    I just want your honest opinion on this one question.
    I believe you mean only $750 at the time he submits his return. Those whose income in not from Wages, salaries, tip, interest, dividends and other sources where a W2 or 1099 is issued file quarterly estimated taxes. Usually paying millions over the course of the year.

        No, if you have been following this thread today you would know that it is entirely about corporations. You are the one who changed the subject. Get with the program or get the fuck out.

          They raise prices and/or layoff workers to cover the increased taxes they have to pay, plus a little to increase their profit margin.

            Oh you mean that they ship jobs to to countries that use what is pretty much slave labor.

                    The Republicans controlled both the house and Senate and passed the 2 Trillion tax giveaway for the RICH in 2017.

                    Google it I'll WAIT
                    The Republicans passed a tax update plan that put money back in the pockets of everyone who paid taxes. It brought back manufacturing jobs that that would have increased government revenue far beyond the amount of the tax cuts had the Democrats not reversed the cut as soon as they took control in January of 2019 and killed all those jobs.

                      These guys will try and pull your soul out. They have this sadistic nature in them to tease and poke at everything around them.
                      Nothing but a good old beating to a pulp will work on them. Its a massive lack of respect.
                      Whatever

                        are you off your medication today?

                        The economy tanked due to Covid19 and the MORON response.

                        Google I'll WAIT

                        Apparently you need to read the Constitution it takes both houses to make a change in the tax giveaway.

                          Apparently the Republicans Love to Spend Tax Payers Dollars.
                          "Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion

                            The Bureau of Ocean Management (BOEM) will review two proposals for wind-energy projects off the coast of New Jersey, the Interior Department announced Tuesday.

                            Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind LLC submitted the proposals, both of which would be located about 9 miles offshore. The first is projected to have a capacity of 1,510 megawatts. A 30-day comment period will begin once the notice of intent for the projects' Environmental Impact Statements are published in the Federal Register Thursday.

                            "The Interior Department is moving rapidly to develop a clean energy future with good-paying union jobs. Offshore wind holds enormous potential for our nation, and the wind resources offshore New Jersey are no exception," Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement Tuesday. "As we kick off this process, the Department will continue to do our part to ensure the development of our offshore renewable energy resources is done responsibly and sustainably."

                            The announcement comes just under two months after the BOEM announced a separate review of a project that, upon approval, would be the first off the coast of North Carolina. The project, submitted by Kitty Hawk Wind LLC, would comprise up to 69 turbine generators.



                            New Jersey has set a goal of 7.5 gigawatts of offshore wind power generation by 2035, while the Biden administration has established its own target of 30 gigawatts by 2030. The White House has set a broader goal of reducing carbon emissions 45 percent by the same year.

                            Meanwhile, the administration has also sought to incentivize renewable energy through proposals such as a Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP), which would create financial incentives for electric utilities that transition to renewable sources.

                                You're a follower. Plain and simple. I told you that you can't handle the truth. Stay on the front porch..it's not safe for you out here in the real world. Chump.


                                The Census Bureau just released stunning statistics about the economic well-being of Americans in 2019. Minority groups benefited greatly from the remarkable labor market under Trump that preceded the coronavirus epidemic.

                                Unemployment rates for Blacks hovered for months at or near historic lows. Workers with less than a high school diploma and criminal records left the sidelines of the workforce.
                                Before the coronavirus, the labor force participation rates of Blacks, prime-age workers 25 to 54, and women ticked up from Obama-era lows. Even years into the Obama economic recovery, these workers were still leaving the labor force.


                                Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.
