This is exactly why activist politicians struggle in leadership roles. They treat job creators like political enemies instead of economic partners.
Seattle's mayor literally campaigned on an anti-Starbucks platform and called for a public boycott of the company right after getting elected. Now, predictably, the business environment has turned toxic. Starbucks is executing a massive $100 million expansion in Tennessee, taking thousands of future jobs and millions in tax revenue with them.
When you tell major employers and employers "bye" when they raise economic concerns, don't be surprised when they actually leave.
So stop taxing income, end IRS & tee up repeal of the 16th Amendment by flipping the tax base to 350+ million consumers that includes foreign visitors, temporary visa holders & illegals. Put in a citizens standard deduction. Set total tax burden at 0% each month until you spend above a data defined minimum making taxes mostly optional. HR25 FAIRtax https://t.co/2ihFpPIjKo
@greendragonhq I hope this is a joke. What incentive do you give high earners to keep earning, if you transfer 93% of their wealth to an inept govt wrought with fraud.
Why is it always a demand to transfer wealth to the govt. Do they spend it better?
Leave the wealth in the private sector
@deaflibertarian well, the government needed to underwrite 9 billion dollars in fraud that they never clawed back. so, thanks for your participation.
Income tax will always punish success. and the government will use your wealth to buy votes and pick their winners. it's disgusting
@heresyfinancial C'mon man. Flat tax? Not as progressive as @FairTaxOfficial which, un-taxes the poor and moves the power from the govt to the people. Please look into this before you post. It may change your mind
@LauraJo89865001@ByronDonalds This question is worth 20 points:
Provide a detailed explanation on why Byron Donalds is opposed to eliminating Florida's property tax. Show your research and cite your answers
@CAgovernor did you print money to do this? if so, that's a real crime. but i think what you did, is confiscate wealth from successful earners and redistribute it to whoever you chose (voters). bad, governor, bad. I think you peed on the rug. you failed econ 101 with this post
@BitcoinPulseX and then it will be corrupted and Americans will go back and there will probably be a rebound to it, to bring them home. never trust anyone even this guy to un tax you. you will never be free. you are the service
The FairTax @FairTaxOfficial (H.R. 25, FairTax Act of 2025) eliminates federal income, payroll, corporate, estate, and gift taxes plus the IRS, replacing them with a single 23% inclusive national retail sales tax on new goods and services that taxes spending (not earnings) so everyone keeps 100% of their paycheck, broadens the base to include tourists and underground economy, removes loopholes, and provides a monthly prebate (universal rebate based on family size times poverty level times tax rate) to make necessities tax-free up to the poverty level, making it fair.
@DrKarlynB This is a dumb post man. There are a few reasons why. 1. you paid 10k more for no reason. skeptical of that. 2. you earned more which caused your tax rate to increase. but you didn't share that, so we have no idea if this is true. 3. you're lying to get views
