My spouse keeps listening to

Either a FB or TikTok video of th evil T
Saying he’s going to get rid our is being taxed on
Tips
SS
Overtime
And don’t recall the rest because I tune it out
My theory
I say he will get rid of over time
( he has already said he hated paying it ) so my guess is he will increase the hours you work - so companies don’t have to pay over time this eliminating the need to pay tax on it.

Tips outlaw tipping ( I doubt he ever tipped unless he thought it would lead to something) thus we wouldn’t be getting that tax break
If he gets rid of SS we wouldn’t be paying tax on it

Anyone else have thoughts or ideas on this or the rest of the video I didn’t listen to?
( sorry can’t take his voice plus I have a short memeory if I don’t write things down right then)

That Tariffs will replace the revenue loss from eliminating the IRS/Income Tax.

Since he is a genius I know that he will be able to explain how that will work.

Sadly, I suspect that eliminating SS and Medicare is in their sights. Just a question of what age group will they target to start the dismantling. Young people are truly going to get screwed….
