I just wanted to show a breakdown I did this evening to combat a typical lefty argument against the no-taxes on less than $150k plan:
First, you need to look at just what taxes would be cut... not all. In fact, not even close to half. Let's mathematically break this down: (referencing data readily available at fiscaldata.treasury.gov) - 2024, the federal revenue was $1.86 Trillion... ~51% was from individual income taxes (whereas 7.6% was from corporate taxes). Now what percentage of individual tax came from those making below $150k - this is a bit of a harder number to actually come by... exactly. However, one can infer what it would be with some other data points... for starters the top 50% of the country pays 97% of the taxes. SO where is this 50% line? Well, the median family income is $89k - and one can find many sources showing 14.4% > $200k and 9.5% for those between $150 and $200. So that is indeed only ~25%. So, for basic logics math lets just remove the 3% that the bottom 50% pays - or add it back in aftewards. So we say taxes are mostly paid by the top 50%, and of that top 50% only half of that is then over the Trump $150k. But wait.. we also know that the top 1% of the country pays 35% of the taxes, 20% is paid by the next percentage down to 5%... so thats 55% just from the top 5%. If you follow this down its clear that only 15% of the taxes are from those making between $89k and $150k. Convient time to add in the 50% (those below $89k) for a grand total of 18% of the Individual Income Tax Revenue will be cut. So lets apply that to the GDP - $1.86 Trillion - 51% and then 18% of that = $170 Billion.
Now enter the new ERS - think we're getting $170 Billion in Tariffs (or savings from countries removing non-recipricated tariffs on the US)? I would say this is a resounding yes. So when I look at the tax cuts up against the numbers it makes perfect sense and the families that fall below the countries median income of $89k will benefit BIGLY 🙂
Reciprocal tariffs and energy exports are the way towards lowering the national debt.Trump's plan is sound any way you look at it. And then you couple in the side-effects of companies bringing manufacturing into the US and the economy will be BOOMING!!! Unless the crooked DC dems and rino's screw it all up because Trump is breaking their cookie jar.
Now... how about we bring DOGE into it. Now, even if the ERS and the income from exports and tariffs weren't going to reach the expected loss of $170 Billion do you think that could be accounted for in other ways? Maybe in DOGE found saving? Do the sheeple know that funding all of these wars and such in other countries by the $-hungry DC war machine (using Ukraine as example of course) could equate to the loss of that tax revenue?
Just a lengthy argument I'm having with a friend - maybe it'll help someone else here explain the same to some liberal friend of theirs.
NCSWIC!!!
A little background - I have been having a conversation with an extremely intelligent gentlemen on a private discord channel. Its taken me down some amazing paths and self-reflection. That being said the continued argument divulged recently into him posting back a bunch of quotes of mine taken out of context, but there are some GEM's in there and I thought I'd share. Generally we write large multi paragraph reasoned out posts and replies. My stance has always been that of corruption being the biggest issue while recently he has taken to comparing Trump to Hitler... needless to say, we are not the same:
“…the media lying to you and sowing devision on behalf of their Deep State masters”
“…parroting what the media has told you “
“… Pizzagate was real”
“Some will never wake up”
“Russiaphobia fear porn”
“…the wacko's on the left...”
“…the LGBTQ+ crowd - thats most of the left, right?”
“…the nutso's on the left…”
“…hypocritical lefty REEEEEEEEEEE over nothing”
“…libtards…”
“…sheeple…”
“”Everything against Trump has been fake …”
“…all lies and fake dribble against those who have seen through the deep state corruption”
“Pres. Biden hasn't uttered a cognative (sic) word in years.“
“…their sources are lying …”
“…sham trials…”
“…jackass…”
“…kamaltoe…”
“…cheating and fraud…shenanigans…”
…”you are brainwashed and fooled…”
“…Trump has been right about everything... everything. You have a brainwashed-by-the-media view of Trump”
“…bleeding heart sheeple…”
“…fake as can be … the left is bad…”
“…knockers on AOC…”
“…libtards…”
“…the scammed left…”
Re. Democrats: “… pedo …clueless parrots …”
“…brainwashed …dumbasses … idiots… sheeple …”
“… the left can’t meme …”
“…the far-left, liberal, democrat parties …”
“… ALL of the cases against Trump are[ ] based on BS... all of it.”
“…Biden showered with his young teen daughter…”
“Trump has been right about EVERYTHING.”
“[Shifty] is a slimeball … proven liar”
“… Jack Smith is a corrupt SOB”
“Trump…is the most honest person to step foot in DC and it’s driving the corrupt lefties and the brainwashed sheep crazy”
“… "peer reviewed" then proven later to be crap - good scam going this "peer reviewed" system thats for sure... not all but much is very corrupt and $ based”
“… comedian president of Ukraine …
“… the dying left … fantasy world … blatantly false … fake … duped … ”
“… the left has been brainwashed …”
He used those to paraphrase my whole stance" ”Yes, it means that you get your information from the lamestream lyin’ corporate media! It is all lies! Leftist woke fuckin’ Pelosi lies! You’re all idiots! Pathetic pizza-eating tree huggers. Leftist gender-changing pedophile leftist idiots, that’s what you are!” - needless to say that doesn't reflect my quotes above and I feel our conversation might be dying - I'm chalking it up as a win and hopefully his rage can be refocused into actually digging into some things to see past his media blinders.
Please feel free to use any of these at will any time!

I do not mean to offend anyone and I'm really wanting to see if others here are in a similar headspace regarding religion... atheism being one - that's it.
I have been here for quite a while - both this amazing site as well as the headspace I want to describe. I firmly believe (due to facts and not faith) Q was most likely a military operation or part of it and still is and the posts are used by those in the know for communications (continued proofs sans-new-drops). I completely respect anyone's choice to believe in a god(s) but find the same spiritual enlightenment from the natural world without this. I have been through Christian churches, and I was quite involved in a Christadelphian Ecclesia in my early 20's for a couple years - it resonated with me because of not believing in the trinity and just that Jesus was a man - a very good man, indeed to Christadelphians as they believe he was the son of god. I don't find myself conflicted in the slightest regarding Q and truly enjoy the site and everything in it. I have never and would never discuss this in anyone else's post regarding anything religious and have never mentioned this once here before now.
If anyone would like to see what I am even talking about or do not actually know what atheism is I would recommend starting with a book... The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I'm not saying I agree with all of Dawkins, but its a good place to start if interested.
I can go on about most of the founding fathers and their adherence to separation of church and state and the changing views of Thomas Jefferson really make think he was either close to being atheist or just was in hiding... sure, its ridiculed today but back then it was even questioned if an atheist could be called a citizen. Everyone knows about Einstein, Carl Segan, Stephen Hawkins and a countless list of other intellectuals that "believe there are believers" but do not themselves, like myself, believe in a personal god. There is a direct quote from Einstein on the matter: "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."
I spent years going to bible study through late teens and early 20's, I then read the bible like a book... and then I read it like a book after being introduced to the Christadelphian church - with the added benefit of translating many words directly from Hebrew and Greek. It reads very different when you replace a supernatural Satan with what the original word translates to... "adversary" in EVERY INSTANCE in the old testament. But this still included too much dogma for me to get past I think and it took years to even consider atheism.
I used to say I had the "Rudy" answer - in the movie Rudy that is... Rev. John Cavanaugh gave the statement "There is a god, and he isn't me" - but that was just a cop-out for me to not have to dive into the matter.
I didn't actually come to the conclusion of actual Atheism until the last few years even. I find no conflict in enjoying religious artworks, idols, and sayings of any kind. I enjoy both "In God We Trust" on our currency just as I enjoy the Buddha statuette in my office. However I am also in awe often of just what can be destroyed in the name of gods.
Is anyone else in this same place?
WTF? I have only been to the .win until something linked me to the other today... where my account worked. I'm sure someone can explain it in a comment?
Trust Barr and then Barr backstabs? Or was the old Trust Barr meant for the deep state to see? Like an announcement of "Hey, Q, Q+, Anons trust Barr" as bait? Could Barr be playing a role as a white hat here? Was he used as a tool by Q & Q+ ? Was he known to be easily controlled by the deep state? Announce that you trust him while knowing that you actually trust him to be corrupt? All part of the trap?
I'm enjoying this part of the Movie... NCSWIC!!!
