re: Who pays the tariffs?

We manufacturing most of our products ourselves; however, the stuff we cannot make is bought primarily from Asia (used to be China) where they pay slave wages and are not concerned with all the damage to the ecology.

To make this in the US and following the laws, would cost way too much money. Some of our behomuth "competitors" make this product in the US, but is very little and done just to appease certain customers.

Either way, it is something the consumer wants and ignores the damage it does when there are different but better options.

I don’t believe politicians from either side of the aisle would give up income taxing the citizens, because they use income tax laws as a way to influence and control the populace, while destroying the nuclear family.

So you'd eliminate the step up AND still tax the overall inheritance?


Yes, once the assets become liquid, then tax the income. If we’re going to tax income, let’s tax income, even if a relative paid taxes on it once before.

Taxes aren’t low, it’s just strategy. When you have assets, you take out loans, you are now paying off debt, which isn’t taxed. It’s not like they are getting W2’s


And, when you die, your family gets a step up in basis on the collateral, the kids sell the assets, pay off the debt, and there is no tax consequence.

I don't mind the living off the borrowing; I do mind the step-up in basis on assets (e.g., land, stocks, etc.). Here is the funny thing. If you inherit your mom's IRA, you must immediately start taking the RMDs, and it is all taxable - granted, no early withdrawal penalty...yeh.

Tax the CRAP out of that money...even for the legals sending it back.
The Left does not have an independent thought amongst themselves, goosestepping in unison on every vote.

While the picture is somewhat appreciated (just for following the rules if not the quality), a link would be nice.

Any stories about conservative Christian girls going to the lion's den and coming out alive to help ease my worries?


My daughter played college soccer and stayed in college way too long to become a teacher and couldn't be any more conservative. My son, moved to ATL and went to GA Tech, is an engineer, and is gay, and couldn't be more conservative.

Still don't understand the gay part...too smart and good looking...ugh.

Look where the fricked up trans bullshite it got us.



Even the "normal" gays think the "trans bullshite" is bull shite, per my gay son and his "friend."

There is no way this is true - that these guys are making $200k per year


I am working on a tax return for a mid-40 y/o Border Patrol agent in a small town in Arizona, and his 2025 W2 was $160k. He was contributing 11% into his 401k plus contributing to a Roth IRA, all without a mortgage.

So, $200k is not a stretch for one in a larger city.
Agreed...

The one time you don't want to make a grammatical or spelling error is when you call someone else "stupid."
Won't even attempt to read a wall of words...try separating into paragraphs if you want someone to read it.

He's divisive, which is probably his worst flaw

But we'd still be very divided. I blame it on "the algorithm" and think it was going to be inevitable. He may have accelerated things a bit.


Obama drove a wedge between blacks and whites, and the Left and their "media" drove a wedge between the parties. All you have to do is look back at how the Left and the "media" reported Bush/Dick Chaney, Romney, and McCain as evil with regularity - Iraq was only due to Bush greed, Romney going to "put yall back in chains," etc.

Then, when Trump had the gall to push back, the Left and their "media" imploaded. It only feels to many that it was Trump...it was not. He just made sure the crap was thrown from both sides when he did not act above the fray like most Republicans have done in my lifetime.
I think he was legally justified; however, I’m not sure if it was absolutely necessary to shoot. She was going anywhere, and she would have easily been charged (not necessarily convicted in MN).

If you are paid with a W2 or receive a high total of 1099s, they will eventually find you.

A brother of an employee of mine decided to quit filing due to his and his wive's overspending, even though he was a truck driver of a company and made about $90k a year.

Once the IRS got around to him, he contacted one of those Tax Relief businesses. They charged him a good bit to consider his case and then declined, because he made too much money.

He recentely gave his house back to the bank and moved into a rental and has a $700+ monthly payment to the IRS.
