What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?

For a senile person, Biden did right by increasing the IRS budget to go after the top earners who criminally evade paying their taxes. But the House Republicans killed the funding to protect their donors. That leaves the ordinary citizen to pick up the slack. 

By the way, he didn't create this inflation and taxing doesn't add to inflation. What it does is bring down the deficit which helps a heck of a lot to fight inflation. But try telling that to people who don't want to listen.

@mtrot I brought up California because it invariably comes up when taxes are discussed and someone shoots off about how there's no income taxes in Texas. In fact, I'd wager that here, on A'gon, it's de rigueur and a casual look at past threads will prove it out. Just wanted to cut 'em off at the pass. Everyone enjoyed the silence.

When you think of it, imagine how much your contribution would go down if you did have a state income tax. If the top 1% paid your rate, yours would come down, considerably, all things being equal. Might even ease up on the property taxes as well. So many ways to reorganize and reorient priorities.

As for the "everyone's leaving California in droves" meme, that's been beaten to death here already. All states have ups and downs with those moving in and others moving out. If that were really true and indicative of a real, trending and permanent thing, then I'm all for it. In fact, when you do leave California, take a friend.

And that's one reason why it's nice to live in Texas with no state income tax!

Tell me where California ranks when it comes to taxing it's citizens and, get a lead of the breakdowns.

Uh....make that the top 1%. I had forgotten just how far they've come.

1) Nope. Nowhere near the top 10%

2) No, I'm down with the other 229 Million who support them.

1) Rather confusing sentence (expected)

2) What is your point?

No one in the top 10% ever says that. They just smile and live their lovely lives knowing you're taking up the slack.

Oh look....skypunk, errolflynn jerry just had another of my posts deleted. Must have woken up from his meds midday nap and read it.

@jcoehler I completely forgot about that one!

We've got some thin skinned snowflakes here. Post a correction to a bunch of misinformed (and I'm being polite) talking points and it gets deleted. Well, it was up long enough for everyone to read so there's that.
