I once thought that Slo Joe would prop up the financial markets as Obama had done in 2009-2016.
The Federal Reserve evidently felt that Slo Joe was not Obama and began to ratchet up interest rates. No more free money, the markets went into a swoon, but that did not stop the Administration from spending money. ( We spend $399 billion to service this debt. )
So we now have inflation and rising interest rates.
Ironically, like President Trump, I will pay no income tax due to market losses exceeding income. I don't find that to be comforting.
I am sorta confused......wouldn't an EXCEPTIONAL ACCOUNTANT CHANGE THE EQUATION? i have always understood that the goal was to break even...not letting the government utilize your money for free(paying u no interest)..we try to ride the edge.....owe/refund LESS THAN thousand dollars...but then we r not in MILLIONS(plural)status
This conversation reminds me of how uninformed and ignorant people like Elizabeth Warren are. She’s always spouting off about taxes has no clue as to what is legal and what is tax evasion.
How can we remodel the U.S. tax system to prevent Trump and other wealthy tax cheats from continuing to make a mockery of it? And, going beyond the individual case, egregious as it is, how can we use what we have learned to make the tax system fairer?
After reviewing years of Trump’s returns and speaking with independent tax experts, I am convinced that there are three imperatives. First, we need to strengthen the Internal Revenue Service so that it has the
capacity to hold accountable serial tax avoiders like Trump and to deter would-be imitators. Second, we must eliminate loopholes in the tax code that serve no economic purpose beyond sheltering the riches of
the financial élite while depriving the federal government of much-needed revenue that would aid other Americans. (This shortfall amounts to upward of four hundred billion dollars a year, according to some estimates.) Third, we have to introduce broader changes to the tax code for an economic era where the rich accumulate vast amounts of untaxed wealth, and where inequality has reached record levels.
AS I have stayed before.......change the paradigm,close the loopholes...NOT THAT THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTIME SOON.
