Planned new tax receipts almost never meet projections.

The “victims” usually find ways to reduce or avoid the tax altogether.

Corporations will have armies of tax attorneys working the problem.

Former Mayor Buttigieg made a quiet deal to borrow from the South Bend, Indiana city treasury and pay it back in 20 years. Old pals okayed it.

They’ve so bastardized language that any expenditure can be considered “paid for” by their anything-goes definition as long as all their ludicrous growth forecasts and future taxation demands are met.

JoeBama job “creation “ is just another money laundering scam.
There are already many jobs available.
People don’t want to work if they can have an unemployment vacation a Oregon Gov. Brown has just extended unemployment benefits when companies here cannot find enough workers.

I have planned my Retirement Income Budget so I don’t pay one Penny in Federal or State Income Taxes.

They got enough blood money out of me during my working career.

Of course, they are still milking me through Medicare, the supposed free Healthcare Plan the Left promises to everyone.
Medicare isn’t free by a longshot.

Xiden’s Inflationary Policies will get the money out of us either way.
