Who pays federal income taxes?

New IRS data shows the US federal income tax system continues to be progressive: https://t.co/uJwi062v50

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 46 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most anticipated and acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect.

Interesting. Considering the damage this is doing to the young men in our country, would taxing it limit its exposure? Or would it just be a money grab for the government?

If all 50 states established legal, open, statewide sports gaming markets, a 10 percent tax on gross gaming revenue would generate an additional $1.6 billion per year in tax revenue.

@CHoltSports Gold and green are my all-time favorite ones, but the powder blue isn't bad.

I’ve walked past the Liberty Bell replica many times at the state capitol but now I have a new appreciation for it. https://t.co/FZrP36phgi

Sometimes people think following Jesus Christ means having everything together first. But when you read what He actually said, it’s the opposite.

Happy Tax Day!

It’s good to remember that the Top 1% of earners pay 46% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% of America pays for just 2%.

Having to go through and fill out taxes is perhaps one of the most barbaric things our society still allows.

We put a man on the moon in ‘69. Computer chip invented in ‘58. First mechanical calculator in 1642. Figure it out people.

Happy Tax Day! Here's a look at what the "Beehive Family" (an average Utah family) is paying in taxes this year: https://t.co/CQVNB0Ok1w #utpol

Taxpayers pay for the fields. There should be some free access for community use.

[Riley Jensen @RileyJensen]

No one wants fields ruined.

But locking every gate 24/7 on a beautiful day and punishing every family is the lazy solution.

Utah law (§53G-7-209) already says these taxpayer-funded fields & tracks shall be civic centers for community use. Let’s enforce rules, add cameras/signs, schedule open hours, or use volunteers — not zero access.

Kids need places to play catch with Dad, not more screen time.

Smart solutions > blanket lockdowns. Let’s fix this.

A thread with more than you want to know about the Utah Legislature's 7-week General Session that just wrapped.

First: There were an absurd number of bill introductions (1,016), but only 540 bills passed--which would have been absurd 15 years ago but is now average. (1/11)

[Billy Hesterman @billyhesterman]

From @JaredWalczak on Utah’s SB 287: “Taxing advertising on social media platforms won’t address any concerns lawmakers may have about how some people use or misuse social media. Instead, it will increase costs for Utah businesses advertising to their potential in-state customers.” https://t.co/UhMBAvrANO #utpol
