The Tax Man Cometh: Funding Our Overlords
The Tax Man Cometh: Funding Our Overlords
What A Difference 86 Years Make!
This clever meme is six years behind the times. There were 22 million foreign nationals residing illegally in the United States in 2018. In 2024, we can assume there are about 38 million illegal aliens residing in America and the great majority of them are being supported, in whole or in part, by Americans’ tax dollars.
IN 1938 INCOME TAX WAS 4% FOR EVERYONE
My husband and I were molly whopped and gobsmacked to discover that the tax rate for income taxpayers was only four percent in 1938.
You see, last week we came upon his mother’s 1938 1040 tax form. As you can see, it was a one-page, two-sided piece of paper. We recognized his mother’s handwriting. So simple was the tax code that the “tax preparer industry” had not yet been created. In 1938, Alice Genevra Crow, age 23, was working as a dental assistant earning quite a decent income, $1,086, given that the average annual income in 1938 was only $515. Minimum wage was $.25 per hour, that is, $520 a year. My husband & I find these figures quite intriguing in that women were grossly underpaid vis a vis men during that era.
Miss Crow’s personal exemption was $1,000 and, combined with the “earned income credit,” her tax deductions exceeded her income. Thus, no tax was due. Not even the pitiful four percent. Take note: employers were not required to deduct taxes from employees’ paychecks until 1943.
Had personal exemptions kept pace with inflation, they would have and should have been about $21,301 this year. Prior to President Trump’s Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017, the personal exemption for each single filer was only $4,050. Beginning with tax year 2018, the exemption was replaced with a $13,850 standard deduction. This greatly reduced the tax burden for low-income Americans, especially renters, at the expense of upper-income filers, but it is still much too low, in my humble opinion.
As the above meme implies, no income earned by Americans should be used to support foreign nationals who have invaded our nation.
THE UNITED NATIONS IS MAKING PLANS TO TAX AMERICANS WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST OF TAXES AMERICA’S OVERBEARING OVERLORDS ALREADY CONFISCATE FROM EARNERS. I REPEAT, THIS IN ONLY A PARTIAL LIST OF TAXES:
AMEN! When politicians court voters by promising to GIVE THEM MORE BENEFITS, they are BRIBING them and encouraging them to NOT WORK. To BE LAZY slobs and demand even more.
The government can't GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU DIDN'T WORK FOR that it it hasn't TAKEN FROM SOMEONE WHO WORKED FOR IT.
Your RIGHTS are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The BIll of Rights spells out specifics, such as speech, religion, assembly, gun ownership, etc.
NOT free healthcare, free housing, free food, free education, free abortions, free transportation, free child care, etc. Those are NOT RIGHTS because OTHERS have to provide them, which infringes illegally on THEIR RIGHTS.
We shouldn't have to explain this to anybody who took social studies in the USA!!!
We'd be deluding ourselves to imagine that it is only Democrats behind this, or that they are doing this for purely ideological or political reasons. U.S. business has always had an insatiable appetite for unskilled laborers who have no options other than to put up with whatever abuse their employers dish out. There's a reason why neither party in Congress (when in the majority) ever adopts any rational immigration policy: a great many U.S. industries, along with global industries doing business here, want to keep illegal aliens illegal. And the reason we're no longer allowed to say "illegal alien" in polite society is not due to some faux respect for the aliens; it's because our reminding ourselves of the fact that they're here illegally would lead us to also contemplate the fact that they're being employed illegally - by their equally criminal employers: "Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?" https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal
