Ready for those new taxes?

[Ray9]

As this pandemic continues, cities and towns still need tax revenue to operate. Those states with income taxes are going to suffer huge shortfalls as citizens lose their jobs. We may see for the first time in our history taxes on grocery store food items like meat, milk, bread, bottled water etc. The excuse will be that those fortunate enough to have jobs must support those who've lost their jobs.

There are pinheads all over the country who have nothing better to do than to think up ways to shore up governments with new taxes. We can expect a doubling or even a tripling of taxrates on tobacco and alcohol. Wait for it and much more.

Exactly what I have said since day one of the lockdown. States are spending huge amounts and not getting in the normal tax revenues they were use to. Sales taxes, gasoline taxes even property taxes will go up. Not only to pay unemployment but just to get even because of business shutdowns and expense of hospitals running because some will not be paying that bill. California will be in dire straits since their scheme of taxing texts fell through.

It will be a new thing of we as a nation start actually paying for shit we have ran deficit for how long now? The voters have became babies they only want to hear what benefits them they do not want to hear the cost part and our politicians give us what we want. The governement is a lot like my ex wife when we first got married things were tight and that dumb bitch was out buying three 5 dollar coffes per day when we could not afford baby formula. Fuck her and fuck the american public for wanting to live that way.

They'll try to tax their way out of it at first but that can't work so cuts in touchy-feely social programs will be unavoidable.

You can't keep printing zillions without repercussions. This will usher in the one world currency as nations and economies collapse.

Welfare and food stamps need to be done away with anyhow.

We need automatic stabilizers like unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed and a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.

I really don't have a problem with that as long as they don't have one or a few groups pay these taxes. We are all in this together or we're not. Our founders didn't design our system so government can tax people into submission for their desires.

I'm fine with a consumption tax. We all pay it. The wealthy will pay more since they typically buy more, and keep that tax until the funding of this crisis is paid off.

In fact I think we should have had a federal consumption tax long before this virus for the overspending by Congress. If everybody had to pay for what we spend, you'd see how fast support for green energy, free college, paid time off, reparations would diminish.

The reason many people don't care about spending is because in most cases, they are not the people paying for it. Very few have a dog in the race.

Why do you or I need to be paid if we're willfully unemployed? You do get unemployment if you're laid off.

And now more than ever. At the end of this month, the feds are kicking in an additional 600 bucks a week on top of your state unemployment check. That means if you are getting 400 a week from the state, with the feds, you will be making $1,000 a week. Many blue-collar workers don't make that while working.

When you consider taxes, it's comparable to somebody who makes 60 to 65K a year. Do we really need that much???

As long as they are not anti-democracy regressive taxes.

Are you saying the 9 states that don't have income taxes will jump for joy?

No. In those states you will pay almost as much to register your car as you did to buy it.

Texas has no state income tax and we pay around fifty bucks to register your vehicle a year.
