Labour have declared war on our farmers, and this rotten Government is seeking to wipe out family farms with its ill-thought-through reforms to inheritance tax as outlined at the recent Budget. Conservatives know the value of our farmers, and that food security is national security, so if you want to support our farmers sign our petition or join myself, Conservative colleagues and farmers from across Essex and the UK on the 19th November in Westminster. Let’s show Starmer we care about our farmers! Visit:

"Vote wisely. Remember, NRM is the government in power. Therefore, you need a member of the NRM party to be able to monitor government poverty eradication programmes like PDM and Emyooga. When voting for the LC I and LC II chairpersons, as well as Women Council representatives, do not vote for anyone who doesn't belong to the NRM Party . How do the people of Busia, who share a border with Kenya, benefit from East African integration? Our people do not know our tax policy. You find someone carrying tomatoes worth Shs 50,000 being harassed or having their merchandise confiscated by tax officials. This is why we need these border engagements. Our people are ignorant of the tax policy and how they benefit from these taxes," — Barbara Nekesa Oundo, NRM Party Treasurer, addressing a gathering at Masafu playground in Busia District on June 29, 2026. #MonitorUpdates 📹David Awori

Minnesota House Republicans have proven over the last two years that when we've had a seat at the table -- when the Democrats no longer had full control of government -- we get good things done for Minnesota. That includes: fighting fraud, reducing our budget by $5 billion, repealing free healthcare for illegal immigrants, stopping Democrats' slew of new tax increase proposals and woke government overreach, providing property tax relief, car tab fee reductions and more. That's with just a 67-67 tie in the state house. We know the path to making Minnesota more affordable, ending the culture fraud and entering a new era of stewardship over Minnesotans' tax dollars is in front of us. This November, voters have the oppprtunity to put the Democrat era of fraud, waste, high taxes and radical ideology behind us.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐚𝐱 I enjoyed granting this interview in Kenya with Julians Amboko, a brilliant financial journalist at Nation Media Group - the largest independent media organisation in East and Central Africa. Africa must remove disincentives to investment and barriers to growth, and revenue will follow. It’s time to rethink our revenue mobilisation strategy, including adopting a supportive rather than extractive approach toward the informal sector. • reduce withholding tax rates so businesses have cash for expansion • eliminate minimum tax - it's often a payment out of capital • exempt low income earners and smallest businesses - a nation can not become rich by taxing poverty. The economy of collection isn’t just about administrative efficiency or cost-to-revenue ratio. It’s also about the opportunity cost to the taxpayer. What did the payer give up by paying the tax? If we tax the seed in the hands of taxpayers today, we might boost short-term revenue, but we undermine long-term wealth creation and lose the opportunity to tax the fruits tomorrow. #SharingKnowledge #TheAfricaWeWant #RethinkingTaxPolicy

Yesterday I was opportune to be part of a Town Hall event organised by Channels Television anchored by SeunOkin Channels tv to discuss the Tax Reform Bills currently before the national assembly. The bills have seen significant opposition coming from some northern leaders and the NGF, especially on the issue of VAT revenue sharing among the states with many calling for the bills to be withdrawn by the President on account of this singular issue. Personally, I feel that part of the opposition from the bills stems from ignorance of the actual provisions contained in them or misconception of some aspects of the bill. However, when we look at the amount of VAT revenue that is triggering this whole haggling, you'll realise how precarious our revenue situation is. A dispassionate look at the data is essential to guide our positions on the necessity of these tax reforms. By the end of 2024, we may hit a record VAT collection of N6 trillion but that's just around $3.5 billion. In many states, their share of VAT revenue from FAAC in a year is bigger than their entire IGR! How on earth do you develop with such a revenue profile? This shows clearly that we need to reorganise and re-engineer our finances for optimum performance. This is what these bills seek to do. Although, increasing revenue collection is actually one of the intentions of these reforms but it is not the MAJOR reason. The major aim is to remove all the cogs and bottlenecks that affect growth and profitability of businesses in Nigeria by reducing their tax burden and exempting the small businesses from paying income tax. The vast majority of Nigerians who are poor would also be exempt from paying income tax. We're talking about 90% of Nigerians here! In other climes, any piece of legislation that brings overall tax relief to low income earners is always a popular bill with massive support. It is therefore bizarre that some persons are up in arms in Nigeria to oppose this kind of landmark legislation and they claim they're fighting for the masses. Data and logic should guide our positions and not sentiments or mischievous ignorance. Any reservations held by any individual or group about any section of the bills should be presented to the NASS during the public hearings and not calling for the withdrawal of the bills. Let's be serious in this country please.

This snippet was worth reposting as we are getting closer to the stage of the year where our Gov lets us keep a few more pennies Don’t you feel grateful? Listening to Gad Saad break down Canadian taxes… aren’t you just excited to be Canadian?? From January 1st until the end of August, you work for free for the government. Only starting in September do you finally get to keep what you actually earned. Provincial tax capped at 25.75%. Federal tax at 33%. Already deep into the 50s before you even spend a dollar. Then add the double sales tax, carbon tax, gas tax, property tax, and school tax — and you’re left with roughly 30 cents on every dollar you make. This isn’t “contributing to society.” This is modern serfdom dressed up as compassion. The same government that wastes billions on ArrivScam, failed apps, and fax machine replacement programs now expects you to hand over eight months of your life every single year. And they still have the nerve to tell you there’s no money left for actual Canadians. Wake up. This didn’t happen by accident. #cdnpoli #TaxFreedomDay #LiberalFail #CanadaFirst

#WATCH | Chandigarh: On GST collection, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema says, "GST was implemented nationwide in 2017 under the 'One Nation, One Tax' principle. For the past five years, from 2017 to 2022, the Congress party was in power, and in those five years, they collected Rs 112,000 crore in revenue. But our government, in just three and a half years, has already collected over Rs 116,000 crore in revenue. This means our annual revenue has never fallen below 11%. We are consistently growing at a rate of over 11%, while at the national level, the growth rate is 7%. Since our AAP government came to power in Punjab in 2022, we have worked with complete honesty. We established a Tax Intelligence Unit. We collaborated with IIT Hyderabad, purchased nine modules from them, and implemented them in the department. We did many things in the department, which led to an increase in our GST revenue. We introduced a new scheme, "Bring the Bill, Get a Reward," to encourage people to get and keep their bills. If we talk about excise, our revenue has been consistently increasing by over 10% for the last three years..."

Taxes draining your income? Read this. Last year we bought a property in Myrtle Beach, SC for $1.6M. We converted a duplex into a single luxury vacation home — movie theater, golf simulator, game room, pool, hot tub, sauna, and custom outdoor bar. Then we did a cost segregation study. Here's what happened: ➡️ We paid for a cost segregation study which analyzed the property down to every fixture and piece of furniture ➡️ They found $955,716 in depreciable assets ➡️ We used 100% bonus depreciation to write it all off in year one ✅ Result: $955K deduction = $400,000+ in actual tax savings. And the property didn't stop there ⬇️ It now generates $350,000+/year in revenue and cash flows $10,000–$20,000/month. We used the tax savings to fund our next acquisition. This is exactly how the wealthy build wealth. With bonus depreciation at 100%, this strategy has never been more powerful for a short term rental owner. Comment "TAX" and I'll send you a free breakdown of exactly how you can do this — with action steps.

During a recent podcast with Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil, some disturbing details emerged about the crisis at our southern border. Phil had the chance to have a discussion with Brandon Judd who is the President of The National Border Patrol. During this talk a couple of disturbing details emerged: - When Biden took office, they immediately did away with Rapid DNA testing to verify familial relations between children and adults. - Children arrive at our southern border with specific address(es) written on their bodies. No verification of who's at those addresses is done. Judd: " There's a very good possibility that they're being trafficked .... that they're going into s*x industry or they're being forced into sweatshops." Phil: "We knowingly are spending our tax dollars to sell children..... How, under any theory, is that okay for us to be spending tax dollars to traffick children? According to a March 2023 report by the Council on Foreign Relations think tank, it was stated that more than 152,000 unaccompanied minors were found at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022, an all-time high, separated from friends or family. Now keep in mind that there are at least 85,000 of those children that have gone missing. Why are our tax dollars being used to facilitate such atrocities? When does the madness end?

Introducing the next evolution of the SANWEAR lineup. Beginning with HARDWIRE. The wired earbud: simple, affordable, no nonsense. And it’s coming back. People are going back to wired because they’re sick of Bluetooth, sick of charging, and at the end of the day, wired just sounds better. Add the customizability offered through external DAC/AMPs and the complete lack of latency and the appeal is obvious. That’s why we’re introducing our wired series, starting with SANWEAR-HARDWIRE, our USB-C IEM for gaming and everyday use. With SANWEAR-HARDWIRE, we’re keeping the efficiency, convenience, and quality of the classic wired earbud, but also introducing what we’re calling the Audio Cortex — the beating heart and mind of our wired system. This first-of-its-kind feature seamlessly integrates an amplifier, lossless digital-to-analog converter (DAC), digital signal processor (DSP), Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) microphone, and programmable action button into a single elegant unit. In addition, SANWEAR-HARDWIRE introduces SAN’s next-generation Planar-Dynamic Driver, the culmination of ten years of R&D — blending the precision of planar magnetics with the raw power of a dynamic driver. It’s Wired, Rewired. This is the new baseline.

“Netflix posted $1.47 billion in revenue in Australia in 2025, $1.35 billion of which was sent overseas as “distribution fees” to its parent entities. After its offshore fees, Netflix Australia had $119 million in revenue and $20 million in profit. It paid $16 million in income tax and paid a dividend of $41 million. This allows them to transfer vast amounts of money abroad, very little of which is taxable in Australia. Netflix had an effective local profit margin of 1.4 per cent of its total Australian revenue. “A distribution fee is paid by the company under this agreement, and the operating margin retained by the company is an arm’s length return in accordance with the Netflix Group’s transfer pricing policy,” the accounts say. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Netflix.” •••••••••••••• Globalists often talk about tariffs and how bad they are for free trade, but you rarely hear them complain about reverse tariffs whereby multinational companies can send profits offshore at tax rates much lower than onshore tax rates. Netflix has a local operating profit margin of 1.4% while their worldwide operating profit (see accounts in comments) was 28%. Multinationals get away with shifting so much money offshore because of our tax treaties allow them by setting withholding tax rates well below the onshore company tax rate. For example the withholding tax on royalties paid to the U.S. is just 5%. (See link below) Netflix can save 25% in every dollar it transfers offshore. So 25 cents on $1.35 billion transferred offshore is $338 million in lost company tax to Australia. To be fair to Netflix, some of the fees paid offshore should be offset by production costs but not at rate of 98.6% in the dollar. I.e 1.4% margin. is the only party that understands transfer pricing. We will apply a 25% withholding tax on all offshore payments that exceed the operating profit ratio of its worldwide entity.

I’ve Been Holding Onto This Video & Now That Donald Trump Suggested Eliminating The Income Tax & Replacing It With Tariffs You Should Watch This “I don't think people understand the depth in which the federal income tax has screwed the American people because the income tax didn't exist for the first 137 years America was a country. It was implemented in 1913 and shortly after that, the income tax would become the government's primary source of generating revenue. The government would basically own your labor. So you’re taxed at 33%. 1/3 of your work for the entire year belongs to the government. But before the federal income tax, tariffs were the government's primary source of generating revenue. So the government would come along and say, if companies want to import goods from other countries, they have to pay a tax on those goods. And this was the government's primary way of generating revenue. So let's use Nike as an example. They want to outsource their labor to other countries, India, China, and basically hire people that work for under $1 a day, basically sweatshops. They want sweatshops. Well, when they go to import those goods into the United States of America, they would be forced to pay that tariff. So if it's 25%, they would have to pay a 25% tax on the value of the goods coming into the country. Now, they could either pay that themselves in which now the government's primary way of generating revenue is through these international corporations that want to outsource labor and do international business, or they could negotiate with the company that they're importing from. I mean, in this case, it's themselves, but if they're working with another company, they could say, hey, if you want us to keep manufacturing in China, if you want us to keep manufacturing in India, you have to help us with these tariffs. And now the government's primary way of generating revenue would not be by taking money from you, the federal income tax, but it's from charging those international corporations and corporations that are in other countries. Isn't that a lot better than them taking the money from me and you? And yes, the price of international goods might go up. In fact, price of goods will go up. But that's okay because there's also an additional incentive for companies like Nike and all companies now to manufacture goods in America, which means American manufacturing would boom. And this is in theory, this is what had actually happened and what the federal income tax really took away from us because from the period of 1860 to 1900, America had emerged as the preeminent manufacturing country in the world. American steel, American oil, Europeans would come to America and they couldn't believe that we had electric powered curling irons. The United States of America, our country had become the innovative center of the world and jobs were booming. People talk about 1910 1920 1930 with the unions with Detroit and Detroit being the manufacturing center of the world, but that was really all of the United States of America. But once the federal income tax was passed, once that was established, the government no longer needed tariffs to be its primary source of revenue. Now the primary source of revenue was reaching directly into our pockets. And once the government was able to do that, they were able to seriously consider abandoning economic protectionism, abandoning those tariffs so that international corporations could outsource our jobs to other countries and the government wouldn't be hurt. The cost of goods would go down and the international corporations would do better than ever. But we would lose our jobs and the government would take ownership over our labor. And that was the real cost of the federal income tax. ‌ And that's the conversation they don't want Americans having” I can’t transcribe it all due to X’s text limits but this is an excellent listen

I’ve Been Holding Onto This Video & Now That Donald Trump Suggested Eliminating The Income Tax & Replacing It With Tariffs You Should Watch This “I don't think people understand the depth in which the federal income tax has screwed the American people because the income tax didn't exist for the first 137 years America was a country. It was implemented in 1913 and shortly after that, the income tax would become the government's primary source of generating revenue. The government would basically own your labor. So you’re taxed at 33%. 1/3 of your work for the entire year belongs to the government. But before the federal income tax, tariffs were the government's primary source of generating revenue. So the government would come along and say, if companies want to import goods from other countries, they have to pay a tax on those goods. And this was the government's primary way of generating revenue. So let's use Nike as an example. They want to outsource their labor to other countries, India, China, and basically hire people that work for under $1 a day, basically sweatshops. They want sweatshops. Well, when they go to import those goods into the United States of America, they would be forced to pay that tariff. So if it's 25%, they would have to pay a 25% tax on the value of the goods coming into the country. Now, they could either pay that themselves in which now the government's primary way of generating revenue is through these international corporations that want to outsource labor and do international business, or they could negotiate with the company that they're importing from. I mean, in this case, it's themselves, but if they're working with another company, they could say, hey, if you want us to keep manufacturing in China, if you want us to keep manufacturing in India, you have to help us with these tariffs. And now the government's primary way of generating revenue would not be by taking money from you, the federal income tax, but it's from charging those international corporations and corporations that are in other countries. Isn't that a lot better than them taking the money from me and you? And yes, the price of international goods might go up. In fact, price of goods will go up. But that's okay because there's also an additional incentive for companies like Nike and all companies now to manufacture goods in America, which means American manufacturing would boom. And this is in theory, this is what had actually happened and what the federal income tax really took away from us because from the period of 1860 to 1900, America had emerged as the preeminent manufacturing country in the world. American steel, American oil, Europeans would come to America and they couldn't believe that we had electric powered curling irons. The United States of America, our country had become the innovative center of the world and jobs were booming. People talk about 1910 1920 1930 with the unions with Detroit and Detroit being the manufacturing center of the world, but that was really all of the United States of America. But once the federal income tax was passed, once that was established, the government no longer needed tariffs to be its primary source of revenue. Now the primary source of revenue was reaching directly into our pockets. And once the government was able to do that, they were able to seriously consider abandoning economic protectionism, abandoning those tariffs so that international corporations could outsource our jobs to other countries and the government wouldn't be hurt. The cost of goods would go down and the international corporations would do better than ever. But we would lose our jobs and the government would take ownership over our labor.

🚨 TIME TO SHUT DOWN CAIR – THE TAX-EXEMPT THREAT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT While brave ICE agents put their lives on the line every day to enforce our borders and protect American communities, CAIR continues to operate as a federally tax-exempt 501(c)(3) while openly celebrating and training activists to harass, obstruct, and "chase away" federal officers. At a recent CAIR-hosted event in Washington, D.C., speakers - including CAIR affiliates - projected videos of real-life confrontations with ICE agents. One activist was shown approaching officers, shouting demands for warrants, shaming them, and instructing immigrants to barricade doors and stay hidden. On stage, she proudly boasted of successfully "chasing ICE away seven times" in her area, framing it as a winning strategy that works when communities mobilize. This wasn't isolated activism - it was a blueprint: Teach emotional agitation to rile up crowds, create hostile mobs, and interfere directly with federal operations. All broadcast from a tax-exempt stage, giving it legitimacy and IRS-protected funding. Add this to CAIR's documented history:FBI wiretaps linked its founders to a Hamas-support network. Named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case—the largest terrorism financing prosecution in U.S. history—where prosecutors tied it to the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts to fund and shield Hamas. Multiple states (like Texas and Florida) have designated or denounced CAIR as tied to foreign terrorist entities. Now, in 2026, momentum is building: House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith has formally referred CAIR-California to the IRS for investigation into potential misuse of taxpayer funds, misleading disclosures, and activities inconsistent with tax-exempt rules - including support for disruptive actions. Why is the federal government still tolerating this? A group with these ties platforms interference with federal agents, enjoys tax breaks, and faces no real consequences? Revoke CAIR's tax-exempt status NOW. Launch full investigations into their network. Designate and ban them as the security threat they represent. Our ICE officers deserve protection - not organized hostility funded by American taxpayers. Demand action from Congress and the IRS today!

💪🏼 TRUMP HAS THE RECEIPTS and he’s LOCKED and LOADED!! 🚨 UKRAINE WAS LAUNDERING AMERICAN TAX PAYER MONEY INTO BIDEN’S 2024 CAMPAIGN TO COUP AMERICA! JOHN SOLOMON: Intercepted intel confirms they were plotting to BUY THE ELECTION and keep the grift rolling. 2024 was their last desperate swing at overthrowing us from Kiev. They didn’t just STEAL 2020. They tried to BUY 2024 with our own money. A country dwarfed by America in every metric acting like they own us. WHERE DOES THIS ARROGANCE COME FROM? 🤔

Massie: I’m walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history. It’s turned into a referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. By the time this is over, they will probably have spent $20 million and come up short. I’ve never seen Great Britain, Australia, or even Germany play in our elections here in the United States. But Israel gets so much from the United States. It’s a one-sided relationship. They get us to be their proxies in wars they want against their enemies. They get our military assistance. They get our technology. They get our bombs. They get our tax dollars. And I think it’s a very one-sided relationship. At least with NATO, we pretend that they would come to our aid someday if we needed it—and even that’s a ruse.

David Friedberg: California’s “Billionaire Tax” is a Trojan Horse to Go After the Middle Class's Private Assets david friedberg: “The reason they're calling it a billionaire tax is to make it easier for people to vote for it, and sign up to this entirely new tax system that they're proposing to put on all Americans at some point, and for the first time ever degrading our private property rights.” “Forget about how much wealth you have, forget about how rich you are, forget about the term billionaire, millionaire, whatever it is.” “We're creating, or proposing the creation, of a new tax system that allows the government for the first time ever to come in and audit everything you own.” “All the jewelry your grandma gave you, the value of all the couches in your house, the value of your car, the value of all your stocks and bonds, and the government can come in, and for the first time, look through the veil into your personal property.” “And say, ‘Here's how much all this stuff is worth. I'm charging you a percentage of that. That's what I need to get paid.’ And it doesn't matter that it starts with billionaires. What matters is that we're giving the government the right to look into our private property and take a percentage of it every year.” “The total net worth of billionaires in the US is $8 trillion.” “The net worth of the US, the middle class, and everyone else is $170 trillion, compared to $8 trillion of the billionaires.” Chamath Palihapitiya: “They need a way to open the door so that they can go after the real honey pot.” “The real honeypot is not 200 people.” david friedberg: “Just so everyone understands the real goal of this is not to tax billionaires, because there are other ways to tax billionaires.” “Charge them a capital gains tax if they borrow against their assets that they haven't paid capital gains tax on. Very simple, that can resolve this.” “Another thing you can do, you can raise the capital gains tax rate. Sounds unpopular. I don't agree with that, but that's another way to deal with this, which is to take the capital gains tax rate from 20% to 30%. You could do that.” “The real goal of this is to create, for the first time in American history, a private property asset seizure tax. Because they're going after the $170 trillion, not the $8 trillion that the billionaires have.”

A concern many voters have about voting yes on initiative i2109 is the misleading description put on the ballot measure that gives voters the impression that if the capital gains tax is repealed it would reduce funding to Washington's education system and early childcare programs. This wording was written by a partisan office that opposes the initiative and has an obvious conflict of interest in providing Washingtonians with the truth. Chris Corry is the ranking member of the House Appropriations committee and has deep knowledge of Washington's budget. In this video he explains why Washington already has adequate funding for its education system and that the highly volatile revenue from the capital gains tax was unnecessary to fund programs. The truth is that proponents of the capital gains tax had spent years trying to find a way to introduce an income tax into Washington. By creating a capital gains tax and cynically telling Washington voters that "if you don't support it, our kids education will be harmed" they managed to open the door to a broad-based income tax. Within a year of creating the capital gains tax, which they marketed as only applying to the rich, they introduced legislation to lower the threshold at which it applies dramatically so the tax would apply to the vast majority of people in Washington who own stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies or other assets. Real-estate and retirement funds are exempt for now, but given Olympia's proclivity for increasing and expanding taxes, this will not last long. Listen to Representative Corry's explanation for why the wording on the ballot measure is so misleading and vote Yes on i2109 to repeal Washington's backdoor income tax. Vote yes, pay less.
