    You really don't understand taxes do you? Businesses can get tax refunds too. For example, Trump got a refund of over $70 million.

    When poor people get a refund it's a free rider but when rich people get a refund ..... you reward them with your vote?

    Why the double standard? Which is it, people that get a refund should shut up? Or are you giving rich people a pass because you think better of them?

    I guess Hanlon's razor applies here.

      Don't try to change the subject. We're talking about you. Stay on topic. You're the a-hole crying about others paying their fair share when you got a tax refund for almost your entire life.

      Pay your fair share or STFU.

      When you pay your fair share, maybe you'll have a leg to stand on.

          Little Billy REALLY doesn't know how taxes work. In his world if someone gets a refund he believes they didn't pay any taxes. Lol
          You really need a better accountant dude. Or, maybe a little research into how taxes work.

            Oh, I know how it works. Most likely he's talking about earned income credit. Low income workers get a tax break because they're poor and didn't earn much money. In other words, they paid nothing or very little after all was said and done.


            PS - You don't even work.

              Here are some actual numbers:
              Reagan 1.694T
              Obama 9.548T
              Trump 8.175T 5.029T of which was due to the COVID shutdown of the economy

              U.S. National Debt by Year

              Your testimony has been impeached as a witness. That means the jury can look at everything you say as being questionable or another out right lie.
              Did you really mean to say a tax cut results in an increase of tax revenue? Tax cuts result in a budget deficit or an increase in borrowing. Maybe you meant to say it resulted in the largest increases in wealth for rich people? Reagans cuts didn't outgrow the economy so trickle down was a failure.

              Anyway, the original assertion was Republicans are for lowering the deficit. Which isn't the case. You conveniently left out:

              President Bush added $5.85 trillion

              Why would you do that? We'll have to treat everything you say as questionable.

                Look, as republicans or conservatives, we need to be truthful. Our side has run up huge deficits and added to the national debt. Our hands are not clean.

                But I'll be damn if I'm gonna be another liberal and not give a damn. The bill will come due one day and we'll be fucked.

                I always wonder if the dumbass liberals run their fianaces the way our governemt does. They probably all have bad credit. lol

                  I can't wait to see what happens when he finds out about the many, many businesses that pay effectively 0 tax. Think he'll double down on the idea only people who pay have the right to an opinion?

                  Double standards really are the hallmark of conservatives.

                    Yeah, you don't want to talk about paying your fair share. Typical, typical, typical. You blame the rich because you didn't amount to shit in your life.

                    Stop worrying about the rich and get out in the world and be somebody.

                      You're sending mixed messages:

                      "But I'll be damn if I'm gonna be another liberal and not give a damn"

                      So I give a damn about rich people ruining this country and now you tell me to stop worrying about it?

                      If just a couple billionaires paid their fair share we wouldn't have to worry about the bill coming due.

                          Can We Fix the Debt Solely by Taxing the Top 1 Percent?


                          A popular suggestion is that raising taxes only on high earners (for example, the top one percent – households that make above roughly $435,000 annually) would fix the debt problem. Although revenue from high earners could contribute to the solution, it is unlikely to be enough to fully solve our debt problems. This is particularly true if efforts to raise income from high earners come primarily from raising individual income tax rates.



                          To provide a generous estimate of the revenue that can be raised by increasing tax rates on higher earners, we extrapolated estimates for a 1 percentage point tax increase provided by the Congressional Budget Office. These numbers will significantly overstate the revenue potential of raising rates since they do not account for the large behavioral effects likely to occur as the top tax rises.


                          By our math, achieving a balanced budget by 2025 by raising the top two rates – those which only apply to income significantly above $400,000 – would require increasing the top individual tax rate from 39.6 percent to about 102 percent. This is an obvious impossibility, since few taxpayers would continue to work at a 100 percent tax rate.

                              Are you suggesting that because the debt issue can't be completely solved by taking this one step that we should simply give up? That's the spirit Little Billy. No wonder you haven't amounted to anything.
                              Of course taking one step won't completely solve the debt issue. That doesn't mean one doesn't take that one step.
