Warren Buffett, in his first sit-down since stepping down as Berkshire CEO, gave the cleanest indictment of legalized gambling in a decade. He called it a tax cut for the wealthy. The math proves him exactly right. Americans wagered $165 billion at legal sportsbooks in 2025. They lost $16...

California Governor candidate Chad Bianco says if he wins, he can easily eliminate the state income tax and move to a flat tax system - California has a 13.3%, the highest in the country - On day one “I just said we're completely eliminating the tax code and we're just going to go to a 5% flat tax, everybody's going to pay 5% flat tax” - The revenue that would be generated from that is only $30 billion less than what California gets now - California spends $30 billion per year on illegal immigrants to keep them in the state “So you stop that. Now we don't have to do anything.” So to recap - End the income tax - Switch to 5% flat tax - End benefits for illegals Easy and Americans get to keep way more of their money. Vote for Chad Bianco

THE MAMDANI TAX PLAN WAS ALREADY TRIED IN 2021; IT DIDN'T LEAVE TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE, CLEANER STREETS, AND IMPROVED PUBLIC SAFETY In 2021, New York State quietly enacted one of the largest tax hikes in its history. The top personal income tax rate jumped from 8.82% to 10.9% for those earning over $25M - and 10.3% for those over $5M - giving New York one of the highest state tax rates in America. At the same time, the corporate tax rate rose from 6.5% to 7.25% for companies with more than $5M in income. Albany called it “shared sacrifice.” Albany called it “fair share.” Not only did these tax increases fail to improve the quality of life, it also led to record outmigration, shrinking business investment, and the continued erosion of New York’s tax base.

In 2022, I signed into law the largest income tax cut in state history. As a result, South Carolina taxpayers have kept an additional $1.275 billion of their hard-earned money. This year, I have again proposed cutting the personal income tax rate as much as we can, and as fast as we can. If the General Assembly can find a way to eliminate it altogether, I will sign it the second it arrives on my desk.

Mamdani: PTET is essentially a loophole that allows high-income earners to reduce their federal tax burden. Who benefits? Millionaires and multimillionaires. More than 95% of PTET credits go to those making more than $1 million a year. More than 80% go to those earning more than $5 million a year. The PTET, in short, is a tax cut for the rich. We are not calling to eliminate the credit. We are instead asking the state for a modest reduction from 100% to 75%—that change alone will generate nearly $1 billion in additional revenue, revenue we can invest in buses that carry New Yorkers to work, the public schools that educate our children, and the public parks and beaches where we spend our summers.

Seattle business leaders are reacting to Washington's new "Millionaires Tax" bill that passed the state house Tuesday. The Washington State Budget and Policy Center estimates it would hit as many as 30,000 Washington households to bring in about $4 billion per year for the General Fund. Under the plan, people making more than $1 million per year would pay a 9.9% tax on income above that threshold starting in 2029. #komo #komo4 #komonews #seattle #washington #millionaire #tax #incometax

Yesterday, Governor Bob Ferguson signed Washington state’s first income tax into law. Voters rejected an income tax as recently as 2010. In 2024 they went further — passing Initiative 2111, which explicitly banned the state from enacting one. Democrats amended that ban and passed it anyway. 51-46 in the House. 27-22 in the Senate. Senate Bill 6346 imposes a 9.9% tax on household income above $1 million. The bill includes a “necessity clause” that blocks a public referendum. Opponents cannot put repeal to a vote. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in 1933 that income is property and must be taxed uniformly. That precedent has stood for 93 years. Democrats didn’t pursue a constitutional amendment. Instead they redefined the tax as a levy on the “receipt” of income — not income itself — and are relying on a current court to accept the distinction. A lawsuit was filed the same day Ferguson signed it. Washington was already ranked 45th in state tax competitiveness. New Jersey introduced its income tax in 1976 with a 2.5% top rate. It is now 10.75%. Two years ago voters banned the income tax. Democrats wrote an exception into that ban, shielded it from referendum, and signed it anyway.

You can set your watch to it. New York City’s new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, just announced the city is in a massive $12 BILLION financial hole. ​ To fill the hole, he is pushing to raise income taxes on top earners and hike the corporate tax rate to 11.5% making NYC the highest-tax jurisdiction for earners in the entire country. ​ He claims he talked to a millionaire who said they "wouldn't leave" over a tax hike. But economists (and common sense) warn that businesses and wealth are already packing their bags. ​He ran on "affordability," but it looks like the first order of business is making the city more expensive for the people who pay the bills.

🚨NEW: David Sacks on Tax Abuse in California: "This is not a tax. This is an asset seizure. This is saying that we're going to take 5% of everything you own, whether you're paid up on your taxes or not, whether your assets are realized or unrealized. Never anything like this before in American history. People are leaving and it is doing tremendous damage to the state. Roughly a trillion dollars of net worth has left the state that is going to put a huge hole in the tax collections of the state."

The Income Tax has been deemed Unconstitutional “There's no income tax in America until the Civil War. An emergency one Lincoln pushed after the Civil War, it's repealed 1892. They try to have a peacetime income tax, it’s declared unconstitutional Woodrow Wilson pushes through the income tax, the 16th Amendment in 1913. It's a 1% tax on the top 1% richest people in the country. It's not to tax the people, it’s to go after those robber barons. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, J. Paul Getty's, the Astors. It would be sort of like today that only Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and George Soros, that's what the tax is for. And so you have Taft, pushing through a corporate income tax. And only the extreme wealthy owned corporate stock, so it was a backdoor way to get at them. Teddy Roosevelt was responsible for inheritance tax, because only the extreme wealthy had an inheritance worth leaving. But finally, Woodrow Wilson pushes through the income tax, which is the 1% tax on the top 1% richest people.” And today this is all applied to everyone It’s time to abolish the income tax

It was a temporary wartime measure. It was repealed in 1872, The Supreme Court upheld it as constitutional in Springer v. United States In 1894 there was another peacetime attempt at an income tax. Congress passed a 2% tax on incomes over $4,000 as part of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act. The Supreme Court struck it down in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co. They again said it was unconstitutional So next in 1913 Congress forces an income tax on us with the 16th Amendment But what else happened in 1913? The federal reserve was established We had a central banking takeover and that same year they passed the income tax to steal from all of us This should have never been allowed to happened, the income tax was ruled unconstitutional It’s time to set Americans free and abolish the income tax

The Biggest Tax Reform in Living Memory! A trust is basically a structure where the income doesn’t sit in your personal name. It sits in the trust, and each year, that income can be distributed to different people in the family. So instead of one person earning everything and paying top tax, it gets spread out. This is how the wealthy pay less tax - legally. The advantage is simple. You can legally reduce the overall tax by allocating income to people on lower tax rates. That’s why people who’ve got good advice and set things up properly have been able to keep more of what they earn, while also adding a layer of asset protection at the same time. #australianeconomy #budget #trustfund

SHOULD GOVERNMENT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY? “People are waking up to the fact that the asset seizure tax is an elimination of private property rights, that fundamentally what you're saying [is] that private property now becomes public property. Because as soon as you give the government the right to collect your post-tax assets through a legislative vote, you are basically saying that you no longer have private property — because at any point in the future the government can vote to say I'm going to take your private property — which is different than an income tax. [An income tax] is when you earn something that you didn't have before, and they take a percentage of your earnings (of your income). The statement now is after you've made your income (it's now your private property) — they can come and take it. And so that is a distinction that has never existed in the United States. And I will make the retort right now to property tax, because people always say to me: ‘what about property tax?’ A property tax is a service fee on a particular, specific asset. The money that is collected provides services for that asset to make it more valuable. So you get roads, infrastructure, policing, fire, schools… All the stuff that comes with property tax makes that property [more valuable]. And you have the option at any point you want to sell that property and stop paying that property tax. You have the option at any point to downgrade your property and get a cheaper property and pay [a lower tax]. And here's the other important point about property tax: it’s uniform. Uniform means that everyone pays the same percentage, the same property tax rate in a county. This asset seizure tax that's being proposed is a demographic tax — meaning that the state or the legislature defines a specific group of individuals (in this case, they're saying anyone with a net worth over a billion dollars) and then they can go and take assets from only that group. That is nonuniform taxation. It means that for the first time we're saying based on the demographics of a person meaning whatever you want to use to define that person (in this case their wealth) — you are going to be treated differently. And that is different than an income tax, because remember when you have graduated income tax rates (and you say high earners get taxed more) — what you're taxing is the earnings, not the individual. You're not looking through to the individual to determine whether or not they're wealthy. All you're doing is looking at the independent earnings amount that's coming in. And so a uniformity clause is supposed to protect people from being demographically discriminated against. And you may roll your hand and be like: ‘Oh, who cares about the billionaires? Eat the rich. That's great.’ But fundamentally, you're giving the government, the legislature, the ability to in the future take any demographic definition they want and go in and take any percentage they want of after-tax property from you. That is why this is so troubling.” david friedberg The All-In Podcast

Today, I was the lone no vote on increasing the fuel revenue indexing tax. Several people talked about how they’ve generated one billion dollars in revenue from this tax. They’ve made that money off the backs of hard-working people in Clark County who are buying gas who have to get to work - they are paying a tax. That’s where the one billion dollars came from. Now they want to extend it for another ten years. But unlike in 2016 when it was passed on the ballot, now they want to do so without a vote of the people. Yes, we need roads and we need people put to work, but it should have been done the correct way — by a vote of the people.

Democrats independence a bill to abolish the income tax on lower income Americans, but increase the income tax on high earners “Under the bill, any income up to $46,000 for individuals, or $92,000 for couples would not be subject to enter any federal income taxes” “Now, to fund it taxpayers making more than a million dollars a year would get a progressive tax hike - Those making between $1 and 2 million would pay an extra 5% for a total top rate of 42% (current federal) - Those making more than $5 million a year would have a top federal rate of 59% So what does that mean? Well, someone here in New York City making more than $5 million a year, their combined state, city, and federal rate would be over 73%. For New Jersey taxpayers making more than million a year, the combined state and federal rate would be over 69%”

Russian regions going bankrupt In the Saratov Regional Duma, they announced the region's default 2025 was a "catastrophic" year for the Saratov region : there was a collapse in production, and the region effectively found itself in a state of default, said regional Duma deputy Alexander Anidolov. "Especially at the end of the year, there was a catastrophic drop in production, especially in the manufacturing sector, not related to the military-industrial complex. The result is a drop in personal income tax and profit tax. We lost 7.5 billion rubles this year, and we lost it suddenly... Overall, the region is effectively in default. The federal government forgave us 12.5 billion rubles," he noted.

RIP Illinois taxpayers 🚨 Illinois taxpayer REJECTED a progressive income tax, Democrat leaders are MOVING AHEAD with creating a constitutional amendment anyway Deputy Leader Norine Hammond says despite “the election results which saw that Illinois voters soundly rejected the progressive income tax, Democrats have once again introduced a constitutional amendment for a progressive income tax. Yesterday, it was reported that progressive Democrats are just beginning their campaign for a graduated income tax hike. And this week, the Illinois Revenue Alliance, AKA the Tax and Spend alliance, presented a list of tax hikes that would raise taxes by $6 billion. And that does not include the graduated income tax hike, $6 billion in new taxes to pay for taxpayer funded health care benefits for illegal immigrants, more pork projects for Democrats, and more of their wasteful spending on programs. These tax hikes would further damage our economy and drive up the tax burden and the cost of living for Illinois families.”

And that does not include the graduated income tax hike, $6 billion in new taxes to pay for taxpayer funded health care benefits for illegal immigrants, more pork projects for Democrats, and more of their wasteful spending on programs. These tax hikes would further damage our economy and drive up the tax burden and the cost of living for Illinois families.”

New data shows that under Democrats Zohran Mamdani and Kathy Hochul, New York now has the highest taxes in the nation When you add together the total tax burden for each state. That's income tax, property tax, sales, and excise tax as a share of total income: - New York topped that list with a tax burden of 12.5% - Hawaii ranked second at 12.3% - Maine is 3rd - Vermont is 4th - Connecticut is 5th - New Jersey is 6th Every one of these states is run by Democrat control. (Vermont is the exception with a Republican governor but the state is run by a Democrat majority legislator) Alaska had the lowest tax burden at just 5%. Also near the bottom was Tennessee at number 47, Florida at number 46, both with burdens around 6%

Mike Benz exposes the NGO National Endowment for Democracy is a money laundering operation for people in Government - They approve hundreds of millions to NED - Once they leave government they go work at NED and get massive salaries - The head of NED makes more than the President of the United States “Damon Wilson, the head of NED, makes twice the salary of the Secretary of State, even though it's funded by the State Department. The State Department is who funds NED, but the head of NED makes twice as much as the head of the State Department. Make that make sense? Of course, you know the answer. That's part of the game. This is part of what keeps the State Department and Republicans in the State Department doing favors for NED, is because when they're done with the State Department, they wanna be able to afford private school for the kids. They can go join NED, 'cause they were good to NED while they were at state, and they know people on the inside at state who keep being good to NED. The president of the United States has a 400K a year salary. The president of NED, which is funded in majority by the U.S. government, has a higher salary than the president of the United States. Both are funded by our tax dollars. We're spending more tax dollars paying the salary of this mutant freak CIA cutout NGO that we're paying the president of the United States as a salary.”
