No, don’t want it
Lots of words flyin’ around the sphere about “tax refund” for the American people, considering all the waste that is being exposed by DoGE.
Me, personally, I don’t want it. Take that ‘money’, since its all accounting entries anyway, and PAY DOWN THE DEBT.
But, to do that, you have to get CONgress involved, as they are the keepers of the pursestrings. Thats the sticking point here. All of this money was appropriated by the very people in power and now, we see just how corrupt the whole system is
and we want them to fix it,,,
Thats a problem. I am sure that I am not the only one to see where this falls flat on its face in stoopidity,,,, The issues of the system are the system itself, and they have been building for decades. Things we have all long suspected are being shown to the light, but that doesn’t actually fix anything.
My proposal. Declare a “Reboot”, all sitting CONgress critters and supposed Representatives, have 6 months to campaign for their seats. If they can hold them in a re-election bid as a reboot of the system, then they do so. We need to restart the system with fresh meat that isn’t beholden to a system that encourages corruption. We need to get back to the days when our Representatives and Senators were paid PER DIEM, not salaries, with lifetime benefits and retirement packages. They were only paid for the days they spent in DC doing A JOB, not building career and stealing wealth. There are states that are still running with that setup, where the state reps don’t reside at the capitol, but remain home until there is a Session in place. They live among those that elected them, not 1000’s of miles away in an echo chamber of corruption.
but to return the original subject: Revenues, misplaced line items of financial resources, Untraceble book-keeping entries to nowhere,,,, Obviously these things need corrected, but I don’t want a refund. That money is gone in my eyes. A simple refund seems more like a bribe to shut my mouth, than a return. More like an “oh, we’re sorry we got caught, here, have some cash,,,,” You really want to help the people on the street out? Abolish the IRS tax codes, hell, eliminate the entire agency with exception of a few hundred accountants to track what is incoming. Make the Tax code a flat rate, say 4% (an arbitrary number pulled out my butt.) across the board. Make it an honorary system, paid once a year, JUST BEFORE ELECTION DAY, not mid-point between dates. THEN: the next years Federal Budget is established by that years tax receipts. If you can’t make that work, figure out what needs cut back,,,, DO THAT, and watch your revenue stream GROW because people will be more inclined to grow themselves and their incomes.
This is where we need to be looking: OPTIONS, discussing them in open forums, directing attention to them in the represenatives we currently have. I was watching a debate recently where Haulley(Sp?) was calling for ALL representatives to Divest themselves while in office. I listened to counter arguments by Rand Paul and both have good points, but the damage is already done: THE PEOPLE don’t trust our representatives to ‘do the right thing’, and with good reason. The evidence grows on a daily basis why we shouldn’t. The frame work is solid, we just need to strip things back down to barebones and BE PROACTIVE IN KEEPING IT THERE. We have no excuses now, with the internets and social media giving us real time input and discussion. Yes, those things can be co-opted and manipulated, but with enough people onboard, that gets MUCH harder to do.
((( side note,,, the SSN’s with people aged 100+ up to 369yo,,,, I saw where some guy on youtube was saying some 300yo person was upset that he was losing his SSI thanks to Trumped,,,, The ‘influencer’ even talked about how some people have been collecting SSI since the CIVIL WAR!!!! Where do these people come from????? ZERO credibility and yet, they have followings!!! When I see shit like that, is when I just want to fold up this blog, throw my hands in the air in disgust, then just start randomly shooting at “Stooopid!”,,,, ONE more reason, like we needed another, to abolish the Department of Edoookation,,,)))
I’m gonna shut my trap now,,,, my little sidetrip there just showed me (as if I needed it) just where the problem is,,, its not JUST in the halls of CONgress, its the IdJITS that actually think there are people nearly 400 years old that have been collecting SSI since this countries inception,,,, The same people that actually think SOCIALISM is a functional mode of governing,,,, HOW does one combat that shit? Education is a start but the returns on that are decades out and we have to tear it all down to rebuild it within a FINITE framework (and that will be difficult because there are current teachers that believe the same crap,,,,)

We still have so much more to ‘fix’,,, and things are barely scratching the surface right now. It feels so overwhelming,,,, At least we know now, where a lot of the problems are, and MAYBE those in CONgress can get their clues from the public and get to straightening things out BEFORE we go full bankrupt and irrelevant on the world stage.
