During a portion of an interview with MS NOW on Thursday that was aired on “The Weeknight,” Sen.-elect Scott Colom (D-MS) proposed exempting anyone making less than $75,000 a year from income taxes and responded to a question on how he’ll pay for it by saying that “we’ll figure it out. We find ways to pay for wars. I’m going to learn the budget system and figure out where the money is.”
Co-host Symone Sanders Townsend asked, “What’s a bill you can pass that could actually lower costs for people in this state and across the country?”
Colom answered, “Well, the first bill I would propose — and I think we might get a chance to get some Republicans to support it, and a chance that President Trump would sign it — is no federal income tax for anybody making under 75,000 a year.”
Sanders Townsend followed up, “And how will you pay for that?”
Colom answered, “Listen, we’ll figure it out. We find ways to pay for wars. I’m going to learn the budget system and figure out where the money is. There’s a lot of stuff that’s happening in our tax system that’s unfair. I don’t think it’s great that we’ve got people borrowing against their stock, living off the debt, so they don’t have to pay income tax. That’s something that needs to get fixed. We can get a lot of money if we focus on fixing that. But we’ve got to get money in people’s pockets. People are struggling out there. And I think too many of our leaders are not listening to those voters. And we’ve got to make sure we’re listening, because if we listen, we learn. And if we learn, we can deliver.”

I will agree to this with the proviso that only those who pay income taxes are allowed to vote.
Look in the Somali luggage. You’ll find lots of cash.
Maybe they can just borrow and print more...
Call Musk, Big Balls, and DOGE. They seemed to be the best attempt at untangling massive and bloated Fed.gov anyone has made in decades.
You used to have to Own real Property to VOTE!! I am for going back.
Colom can use Zimbabwe as his role model.
Get rid of all the white people and then print zillions of dollars.
It may not be a straight enough answer but he answered the question. If it leads to a followup question or a solution that won’t work he still answered the question and that won’t hurt him amongst his supporters. In other words he’s blowing it off. Happens all the time. Obama and John Kerry were masters. Straight face but no straight answer.
Think Al Gore’s war against big oil for polluting the air while riding around on his private jet. When confronted he explained how he paid for carbon credits so that makes it ok.
Is basic Economics not taught in schools anymore?
Go figure
When they run out of Jews they will come for the billionaires who the Democrats will define as anyone making over $250,000 a year.
“confiscating Jewish assets”
This is the not the 1930s.
“Jewish assets” are spread in every corner of the world—often hidden in convuluted layers of LLCs and foreign variants as well as assets of every imaginable kind.
Herding every cat in the United States into New Jersey would be easier.
He’s not stupid.
50 years of Congresses before he gets sworn in have figured out how to borrow, print, steal, or “find” $41 TRILLION dollars for their pets, Senator-elect Colom just wants some of the people who voted for him to have a crack at the stack.
Nothin’ wrong with that.
He’s every bit as stupid as Kamala.
Since when did a Democrat ever worry about how to pay for anything?....................
More “brilliance” on display from the elected representatives.. we are doomed.
Cut spending?
Fanni Willis knows
The money is in the pockets of people with jobs. That’s where it always is. He’ll have no trouble finding it.
The debt of the federal government per American citizen family of four is 12 times the cost of construction materials for a Casa Griffin.
