This is nothing, wait until the Trump tariffs kick in and everything gets more expensive.
but at least now baby jesus will stop shedding tears because transgenders and intersex people can now be labeled with their correct biblical gender
that will make the poor religious folks happy at least, right? they don’t need grocerries, baby jesus is happy the transgenders are suffering! delicious!
Is this from the extention of last tax cuts that are still active but set to expire unless renewed? Or a new proposal on top of that policy?
It looks like they aren’t planning to institute the new changes until spring this year. Is that correct, or am I misreading the website?
No guys it’s cool it’ll trickle down any day now just wait
Well, something is trickling down but for some reason it smells like piss.
I can’t wait for the trickle down Bukkake. Any minute now!

Who would have thought he would do the same thing he did in his first term again?
Less than half of the voters, apparently.
Something tells me most of his voters have no idea what he did last time
Graph is from October 2024 this isn’t some new version that was just released either
Correct. And it is still current.

“A small price to pay to own the libs!” the drones say as they make boiled leather soup.
Must be rich that they can afford leather and heat
They’re using pillaged library books as a heat source.
Don’t forget deport immigrants (arguably increasing food costs). BIL sent me an article about 400+ illegals getting deported Tuesday night or something. Weird, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of them. They could only get that many? “The majority were criminals” Aight, cool. Keep those resources going and start processing the years and years of rape kits left waiting for testing. Start getting those citizens too, champ. Or are we only after the brown criminals? Hmm…
Nobody in the US knows how marginal rates and progressive tax brackets work, you can sell the fools on anything and just blame the IRS because it’s the most convenient incarnation of what people hate.
I mean even this post got it wrong, your taxes go up until about $1 mil, not $300k.
But the cuts could start benefiting you at the $300k bracket relative to before. What’s the actual change?
Because the way marginal taxation works if you make 300k you paid all those extra brackets tax hikes before you got to 300k and started seeing the lower marginal rate.
So to see your impact you add every changed number from the left up to your income, that’s your impact.
Yes it takes a positive turn at 300k, but you’re already deep in the whole and don’t turn to actually positive until around the final bracket.
No! Noooo! I didn’t push your child and spit on you! The corrupt IRS fucked up on your taxes.
They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.
They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.
That’s on top of the increase starting now as well.
The tax plan of 2017 cut taxes for everyone, but starting last year they went up for anyone not making 300k or more.
This is just peak brainworm. What does someone making nearly a million dollars a year even do with an extra 7k?? Make their scroodge McDuck vault a little deeper? Doesn’t matter how deep it is, you still can’t dive into it like a pool. Idiots.
To be honest, if you’re able to make a million a year (even hundreds of thousands a year), you can afford an accountant who will tell you not to take compensation as employment income.
If you’re a business owner you’ll be taking a significant share as dividends, or if you’re an executive you’ll be taking stock options or other share based compensation. If done correctly, you can not only take advantage of lower tax rates but also defer taxes to future years.
No, you totally can dive into a pile of gold and swim in it and they should definitely all try it. It works better the higher the diving board is.
they use dollar bills instead of gold coins, you can get a cushy landing and swim through it pretty well.
Supposedly they invest it back into the economy, or, at least that’s what I’ve been told.
Is there a source on this? Not that I don’t believe it, I’m sure this is exactly what’s going to happen, but if I bring it up in conversation saying “I saw it in a meme” will deflate the argument.

just say I did my own research and anyone dumb enough to ask for a source in casual conversation will be satisfied.
Ugh, I hate it when people provide evidence for their claims! When someone tells me that Haitians are eating dogs, I just believe them if the conversation is casual enough
LOL Bush Jr did the same thing as did the previous Republican president. This is par for the course.
The last two times I’ve been to Costco they’ve been out of eggs. One of these days I’m expecting the Cash & Carry to be out of eggs too. Then the Rosaures, the Safeway, and the mini mart too. Just think of the savings in not buying any eggs at all!

-Trump FDA soon
He’s going to force factory farms to stop culling sick chickens, isn’t he? Somehow RFK will get involved with the chickens’ rights
