You're always the gentleman.

I bet you're all for Biden's $600 reporting thing to the IRS.

I can see it now every time you fill up your tank with diesel.  You say you routinely turn the pump over when you fill up.

Imagine that some greenie IRS agent sees your purchases for a non commercial pleasure boat.  Say you fill up twice a month.  That agent is gonna be looking at your carbon footprint and gratuitous use of that evil fossil fuel with your ship.  Tsk, tsk ... you can fall into immediate disfavor with your case worker.  You might need to buy carbon offset credits to make 'em happy.  Hey, they could even report you to the EPA and they could chain your boat to the dock or you might need permission to go somewhere.  Or have fuel rationed to you.  They can say that you travel too much.  A flag could pop up on your passport making re entry ton's-o-fun.  Oh and they can see which political parties you give to.  The possibilities are endless.  All they will need is one $600 transfer to be able to look at everything.

No one is more powerful than the IRS when it is you against them.

Sleep well.  Uncle Joe is watching over you for your own good.

LOL!

kurtster, my man, the problem is the following:  Under Trump's rule, the US economy shrunk and people had less money to buy things.  Under Biden's rule, the US economy is bouncing back at very fast rates.

Under Biden supervision, the economy is growing so dang fast that shortages are occurring.   Imagine that.....

Harper pretty much developed the blueprint for supressing science and crippling government agencies so they can't do their jobs of protecting anything but business, that was then applied by trump and other right-wing governments, like Australia's. I'm not sure my opinion of him could be any lower.

Did you know that Margaret Trudeau who is Justin Trudeau's mother would fuck the door man in order to get into a night club? True fact that.

Did you know that Pierre Eliot Trudeau is impotent?   (All his former lovers are unanimous in this conclusion.)

Did you know that Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret would travel to Cuba to participate in orgies with Fidel Castro? True fact that.

Did you know that Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau's father? Clearly that is the case because they look like each other.

I worked at a fly fishing lodge in the Lakes Region of southern Chile a few years after the military coup. The hard-right, pro-military coup owner described Fidel Castro in colourful slang as somebody who was impotent.

(If you see any contradictions in the above, you need to 'believe' and get with the program.)

I dislike this personal shaming because it avoids policy issues and is fundamentally anti-democratic in nature but I finally figured why I really, viscerally dislike this.  Bullies uses this kind of rhetoric to harass people in day to day life.

So what were folks saying about Joe Biden's stutter?   Or his son's business dealings?

I'm hitting the rack so I'll just toss this out for consideration.

 $600 can now ruin your life.

Tax courts are extraconstitutional, in that you are presumed guilty and must prove your innocence.  Constitutional rights do not apply.

What could go wrong ... ?  Why nothing of course, as long as you ... 

To me, its a dot, a really big dot ... ymmv

This IRS proposal doesnt sound so hot.

A White House or Congress can propose all manner of controversial policies, as is occurring now, but state lawmakers can fight back in a number of ways. Such resistance is now underway in the Maine Legislature, with lawmakers in other states likely to follow suit.

A resolution introduced in the Maine House of Representatives today, September 22, urges U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R), Angus King (I), and the rest of the Maine congressional delegation to oppose President Joe Biden’s proposal to empower the IRS to monitor aggregate transactions going into and out of personal and business bank accounts whose value or total transactions exceed $600 in value, which ensnares the majority of active bank accounts. As the new state resolution filed by Maine Representative John Andrews points out, “President Joe Biden wants the IRS to have automatic access to information about every Americans' bank account as well as every PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp account, even if without any accusations of wrongdoing.”

Been waiting for someone to bring this up.  Cannot get much more Big Brother than this.

Pay Pal, Ebay, Etsy and Amazon will already be passing out 1099 - K's in 2022 if your accounts total more than $600 gross in income for the year.  You are either gonna eat the tax on that or have to do Schedule C, P & L statements.  And this is just for selling your used personal items for example.  Forget about a T - shirt business and things were you make some actual money like jewelry making and simple retailing of anything.  The old standard was $20,000 or 200 transaction per year, whichever was greater.  The current bank transaction threshold for a report is $10,000 or more in cash.  I remember when that was implemented.  We are pretty near the bottom of that slippery slope everyone says is not to be taken seriously.

But this is what everyone voted for when they voted for Joe.

I read and listen to western Canadians doing the same thing with PM Justin Trudeau.    Why talk about POLICY when you can talk about personal characteristics like a preadolescent child in the playground?

Republicans worried about tax fraud...too funny. 

S Corporations have always been seen as a way to protect owner earnings from Social Security taxation.  The requirements are that the owners have to take salaries that represent a reasonable level of compensation for the services performed, with the remainder being seen as "profits" not subject to SS.

The Biden's took $800k as salary (and paid SS taxes).  Good luck arguing he's worth more when you're currently paying him $400k per year.

Should we talk about Trump's taxes?  I guess it's a good idea to try and establish some moral equivalency before Allen Weisselberg starts talking in court...

Ask your boy...that makes him smart.


This is probably the best take on the whole thing. It's not like he claimed a $24,000 a year salary.

Somehow people think it is wrong to use legal means to reduce your taxes, even if you recognise those loopholes are bad policy that should be changed. Lets see the republicans get behind reform to prevent this if they don't like it benefitting Biden.
