This is the one question conservatives should be asking ourselves about the tariffs: Is $2 TRILLION in taxes on top of all of the other taxes that we have a good deal?

Rand Paul tries to speak sense to Larry Kudlow on tariffs: "We're getting $2 trillion in taxes on top of all the other taxes that we have. So ultimately conservatives have to decide -- do they like taxes because they're Donald Trump's taxes?"

JEFF BEZOS SAYS: "WE DON'T HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY. WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM." "A nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes." His suggestion: "How about we start by having the nurse in Queens not pay taxes at all? We shouldn't be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology." The math behind it: "The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes." He added the US already has "the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all the tax revenue."

"Macroeconomics is the study of averages, and on average, taxes are gonna be a lot lower under this bill. But good economists look beneath the average and see what's happening to individuals. The combo of this bill + tariffs is gonna result in higher taxes for 80% of Americans"

Jeff Bezos on America's spending and taxes: "We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We already have the most progressive tax system in the world. The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all taxes. The bottom 50% pay just 3%. We have a spending problem."

The question we should be asking is not which programs we cut — it should be why aren't we living in a society in which all of our people have a decent standard of living? Is that a Utopian vision? It really is not.

The tax men don’t even care about source of your income, all they want is to tax it. Nigerians are not ready for these taxes at this time! The Nigerian problem is not a revenue problem, it is that we have squandamaniacs in power. #nigeria #taxes

“This is a summary of what it is to live in the United States in 10 seconds. We pay taxes on money we earn, taxes on money we spend, taxes on things that we already own, with money that we have already been taxed” There is a way to fix this - Abolish the income tax - Abolish property taxes - Abolish annual registration fees on all vehicles Annual registration fees are nothing but a scam to tax you every year on things you already own

Warren Buffett says if the top 800 other major corporations paid what Berkshire Hathaway did in taxes, Americans wouldn't have to pay a dime in income taxes, or any taxes “If we send in a check like we did last year, we send in over $5 billion to the US federal government, and of 800 other companies had done the same thing. No other person in the United States would've had to pay a dime of federal taxes. Other income taxes, no social security taxes, no estate taxes — It doesn't bother me in the least to write that check, and I would really hope with all the America's done for all of you, it shouldn't bother you that we do it” You understand what he’s saying here right? We are subsidizing corporations cheating on taxes with our income tax Abolish the Income Tax

Jeff Bezos makes a powerful case for ZERO taxes on hard-working, low-income Americans. He said the government shouldn’t be asking a nurse in Queens making $75,000 to send ANY money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology instead. BEZOS: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes.” “Does that really make sense?” “So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes?” “Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than $1,000 a month in taxes?” “That’s $1,000 a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.” “And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%!” “We can find 3%. So we don’t have...it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that.” “And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.” “We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology!” “It really makes no sense.”

Poilievre today "You need to take home more of your pay, and that's why Conservatives want to cut your income tax, so that of every dollar you earn, you bring home more of that dollar." "We're going to end all taxes on home building." "Right now, the single biggest cost for a new home is taxes." "If we got rid of the taxes, the average home would be about $200,000 less across Canada." Pierre Poilievre

NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?” “So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!” “Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?” “That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.” “And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to?

🚨Treasury Committee: Reeves confronted by Harriett Baldwin on her revealed preference for hiking taxes. Reeves chose to answer a completely valid question childishly by attacking the previous government's record on taxes. The equivalent of a kid being in a fight, arguing that 'they started it'. The Conservatives' record on taxation is hardly award-worthy, but Reeves has increased taxes by over £60bn since Labour won in 2024 and blatantly lied to the electorate after the last budget about not needing to come back for more and breaking the manifesto promise not to raise taxes on working people. Her revealed preference IS tax hikes, and her refusal to answer a straightforward question on the subject is proof that she knows that this is true.
