After a certain age you shouldnt be taxed period!!! On anything. You spend 3/4ths of your life working and paying tax, thats enough, you have paid your civil duty. @DanWright6
what DJT has proposed already is going to make the tax code even more complicated and costly. Nobody should get to deduct interest on car loans, for example. It will result in more debt, and failure to pay debts, which will fall to us as higher interest rates we will pay. There is no free lunch, either you pay taxes or you pay inflated prices or interest rates.
Something has to be done. I'm paying 30% in taxes with zero dependents and an additional 10% goes to insurance. I'm seriously about ready to quit working and work under the table. I'm sick of working by butt off only to have almost half of my paycheck going to Ukraine. I'm sick of it!
Yep. Flat tax. Not a "fair tax". No deductions, no exclusions, no exemptions, no whining. Everyone pays 10%. Everyone hates having to pay it, and everyone now has skin in the game. Nobody is happy when the govt wastes money on goofy stuff.
Nah. Make it 0% for everybody under $100k and make it 30% for any income above $100k. This would eliminate federal income tax for the bottom 75% of the population while balancing the budget and preserving social security + medicaid.
@@shubashuba9209 Absolutely not. Poor people need to have that righteous indignation when Congress wastes money.

you should have paid attention in reading and arithmetic classes in school; I've done my own taxes for over 40 years. It's easy if you read, and can do basic math.
@darbyheavey406 "Tax return on one page." Why? Why do you assume that the problem is complexity, instead of the problem being that the government has made your personal finances THEIR business? Why should there be ANY "tax return"? Why permit the government to monitor your personal finances AT ALL? Do you see how brainwashed you are? You just automatically ASSUME that your income and spending habits are fair game for the government to monitor. However crazy you think I'm am for even questioning that, is the measure of how brainwashed you are.
Tax laws can be so complex, and it’s super helpful to break them down like this. Understanding how different policies can impact our finances is crucial for making informed decisions.
Making profitable investments during this time of political change can be risky without that insight. For me, working with an adviser is the best first step to navigate these complexities and make informed choices.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Sophia Maurine Lanting’’ for about two years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

When you tax spending, all taxes become truly voluntary. But never tax energy, food, clothing, or housing. All of these are needed for survival. It's evil to tax these.
Here is the problem: the rich don't make "income," so any tax on income (including the "tax prep industry") is funded by the wage earners, while the truly wealthy just need to sell an inherited painting or other asset, and they live off that sale for a year or two. No taxes!
The problem with a vat tax is that it penalizes every productive activity in the economy rather than just penalizing the importers which are non-productive enterprises.
The ideal that I heard Trump float was to replace income taxes with tariffs which would be similar to other countries VAT. I sort of kind of like that idea... The only confusing part is when you say you're putting tariffs on everything, other countries interpret that as being a penalty when in our case it's not; it's just our system of taxation.
Then the cost would be put on the consumers as the cost of imported goods go up. Then other countries retaliate with their own tariffs on American goods.
From the official RNC Donald Trump platform, “Our trade deficit in goods has grown to over $1 trillion dollars a year. Republicans will support baseline tariffs on foreign made goods, pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act and respond to unfair trading practices. As tariffs on foreign producers go up, taxes on American workers, families and businesses can come down.” Trade deficit = when a country imports more than it exports. The opposite is a trade excess both can be problematic I was not able to find a definition for ‘base line tariffs only several websites with the same leftist article claiming they are going to crash the economy. Trump Reciprocal Trade Act = an ‘eye for an eye’ policy which will allow the government to charge the exact same tariff on other countries goods as they charge on ours. From what I can gather Trump wants us to impose at least 10% tariffs on all other countries except China which he wants to impose at least 60% tariffs on but I’m not even sure if I’ve got that right. Trump points out that before income tax the federal government made 80% of its income from tariffs and that back then the average tariff imposed by the U.S. was 37% and the highest tariff was 95%. He claims that right now the US imposes the lowest tariffs in the world and that Chinas Tariffs on US goods are 341% higher than US tariffs on Chinese goods and that the the EUs tariffs on US goods are 50% higher than the USs Tariffs on goods from the EU.

They even collect the tax in monthly payments directly from my bank account in the year following my tax filing in April. While it may never be possible to make US income tax this simple, it shows that a developed economy CAN have a simple tax system if there is the political will.
Why do we have property tax since it’s our property? And let’s abolish income tax altogether…. Social Security should not be taxed ! We already paid for that with tax!
The sales tax would be great way to take over income tax. It makes it sound scary with consumer cost, but we just have to change to shopping 1-2 times a month. Bulk store.
That is a horrible ideal. You’d have to dramatically raise the sales tax to make up for the loss of income tax. It’d solely hurt those who make less money.
And we're all consumers. The more you make, the more you spend, the more you spend, the more you pay in VAT. Taxation then gives each of us some choice, no one pays ZERO in taxes.
The IRS isn’t the problem. It’s the tax code that they are responsible for enforcing. That’s like saying defund the police because you don’t like the laws.
If your agency, the IRS, puts virtually NO effort towards customer service, it's because they KNOW that what they are doing is wrong, and a LOT of honest citizens will have complaints about it. Abolish!!
We all people can't believe the one person that ya can't figure out for secretary of treasury to take Mrs. Yellen place cause it's really simple cause there is really only one person that can do that job right. Period.
CPA's and accountants do a LOT more than taxes. In fact, taxes, in most cases, is the lowest on the spectrum they do for clients. This would not put them out of business. A business, Government agency, Non-profit and the list goes on and on, needs a CPA/accountant for many more important things than taxes. The long list of things they do for clients all year to make their business/agency function certainly makes it easy for the end of the year tax season because the tracking has been done all year but a CPA/accountant does not work for a company etc simply for taxes. Now, H&R block/turbo tax etc? Yeah. CPA's/ Accountant? HARD NO
The tax code is insane. First you try to fill out a form but you need a schedule but 1st you need a publication but if you go to the library they will tell you that they won't get it for you then you try to get in touch with the IRS it takes all day and I give up.i try to do it by mail and it takes 6 to 9 weeks. After all this you have to find out what applies to you. Several years ago I just gave up. Now i look at last year's return and figure what % I paid, fill out the 1040 as well as I canand send a check and let them write me a letter.
There is no reason why we are taxing people who make less than 200k a year or wage earners. Why is the federal government taxing social security for retirees?
Let's look at the "experience" side of the tax T-Chart for a moment instead of the hypothetical "education" side. DJT has wisely addressed an extremely minor cash flow item by removing tax from social security income. How about a truly major economic cash flow infusion that seemingly nobody talks about ... which is ... remove the tax implication on the volume of dollars frozen in 401K's in America. Pick a date as the triggering event where all funds in 401K would not be taxed if redeemed by the holder. Those funds would be retrieved by Americans and immediately spent into the US economy. The positive material effect would be massive in contrast to the dribs and drabs coming into the government through taxation. This would serve as an economic incentive at the State and Federal level rather than a detriment to owner withdrawal.
A federal sales tax should be seriously considered whether it’s our current sales tax system or if they implement a VAT way of handling taxes. Simplifying the tax code would eliminate a lot of government waste spent on enforcing the tax laws and time that people and companies spend trying to figure out what they owe.
Replace income tax with VAT. The more you spend, the more you pay. The rich spend more so the rich pay more, everyone gets to pay, no more people paying zero in taxes.
The Federal government shouldn't be collecting revenue from individuals and corporations, anyway. They should only be collecting revenue from the States. The States, or course, would collect from the Counties, the Counties from local Municipalities, and only the Municipality would collect directly from individuals and companies. And doing it THAT way, property tax as the ONLY tax makes the most sense. Forget taxing income or sales.
Can I get a refund for prior years where I’ve had to pay exorbitant amount of taxes? I’ve been poor my whole life and just the past two years I’ve done well and they’ve taken a TON from me. It’s unfair.
No tax for retirees, common sense. Taxing SS, absurd.
Don’t worry, these traitors will sell out social security and Medicare right into their pockets.
I agree on the SS. but many retirees have a lot of income from investments which ought to be taxed.

And we're all consumers. The more you make, the more you spend, the more you spend, the more you pay in VAT. Taxation then gives each of us some choice, no one pays ZERO in taxes.
Defund the IRS, 15% flat SALES tax, problem solved
The IRS isn’t the problem. It’s the tax code that they are responsible for enforcing. That’s like saying defund the police because you don’t like the laws.
If your agency, the IRS, puts virtually NO effort towards customer service, it's because they KNOW that what they are doing is wrong, and a LOT of honest citizens will have complaints about it. Abolish!!
As long as the rich don’t get loopholes.
alot of good comments along with a good video!
Zero tax on capital gains.
We all people can't believe the one person that ya can't figure out for secretary of treasury to take Mrs. Yellen place cause it's really simple cause there is really only one person that can do that job right. Period.
The CPAs would all be out of business... unemployment of the accounting class would skyrocket.
So what's your point?
CPA's and accountants do a LOT more than taxes. In fact, taxes, in most cases, is the lowest on the spectrum they do for clients. This would not put them out of business. A business, Government agency, Non-profit and the list goes on and on, needs a CPA/accountant for many more important things than taxes. The long list of things they do for clients all year to make their business/agency function certainly makes it easy for the end of the year tax season because the tracking has been done all year but a CPA/accountant does not work for a company etc simply for taxes. Now, H&R block/turbo tax etc? Yeah. CPA's/ Accountant? HARD NO
CPAs make a ton of money from business clients. Those aren't going anywhere if the tax code is simplified.
The tax code is insane. First you try to fill out a form but you need a schedule but 1st you need a publication but if you go to the library they will tell you that they won't get it for you then you try to get in touch with the IRS it takes all day and I give up.i try to do it by mail and it takes 6 to 9 weeks. After all this you have to find out what applies to you. Several years ago I just gave up. Now i look at last year's return and figure what % I paid, fill out the 1040 as well as I canand send a check and let them write me a letter.
rich or poor.. 10% flat.. if not that, no tax on income. only tax is sales tax.
There is no reason why we are taxing people who make less than 200k a year or wage earners. Why is the federal government taxing social security for retirees?
Mr. Get on the Georgia property taxe its ruff on old folks.
We all know they are going to keep taxes going…don’t get your hopes up
Let's look at the "experience" side of the tax T-Chart for a moment instead of the hypothetical "education" side. DJT has wisely addressed an extremely minor cash flow item by removing tax from social security income. How about a truly major economic cash flow infusion that seemingly nobody talks about ... which is ... remove the tax implication on the volume of dollars frozen in 401K's in America. Pick a date as the triggering event where all funds in 401K would not be taxed if redeemed by the holder. Those funds would be retrieved by Americans and immediately spent into the US economy. The positive material effect would be massive in contrast to the dribs and drabs coming into the government through taxation. This would serve as an economic incentive at the State and Federal level rather than a detriment to owner withdrawal.
Put people's ss into privatized retirement account untaxed or after taxes.
A federal sales tax should be seriously considered whether it’s our current sales tax system or if they implement a VAT way of handling taxes. Simplifying the tax code would eliminate a lot of government waste spent on enforcing the tax laws and time that people and companies spend trying to figure out what they owe.
Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary would get to desired outcome on income tax.
Replace income tax with VAT. The more you spend, the more you pay. The rich spend more so the rich pay more, everyone gets to pay, no more people paying zero in taxes.
Flat tax or VAT tax . No taxes for overtime work. Man civil workers will be pissed
No income or capitol gains on 401K after the age of 59 1/2
How about a volunteer government that receives no payment works for the people for the betterment of the country
The Federal government shouldn't be collecting revenue from individuals and corporations, anyway. They should only be collecting revenue from the States.
The States, or course, would collect from the Counties, the Counties from local Municipalities, and only the Municipality would collect directly from individuals and companies.
And doing it THAT way, property tax as the ONLY tax makes the most sense. Forget taxing income or sales.
Can I get a refund for prior years where I’ve had to pay exorbitant amount of taxes? I’ve been poor my whole life and just the past two years I’ve done well and they’ve taken a TON from me. It’s unfair.
Make money, pay taxes. We should all pay less taxes but we should still pay some.
