Progressive tax …….then there better be progressive refunds.
Wouldn’t hurt and it will help approval numbers. Even if 10% it would be concrete evidence.
I heard from Trump tonight the he wants to give 50% back to Americans as a payment and 50% back to Americans as debt reduction.
Wait What? We’re getting some money? Oh yeah.......we going sizzler, we going sizzler, ......yeah!
“ Considering that some households have paid far more federal income tax than others, this is effectively wealth redistribution.”
He would do it on a percentage basis
It is a great idea and I applaud President Trump for coming up with it.
Winning in 2026 is a good goal.
Pay off the debt.
“Yeah. Somehow, people who haven’t owed any taxes”
Who is that?
Not anyone who is going to be in on this. Taxpayers only
Money buys time.
Time buys change.
I’d like to know the math for that.
Some households actually get refundable credits from the EIC program such that, not only do they not pay taxes, they get additional money back.
The wide variance in what people actually pay in taxes would mean we’d have payments ranging from nothing to the full amount in a distribution equivalent to what was paid over each individuals lifetime.
I find it hard to believe they are actually going to run those numbers, hence at best it’ll be wealth redistribution on a smaller scale.
Nevertheless, the beast has always been government spending so I still think calling back bonds with recovered money is the best way to go (and cut future budgets based on items no longer paid as well).
Too many people struggling. 50/50 sounds good.
You should get paid back in proportion to what you paid in!!!!!!!!!
If you paid nothing you get nothing.
I like the idea of cutting taxes so that I can get a check every year for the rest of my life, and by “rest of my life,” I mean until the next president, President Hector Luis Gonzalez Bueno Camacho executive orders everything away
Did you forget the biden and trump covid cash scam of 20 and 21? Millions of Americans who made too much money didn’t get a check. Yet, and to pay in and watch the scam in real time. That doesn’t even count all the ppp fraud waste and abuse.
That’s cool. I just like his other ideas better and hope this one remains as an idea.
IF he does this, he’ll be the first politician that has ever given me anything besides a headache.... Go Trump!!!!
Trump has swung over plenty to his side without this type of action.
People would have money with an even lower tax bill, which is what you would not get with a check.
But Trump is a business guy, not a stubborn ideologue like me, so has a wide variety of marketing techniques.
Nice!
