dem' he portrays himself to be he is as radical as the members of ' the squad '. and socialism has no place in a constitutional republic.

which is something else you don't understand because Canada doesn't have a CONSTITUTION.

GOP Rep Introduces Bill to Crack Down on Kamala Harris' Refusal to Visit the Border


Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa introduced a bill Thursday to block Vice President Kamala Harris from using taxpayer money to fund her travel expenses until Harris addresses the current immigration crisis at the southern border by going there and issuing a report.
“We have an absolute crisis at the border, and Vice President Harris was appointed to lead the administration’s efforts on the border crisis, but it’s been 56 days, and in that time she hasn’t been to the border once,” Hinson told Fox News on Wednesday.
“She hasn’t held a news conference on the administration’s efforts for a plan, and I think it’s time she does that.”

“It’s unacceptable that after nearly two months as the Administration’s so-called point person on the border crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris still hasn’t visited the Southern Border and heard directly from the brave law enforcement officers about what they are facing on the ground,” Hinson said in a news release. “As illegal immigration has surged, cartels are emboldened, and record levels of fentanyl are pouring into our country, this crisis continues to be out of sight and out of mind for this Administration.
“This bill will stop Vice President Harris from traveling internationally on the taxpayers’ dime until she visits the Southern Border and reports to the American people on the steps the Administration is taking to address this crisis.”

The U.S.-Mexico border is seeing an unprecedented surge in illegal aliens trying to make their way across from Mexico into the United States.
Countless people, including Mexico’s President , have criticized the Biden-Harris administration for aggravating the situation through its action and inaction.

Despite there being a crisis for more than four months now, neither President Joe Biden nor Harris has gone to the border to get a first-hand look at the problem.
Biden appointed Harris to work on solving the border crisis in March.

Critics have accused Harris of being “missing” at the border and taking trips to “bakeries in Chicago and elsewhere” instead of going to where the crisis she is supposed to solve is occurring.
So far, Harris has met virtually with leaders in Mexico and Guatemala and plans on visiting the countries in June, Fox News reported.
“She’s putting yarn shops and bakeries before the border,” Hinson said to Fox News.

“She’s Zoomed with the Mexican president, but I think that sends the absolute wrong message to the men and women that are putting their lives on the line every day, not to mention the men and women and families that live in these communities along the border and the communities of Iowa — every state is a border state.”
The bill Hinson introduced Thursday intends to force Harris to do what she has failed to do since the beginning of the crisis — a crisis the Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly downplayed.
The See the Crisis Act seeks to bar Harris from using federal funds to pay for her travel expenses, including the use of Air Force Two and security details for travel abroad, until she goes to the border to “review the activities of the Department of Homeland Security and other Federal agencies responsible for enforcing and implementing immigration laws” and submits a report to Congress.

The report would need to include a “detailed” list of federal agencies and local supporting law enforcement officials that Harris meets with near the border, as well as any plans she has to visit the border again after its submission.
Harris’ report would also need to state the estimated amount of money Harris or any other government agency plans to dole out to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as part of an international aid package intended to address the humanitarian crisis.

funny thing is you never notice when I quote CNN - NYT ..just proves what a bigot you are are.. just like most socialists you pick n choose what amendments you want to follow.

as for my blame everything on biden... you did the same damn thing for FOUR YEARS with Trump and alot of it has been debunked... proving CNN/MSNBC/NYT lied to y'all but you still swear by their reporting .....

"Birth Control or Race Control? Sanger and the Negro Project"




The Negro Project, instigated in 1939 by Margaret Sanger, was one of the first major undertakings of the new Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA), the product of a merger between the American Birth Control League and Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau, and one of the more controversial campaigns of the birth control movement. Developed by white birth control reformers, who consulted with African-Americans for help in promoting the project only well after its inception, the Negro Project and associated campaigns were, nevertheless, widely supported by such black leaders as Mary McLeod Bethune, W. E. B. DuBois, and Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Influenced strongly by both the eugenics movement and the progressive welfare programs of the New Deal era, the Negro Project was, from the start, largely indifferent to the needs of the black community and constructed in terms and with perceptions that today smack of racism.


What it became was not the project Sanger had first envisioned. As she wrote in an initial fund-raising request to Albert Lasker, the wealthy advertising executive just beginning his post-business career in medical philanthropy, she simply hoped to help "a group notoriously underprivileged and handicapped to a large measure by a ‘caste' system that operates as an added weight upon their efforts to get a fair share of the better things in life. To give them the means of helping themselves is perhaps the richest gift of all. We believe birth control knowledge brought to this group, is the most direct, constructive aid that can be given them to improve their immediate situation." Sanger viewed the Negro Project as another effort to help African-Americans gain better access to safe contraception and maintain birth control services in their community as she had attempted to do in Harlem a decade earlier when Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (BCCRB), in cooperation with the New York Urban League, opened a birth control clinic there. (MS to Lasker, July 10, 1939, Mary Lasker Papers, Columbia University (to be microfilmed in a later addendum to the MSM)


By the late 1930s, the birth control activists began to focus on high birth rates and poor quality of life in the South, alerted to alarming Southern poverty by a 1938 U.S. National Resource Committee report which asserted that Southern poverty drained resources from other parts of the country. Starting in the mid-1930s, Sanger sent field workers into the rural South to establish birth control services in poor communities and conduct research. She sought to test various contraceptive jellies and foam powders to see if they could effectively be used without a diaphragm, which would be cheaper and easier for poor women to use. Physician and philanthropist Clarence Gamble (1894-1966), who was on a quest to find the best birth control for the "uneducated masses," funded and supervised several of these rural Southern projects. The birth control movement also looked to Southern states as the ideal region in which to secure funding under New Deal legislation and to establish birth control services as part of state and federal public health programs. These birth control initiatives were designed, in part, to demonstrate to government bureaucrats on the county, state and federal levels that contraceptive clinics were essential in impoverished Southern communities and could be successfully duplicated in other regions.


In 1937, North Carolina became the first state to incorporate birth control services into a statewide public health program, followed by six other southern states. However, these successes were clouded by the failure of birth controllers to overcome segregated health services and improve African-Americans' access to contraceptives. Hazel Moore, a veteran lobbyist and health administrator, ran a birth control project under Sanger's direction and found that black women in several Virginia counties were very responsive to birth control education. A 1938 trip to Tennessee further convinced Sanger of the desire of African-Americans in that region to control their fertility and the need for specific programs in birth control education aimed at the black community. (Hazel Moore, "Birth Control for the Negro," 1937, Sophia Smith Collection, Florence Rose Papers.)


In 1939 Sanger teamed with Mary Woodward Reinhardt, secretary of the newly formed BCFA, to secure a large donor to fund an educational campaign to teach African-American women in the South about contraception. Sanger, Reinhardt and Sanger's secretary, Florence Rose, drafted a report on "Birth Control and the Negro," skillfully using language that appealed both to eugenicists fearful of unchecked black fertility and progressives committed to shepherding African-Americans into middle-class culture. The report stated that "[N]egroes present the great problem of the South," as they are the group with "the greatest economic, health and social problems," and outlined a practical birth control program geared toward a population characterized as largely illiterate and that "still breed carelessly and disastrously," a line borrowed from a June 1932 Birth Control Review article by W.E.B. DuBois. Armed with this paper, Reinhardt initiated contact between Sanger and Albert Lasker (soon to be Reinhardt's husband), who pledged $20,000 starting in Nov. 1939. ("Birth Control and the Negro," July 1939, Lasker Papers)


However, once funding was secured, the project slipped from Sanger's hands. She had proposed that the money go to train "an up and doing modern minister, colored, and an up and doing modern colored medical man" at her New York clinic who would then tour "as many Southern cities and organizations and churches and medical societies as they can get before" and "preach and preach and preach!" She believed that after a year of such "educational agitation" the Federation could support a "practical campaign for supplying mothers with contraceptives." Before going in and establishing clinics, Sanger thought it critical to gain the support and involvement of the African-American community (not just its leaders) and establish a foundation of trust. Her proposal derived from the work of activists in the field, discussions with black leaders and her experience with the New York clinics. Sanger understood the concerns of some within the black community about having Northern whites intervene in the most intimate aspect of their lives. "I do not believe" she warned, "that this project should be directed or run by white medical men. The Federation should direct it with the guidance and assistance of the colored group – perhaps, particularly and specifically formed for the purpose." To succeed, she wrote, "It takes a very strong heart and an individual well entrenched in the community. . . ." (MS to Gamble, Nov. 26, 1939, and MS to Robert Seibels, Feb. 12, 1940 [MSM S17:514, 891].)


Sanger reiterated the need for black ministers to head up the project in a letter to Clarence Gamble in Dec. 1939, arguing that: "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." This passage has been repeatedly extracted by Sanger's detractors as evidence that she led a calculated effort to reduce the black population against their will. From African-American activist Angela Davis on the left to conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza on the right, this statement alone has condemned Sanger to a perpetual waltz with Hitler and the KKK. Davis quoted the incendiary passage in her 1983 Women, Race and Class, claiming that the Negro Project "confirmed the ideological victory of the racism associated with eugenic ideas." D'Souza used the quote to buttress erroneous claims that Sanger called blacks "human weeds" and a "menace to civilization" in his best-selling 1995 book The End of Racism. The argument that Sanger co-opted black clergy and community leaders to exterminate their own race not only gives Sanger unwarranted credit as a remarkably cunning manipulator, but also suggests that African-Americans were passive receptors of birth control reform, incapable of making their own decisions about family size; and that black leaders were ignorant and gullible.
