Furloughed IRS workers were told in a letter that they will receive back pay when the shutdown ends. That letter came a day after an internal draft memo suggested that the Trump administration might question its obligation to give back pay to some furloughed employees.
Cnbc should have mentioned here that its probably against the law for federal workers to not get back pay due to a law passed in 2019 (also trump administration)
It feels like major media companies are manufacturing consent for this by mentioning that memo repeatedly but not pushing back on it. Not even mentioning the legality of it.
So does this mean we don’t have to pay taxes anymore?
I try to avoid paying most of my taxes, but I recently learned that if my balance hits a certain threshold I could have my passport revoked :/
If you’re a billionaire, you weren’t going to anyway. This means you’ll be able to get away with more.
If you’re not a billionaire, you still need to pay your taxes. This means if you’re owed a refund, you won’t get it.
No. That’s only for rich people. You pay.
It’s unlikely but the person you’re replying to could be a millionaire
Everyones a millionaire these days! You’re not rich until you’re a billionaire! Even the McDonalds part time workers bring home a few hundred million each week.
…what? I’m just talking like any normal human who totally knows the current economic climate would talk like! Thats why we gotta close down all these government handouts like snap and medicaid. It’s free money for people who already get free money, from their stock options, and taxfree offshore accounts. EVERYBODY has those, right???
(In case you can’t tell I’m being highly sarcastic. Does anybody have any bread???)
Do you have pamphlets?
I saw this movie once called Zeitgeist that said that taxes weren’t really legal anyway
As intended.
Time for more tax fruad!
