Taxes

The past year has been a rough one for the wild hot takes of The New York Times’s phony economics savant Paul Krugman. His ridiculous record on the state of the economy under President Joe Biden makes it hard to see how he still takes himself seriously.

The New York Times fawned over a wealthy “tax me please” European heiress in “This Heir to a Fortune Wants It Taken Away for Fairness’ Sake.” Emma Bubola’s loving “Saturday profile” piece bubbled over with a strong undercurrent of sympathy for guilt-ridden leftist economics: "By the time her extraordinarily wealthy grandmother died last month, Marlene Engelhorn already knew who she…

When it’s time to report on inflation, it’s almost like President Joe Biden becomes the new “He Who Must Not Be Named” in liberal media circles. Taxpayer-funded PBS failed to mention him or the Democrats even once during an over 7-minute special segment on inflation.

Politico appears to believe that the mountains of cash that taxpayers dish out to the federal government belong to President Joe Biden’s own “wallet.”

Leave it to the clowns at The Washington Post, Politico and The New York Times to make the tyrannical Internal Revenue Service seem like a victim of those darn congressional Republicans.

Bloomberg News blamed Republicans for not giving the IRS enough money or support just days after the Democrat-run Congress passed horrendous legislation that will give the agency 87,000 additional agents and an $80 billion bankroll to boot.

It's a common response you hear from supporters of big government tyranny when someone complains: “if you don’t break the law, you don’t have to worry.” On Sunday’s NBC’s Meet the Press, instead of speaking truth to power he decided to defend it and tell people that if they pay their taxes and don't cheat, they don’t have to worry about the 87,000 new IRS employees the Biden…

The Democrats passed another massive and damaging spending bill over the weekend that economists say will make inflation worse. But according to CNN Newsroom host Pamela Brown on Sunday, President Biden is “one of the most legislatively successful presidents in modern history.” She even got combative with former Trump campaign advisor David Urban and essentially demanded that he adopt her spin…

Happy days are here again was the mantra Monday for the broadcast network morning news shows following the Senate’s passage of the massive spending boondoggle, deeming it a “landmark,” “sweeping,” and “hard-fought win” for President Biden as Democrats hope to win the midterm elections. This was despite the fact that, tucked inside their exuberant segments, not only was President Biden barely…

Friday’s broadcast network morning shows were in a jovial mood as they celebrated a “big win” and “milestone” for America as President Biden and congressional Democrats are set to vote on their “historic” and “massive economic plan” they claim will lower inflation, help save the planet, make prescriptions cheaper, and increase taxes.

Want to pay no federal income tax? Move to Puerto Rico. Really. If you move to the island, you can legally pay none. There's also no capital gains tax. You just have to give 4% of your income to Puerto Rico. The tax break was started by a Puerto Rican politician who'd watched years of high taxes fail to improve life on the island. He decided to try something different.

Thursday’s CBS Mornings followed yet another segment extolling Kansas voters for defeating a pro-life referendum by similarly cheerleading leftist spending in Congress through the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” and fretting that Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “could torpedo the whole plan.”

In Washington things are rarely what they seem. It’s why Congress labels bills with names they think will be more palatable to the public rather than a name that would accurately reflect the content of the legislation. Notice how many times over the years the word “civil rights” has appeared in legislation that often has had little or nothing to do with civil rights. Now Democrats have junked…

Did you know that in some states, if you miss one tax payment, local politicians will take your home, sell it and keep all the profits? Really. Tawanda Hall was behind on her taxes. She was on a payment plan but had missed $900. She didn't expect Southfield, Michigan, to take her entire house because of that. It was worth $286,000 more than what she owed. “I'm still in shock,” says Tawanda…
