WARNING: They call it a “billionaire tax.” It’s really a SAVINGS TAX. Hidden in the fine print: they can expand it to hit your 401(k), home equity, and savings. That’s why I launched the Stop the Savings Tax Initiative — to protect the middle class. They’re not targeting billionaires — they’re coming for YOU.

🚨 California Democrats just VOTED AGAINST “a constitutional amendment that would ban a savings tax without voter approval” California Democrats want to be able to put a tax on your savings account and checking account without letting people vote on it “Carl DeMaio's Taxpayer Protection Act. ACA 14 — These politicians are full of sh*t. They just voted against ACA 14, a constitutional amendment that would ban a savings tax without voter approval. I'm basically saying politicians should not be able to put a savings tax on middle class taxpayers, taxing their savings accounts, their checking account, their their investment portfolio, their retirement fund, even the equity in their home”

Tax, tax, tax. It’s all Labour know, it’s all Labour do. Now we potentially have 2 more, 1 for sure. There will be a 22% across the board tax on an interest earned from cash in stocks & shares ISA’s. Bear in mind this is money you have invested that you already paid income tax on and put into an ISA because you were told it was tax free. Then there is a strong suggestion that when Burnham comes in he will immediately put up Capital Gains Tax to match income tax. Thus killing any incentive or motivation to invest in or grow your assets. Tax is there for one reason only. To make the country function well and better people’s lives. We have the highest taxes ever now….but look around you. I defy you to find a single solitary piece of your life or this country that those taxes have improved!!! My advice is….find legal ways to pay as little as you possibly can!!

"Our national savings and investment rate is far below the levels needed to truly create generational wealth and support local investment in the economy. To encourage South Africans to save more, we propose that: The tax-free annual investment limit be increased from R36,000 to R46,000 per year. The limit to retirement fund deductions be raised from R350,000 to R430,000, allowing individuals to invest more each year on a tax-free basis." - Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403. #Budget2026

The PNP under my administration will increase the tax threshold to $3.5 million. That can save you up to $35,000 a month. A much greater benefit for those who need a break vs the wealthy who will benefit from reducing income tax from 25% to 15% as suggested by Andrew Holness. PNP continues to be for the PEOPLE ✊🏽 On September 3, 2025 put your ❌👤 for a better life! #JamaicaTimeCome

The $1,000 "MAGA" accounts just proposed for the "big, beautiful bill" are one of the best ideas yet in the Trump administration. To remain stable, America needs to be a nation of owners who have a stake in the country. When people have nothing and own nothing, they're far more ready to blow the system up. A $1,000 investment account, at birth, will teach American young people the value of savings and investing. It will encourage parents to invest in their children's future. It will give young adults a small nest egg they can use for starting a business or buying a house. And all of it won't be expensive: $1,000 for every child born in America is just $3.6 billion a year, less than half a percent of our current defense budget. Congress should get on board immediately.
