MAGA Mike says no aid for Israel unless billionaires get tax cuts

Talk about shitting your bed.  After three weeks of incompetence, you come out of the gate with this?

My question is whether Israel actually needs that funding. A lot of that money is to go to defense systems like Iron Dome. Are they working? Hamas is firing hundreds of rockets--and they're hitting.

 

Israel has the complete capability to render Gaza uninhabitable if it wishes to. This isn't a military problem.

 

All that said, the RepubliQ's tactics are shameful and no doubt indicative of how things are going to go from now on.

Billionaires dont get tax cuts in the MAGA proposal- they just get away with tax cheating.   

 

ANyone who bitches about the deficit while simultaneously advocating an environment to encourage tax cheating should not be taken seriously.     And you can add this pillar of ridiculousness to their widely unpopular stance on abortion, social security, Ukraine, and election integrity.

 

The new speaker is a real gem.

Big on "law and order,"  "hang'um," and "throw the book at 'em", until it comes to rich tax cheats.


The top 1% of taxpayers pay 42.3 of all federal individual income taxes.  The rich fair share, in the opinion of Libs who pay little, is 100%.  Of course that won't be enough as you guys will demand more free shit.

Are they working? Hamas is firing hundreds of rockets--and they're hitting.

 

Israel’s Defense Ministry claimed the Iron Dome successfully intercepted 97% of all Palestinian rockets fired during one weekend surge of Gaza fighting last year, while the system recorded a 95.6% success rate during a rocket attack by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in May.

I didn't say what had happened in the past. Those attacks were very limited compared to what's happening now.

 

You need to break your habit of citing "statistics" that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

This isn't about individual income taxes, stupid. It's about corporate income taxes, which were slashed in half by Trump, adding over $2 trillion to the federal deficit.

 

Of course, taking away IRS funding will enable rich MAGA tax cheats, both individual and corporate, to get away with tax fraud. That's what the RepubliQ wants.

This is not a tax increase, it's about collecting the taxed owed under the current law.  Are you arguing that the rich should be allowed to cheat on their tax bill because they already pay so much in taxes?

He seems to be.
