This was a wake up call for me. You?

You should never get a refund if you don’t pay tax. I don’t care if you have 10 babies.

I’ve tried to explain this fact to Democrat relatives, with college degrees in engineering. They have a mental block erected, that prohibits them from using any kind of rational thinking skills when it comes to the scams of government.

She is breaking down the redistribution, but most people don't understand that 50% of workers are net positive, and 50% of workers are net negative. Half of the country is paying their taxes only to have that money given to the other half that pay no taxes because they don't work as hard.

The biggest problem with govt assistance is technically it can last forever. It should just be used for max 2-3 years to get your crap together and find a job.

THIS IS “GOVERNMENT PLANTATION” THAT SO MANY SPEAK OF!!!!! Across these programs, structures like benefit cliffs and high marginal tax rates (specially in SNAP and Medicaid) make increasing earnings counterproductive, ENABLING DEPENDENCY by discouraging self-sufficiency. 🚨 If conservatives candidates don’t start talking about RESTRUCTURING the WELFARE BENEFIT SYSTEM, WE WILL CONTINUE DOWN THE PATH OF ENSLAVING AMERICANS & ENABLING DEPENDENCY (ie: socialism) 1️⃣ ENACT “CHILDCARE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS” — a tax deferred savings account for covering childcare up to $12,000 annually. 2️⃣ EXPAND ELIGIBLE “CHILDCARE PROVIDERS” to Grandparents & Senior Living Facilities with excluding income for seniors on fixed income & offering tax deductible daycare expenses for senior living centers. 3️⃣ CREATE “TRUMP TEEN ACCOUNTS” - mirroring in part the Trump Kid Accounts but for teens aged (12-18) whereby allowing parents to deposit $10k annually, TAX DEFERRED, into a Teen Account & where a TERN 14-18 can DEPOSIT WHOLE OR HALF OF “JOB INCOME” WITHOUT AFFECTING “HOUSEHOLD INCOME” for the teens family benefits. 4️⃣ ENACT A “HEALTH SAVINGS DISABLED ACCOUT (HSA-D) for SSI & SSDI Eligible Beneficiaries. — AMEND the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and Social Security Act to create such exemptions, as it did with ABLE in 2014 (via the ABLE Act, codified at 26 U.S.C. § 529A) = targeted fix for SSI/SSDI recipients facing premium barriers. ✅ ALLOW SSI & SSDI beneficiaries to save up to $10,000 for “Health-Related Deductible Resources”, to save for health insurance premiums & qualified deductible expenses (QDEs); allowing for tax-free withdrawals. ✅ MIRRORS similarity to “ABLE Accounts” but specific to those who have, or plan to have, Private/Employer Health Insurance & related Health Premiums, Co-Insurance, Deductibles, & other QDE. ✅ ALLOW DUAL-ELIGIBILITY to both ABLE & HSA-D Accounts for disabled children (9- 18), who due to disability, would also qualify for SSI under adult disability rules. 5️⃣ ELIMINATE INCOME EXCLUSIONS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS in SSI Calculations — AMEND SSI regulations (under 42 U.S.C. § 1382a) to exclude from countable income any amounts earned or received specifically for purchasing creditable private health insurance premiums (e.g., employer plans, marketplace coverage, or individual policies). ✅ Exclusion would apply regardless of work status, extending beyond current Impairment-Related Work Expense [IRWE] deductions (which are only work-focused). 6️⃣ ENACT “SSA UNIFORM MEDICAID COORDINATION RULES” across STATES FOR SSI/SSDI BENEFICIARIES with PRIVATE and/or EMPLOYER HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS — UPDATE Social Security Act § 1902(a)(25), with CMS guidance or legislation. ✅ MANDATE ALL STATES to explicitly recognize private insurance as primary for SSI-linked Medicaid enrollees 0-65, with streamlined enrollment processes. ✅ AUTOMATE SSI awards to trigger secondary Medicaid status upon proof of primary coverage, specifically for non-1634 states (or mandate all states to become 1634 Eligible) ✅ Prevent premium payments from triggering SSI overpayments.

I call out leftist BS videos & memes so I have to call us out as well. I agree with the premise that we give away far too much. That said: Ppl making $60K don’t pay 22% taxes. 0-11.9k @ 10%, 11.9-48.5 @ 12%, 48.5-60 @ 22% for a ttl of $8.1K not 13K $7K in CC is falsely assumed

That math ain’t math in. They make 15,000. They get back 2000 + whatever they paid from withholding (which is already part of the 15,000). So it’s 15,000 plus 2,000, not 12,000.

This is what's happening in the UK too, and probably across the wider EU too. Essentially, wherever the globalist swamp has affected.

This dumbass has never filed her own taxes, You only get back taxe refunds based on taxes you paid. They don’t send you money back that you didn’t pay into. Fuck you MAGA clowns will believe anything.

No it true. I run a seasonal business and this group always applies and asks to be paid under the table, so they continually meet the threshold, it I refuse, they won’t take the job.

Less than 1/3 of the US population working tax payers trying to help our nation pay down the national debt while our government continues to create debt and driving inflation, sending money to other countries in foreign aids, funding endless wars, and rampant frauds?

Why are we comparing apples to oranges? The real comparison is the 99% vs. the 1%. That’s what actually makes sense. I understand how the system works. They keep us distracted, focusing on people barely surviving, while those at the top quietly drain all of us of our hard - earned money.

How dumb do you gotta be to believe that someone who worked for $15k had EIGHTY PERCENT OF THEIR CHECKS withheld for taxes just to get a refund.

You forgot state EITC, which come pretty close to the federal amount.

At least the part time workers are out there working and not sitting home and collecting money for nothing

Additionally, the free insurance they receive may be worth another $12,000 to $15,000. They also get assistance on rent and utilities, adding up to another $25,000. Total, their free money is around $100,000.

In other words… we have been living under socialism this whole time, and the stupid socialist are blaming it on capitalism. Aka~> Late Stage Socialism.

I figured that out after seeing my tax returns. Nothing. In fact, I ended up owing last year tax. I have 2 teens. One qualified child credit and one doesn’t because of age. Even I paid all my taxes. It is unfair. Why I ended up paying more and placed me on hardship while I have seen capable people have thousands from government assistance and driving expenses cars.

This is infuriating

Not quite, someone doing door dash earning $15k/yr is a contractor they don’t have taxes taken out in the first place. So that contractor doesn’t get any tax refund.

Wake up USA! We are still all slaves

So what about the trillions Trump sends Israel every time bibitch trumps master comes to visit his bitch name trump!

FACTS! THANKS MICHELLE, I HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS! OH YOU FORGOT THOSE ARE THE VERY PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE NICE CARS, AND THE PERSON THAT WORKS HAS TO KEEP THE USED VEHICLES

I briefly lived with a girl with a kid. I worked full time and paid all the bills while she worked part time and went to school. Tax time I owed close to a grand she got back more than she or I paid in taxes due to child care credits and other credits.

There should be a V shaped graph that shows household financial “stability” vs income. 20 years ago, I argued a household had to make 50k to live equal to one making 0. Today that number is closer to 100k. Until a certain point, zero work beats work, if pride isn’t a factor.

Had a valve head break off in my freightliner just before Thanksgiving. It will be ready with a new engine any day now and I'll be back on the road doing heavy haul. In the mean time I proved that you can make more than $1000 a week consistantly driving Uber eats. Work ethic!

Wow!

And Musk gets $8 MILLION PER DAY in corporate subsidies *our tax dollars* So I only have so much outrage to give A single parent is hard. Very hard

This is very true! Susie takes a job that requires a college degree but is shocked at how little of a paycheck she actually sees. Sam works an entry level position and qualifies for government assistance. Susie has to pay for everything that is free for Sam. Susie struggles too

I’m definitely pro-working but please explain where the 12k refund comes from in your example. You said withholdings. That’s their money. Also, you left out paying SS+ Medicare of 15.3% on their 15k SE earnings $2,295. A different tax than income tax. Thanks.

Just gaming the system as usual.
