We have a problem…
Average retired couple Social Security benefits: $38,500 a year.
Max Household Welfare Program Value: $80,000 a year.
Retired Americans who paid taxes their entire lives can get less than a household of illegals.
Americans are robbed and abused.
So wrong.
HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000?
Did I sell it? No.
Did I receive $362,000? No.
Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not.
But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more.
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.
This isn’t income.
It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account.
It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number.
If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash.
If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more.
So why does owning a home work differently?
WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED?
A house isn’t just an investment.
It’s where people live.
You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper.
At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH.
And people are starting to notice.
Women who falsely accuse men of rape should face the same prison sentence that the man would have faced had he been convicted. That would put an end to these rape hoaxes immediately. Which is why it will never happen.
Congress doesn't have a revenue problem. It has an addiction to spending. Real reform means cutting waste and capping spending.
My Six Penny Plan does just that by cutting six cents from every $1 the federal government spends. Our budget would be balanced in five years.
The government continues borrowing more and more money, with no end in sight.
We need my Penny Plan for gradual and effective cuts to balance the budget. All it takes is cutting six cents from every $1 the federal government spends.
The national debt has passed $40 trillion. My Six Penny Plan balances the budget in five years by cutting six cents out of every $1 the federal government spends.
Americans balance their checkbooks. Washington should have to do the same.

Very strong words from Denny Hamlin on Actions Detrimental about Corey Heim getting jumped by members of Chad Bryant Racing at Martinsville:
"Those [expletive] cowards waited on Corey Heim to leave his car and leave his team, and then jump him while he was on the way to his hauler. I don't know who's in charge of NASCAR Regional, but there is absolutely no way that any of those guys should be in a pit lane for the next year, at least.
"And I want them to say publicly what they do to them. And if it's nothing, I will have a major problem. But none of those cowards should be in a pit lane in the foreseeable future."
No other agency operates in as much secrecy as the Federal Reserve. Their decisions impact every aspect of our lives and fuel inflation.
It’s time to audit the Fed and shine a light on the backroom deals, risky policies, and unaccountable spending that have fueled our soaring national debt.
If you ran Washington like a business and had to cut 6% to stay afloat, you'd start with the fraud and duplication, then make even, across-the-board cuts. That’s not radical. That’s how every business survives.

My heart is broken this morning to the news on Darrel Waltrip! He was my teammate for (19) years and DW, @mikejoy500 & I stood shoulder to shoulder for (15) years with @NASCARONFOX in the broadcast booth and without sounding arrogant, I’m confident what we did with #NASCAR race broadcast will never be duplicated again! More than anything he became a very close friend! Our thoughts & prayers go out to him, Stevie & their entire family! We Love You Guys! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
The Federal Reserve operates in near-total secrecy while its decisions hit every American's wallet through inflation and interest rates.
Americans deserve to see what is actually happening behind those doors. It’s time to audit the Fed.
