If you didn't owe the taxes then you wouldn't go to jail. You're not making sense.

People go to jail only for illegal tax evasion. They don't go to jail for using legal tax deductions and credits.
 
Every generation there has generally been a lower turnout in the younger group age 18-25... not just the millennials. I feel like every generation this happens.. people complain the younger one thinks they know it all have it all blah blah blah. Mark my words in about 20 years the same thing will be said about the generations who are currently babies and toddlers. They're young. I can only hope they will grow out of it as they get older... every generation before that have haven't they?

I noticed that many over 40-50 years old are on disability and depends on entitlements to survive, even more than millennials.

As one of those "40-50/55 year olds currently on disability, I can almost see why. Applying for jobs and interviewing most have 2 strikes against right off the bat (unspoken...) Ageism and a bias against disabled- whether the HR/hiring folks are self-aware they are doing the discriminating. It's a triple or more whammy when you add in LGBTQ and race other than white.

I would rather not be on disability (nevermind I'm amazed I even got approved in the first place) but ... hey...as everyone keeps saying right now... it is what it is...deal with it. Gonna keep looking for full time work. Part time may not cut it (too overqualified, possibly still make too much and get cut off...).

I believe if you file for bankrupt so you probably don't have to pay tax, that what I heard.

I'm going to be disgrace if college students complain about our president but they never vote at all, specifically US citizens and immigrants with green card that live in US more than 5 years.

Yes, I know that age discrimination is big issue and it was mentioned in business course, but it is difficult to prove. Also, middle aged people usually have medical issues that prevent them from working. I don't think there is long term solution since businesses know to find way to discriminate potential employees with other reasons than protected classes.

Speaking about SSDI, hearing loss and vision impairment are valid reason and often to get approved without going to court, but hearing loss is accounted about less than 5% of receipents since many people have medical issues and go to court to get approved.

Donald Trump Acknowledges Not Paying Federal Income Taxes for Years did you know that?

Yes, because he didn't owe any taxes during those years. He had legal losses and deductions. It's common in the business world.

". . . Known as net operating loss, it allows an array of deductions, business expenses, real estate depreciation, losses from the sale of business assets and even operating losses to flow from the balance sheets of those partnerships, limited liability companies and S corporations onto the personal tax returns of people like Mr. Trump. In turn, those losses can be used to cancel out an equivalent amount of taxable income.

With a $916 million net operating loss in 1995, Mr. Trump could have avoided paying more than $50 million a year in taxable income over 18 years...."

It is probably short-term hilarious.

One day, you may tell us that Trump is your favorite comedian and you could find a job with $50 per hour for build the fancy walls. :rofl:

What do you think of calexit?
Click to expand...

I would support Calexit to get federal government out of business, also I don't believe that Californians, including your tax money goes to Alabama and Mississippi.

I believe that California will a lot better if run as independent nation, also they will have more money for Californians.
 
After obstruction in federal government, also major issue with US Supreme Court so I believe that US should divide into small regional that run like countries, also military and immigration could be under treaties or agreement. Multiple states could cover as regional that act like federal government, but they will still have state government.

Tom: There is Republic of California Passport.
Officer: Sure, thanks, welcome to Republic of Arizona.

For Reba, sure, you can have Fair Tax in your new country that where SC, GA, AL, MS, Louisiana and others form into separate country, but for me, I will move out before happen like that.
