So now DOGE has removed all these costs, will Americans not have to pay any taxes anymore? That's the conservative claim right? That taxes paid for all this stuff and Liberals were taxing everyone super high for it...

...so now taxes drop to zero for EVERYONE? Right?

    oh, they'll still have to raise taxes on the lower half of earners, strip essential services bare--if they continue to exist at all, and pile on trillions to the national debt for that.

    adding debt is 'free money' to them. not like they gotta pay it back..

    They are planning on replacing income tax with a sales tax via tariffs. I wish I were kidding.

    "They" are also pushing for a cashless society. Having an RFID chip in your hand will get you all your necessities and non participation won't. Mark my words. If someone told me this a few years ago I would have laughed.

    Seriously where are all the conservative Christians that were so afraid of barcodes. These guys have turned revelations into a check list, but it's okay because he's "your" guy?

    The conservative Christians I still talk to (that number is getting lower and lower each year) believe Trump is the third coming of Christ and that he cannot do any wrong.

    These people are smart in many other ways except in this area.

    They believe it's an over reaction. That it's overblown. It's fake news.

    I like taxes like I like my Costco membership. I get a better deal if I go in with others and buy in bulk. Even if I don’t use all the same goods and services as others.

    Getting rid of corruption and grifters siphoning value out of a system is a much better goal than “saving money”

    This is half a trillion less extracted from the public

    Only for those willing to risk violating tax law, and by extension mostly people who feel like they can afford enough accountant and lawyer time to evade consequences if they come.

    IRS also publicly said they would only be doing easy enforcement, i.e. only doing audits on lower income people who can't drag it out and make it expensive.

    So basically giving a green light for the rich and only the rich to keep the money they owe..
