Thanks Dementia Joe for more taxes. I am sure this money will be spent wisely. Cough *Ukraine* cough.
Starting on Jan 1, 2022, we're required by the IRS to collect your full 9-digit Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) in order to issue a Form 1099-K to everyone who sells $600 or more.
Guess they found work for the 87,000 new IRS agents and it will not be going after the rich. What a surprise.
An ebay storefont can be very profitable ebay isn't just for garage sales, you also have value added items someone else does work on an item and sells the results
People running their own businesses are rich enough to pay their full income,
So you are saying all people running their own businesses are rich? Tell that to those who are working 7 days a week, possibly 90 hours a week to keep their businesses running. They also are pouring every dime they make back into the business. Eventually (after 2 + years) they might be able to afford to hire 1 or 2 employees. During the pandemic who do think kept the businesses open in order to hire back their employees? Many of those “rich” business owners went under…never to open again.
I didn’t say not to pay your FICA. We have to grin and bear it. My issue was with the terminology you used.
” People running their own businesses are rich enough to pay their full income…”
Thousands of small business owners ARE “living paycheck to paycheck”, especially during the unnecessary Covid shutdown! Small business owners doesn’t necessarily equate to being “rich”.
So your problem is that you do not want to admit how rich you are compared to everyone else
Oh woe is me, my small business collapsed but i still have enough assets that i can sell off to survive for over a year,
If you are in negative income keeping the small buisness alive over your well being is a personal choice, most small business owners are smarter than that
No, not “rich” by any means. I’m just not one who is afflicted with wealth envy. I’m retired, but nothing in my life kept me from becoming “rich” if I had chose a different path in life.
You’re really hung up on this “rich” thing aren’t you?
Nada! No “50k income”. To use your reasoning, everyone in the U.S. is “rich” (there’s your favorite word again). This includes those who are in poverty and dependent on the taxpayers subsidies. Even those who make less than $15,000.00 yearly are better off than 3rd world countries.
”What are the current poverty thresholds?
Some 2021 poverty thresholds were:
$13,788 for a single individual under age 65
$16,400 a household of two people with a householder 65 years or older with no children
$27,479 for a family of four with two children under age 18”
Those above are “rich” compared to 3rd world countries.
Yes, people living in the United statescan survive on much lower sincome than people ouside of america, due to our capitalist economy which puhes the prices of nessisary goods down,
You are still rich, just not the richest person in the United states
Don't go after the departments that lose a couple trillion dollars a year and have no means of tracking where it went. Instead try to triple tax items people resell. The inflation tax is of coarse the second tax.
Hopefully that fucking "cough" of yours will develop into something more dire.
Then you can hope all that insurance you've been happily paying for kicks in.
Oh wait ! You're Russian ! I have no idea how your system works. Maybe they'll put you in a penal colony and you'll work off the rest of your life and you'll thank your Russian overlords for the privilege.
Or even more likely, you've buddied up with the people in power, having been such a dedicated operative, you can assume they'll take you in and pet you like a dog until they shoot you through the head because you are a drag on the system.
And you will appreciate how well they stuck with the paradigm. Being used like pawns in an autocratic game is exactly what you admire. Until you start shooting up innocents and throwing bombs in public places. That's more your wheelhouse.
Sorry. I just get so fed up with the wanton lies and abuse that goes on here.
I've been worn down from trying to be a thoughtful and rational master debater (haha), then just to start throwing bombs at all the ugliness that is allowed here.
Fun for some people this is fun - But Not For Me.
They're writing songs of love But Not For Me
A lucky star's above but not for me
With love to lead the way I've had more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
High-Ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me
