Q NOTES # K+51: Tax Attacks

The first time I heard right-wingers trying to push their so-called Fair Tax plan, I was still listening to Rush Limbaugh on my car radio. Once they're fixated on an extremely shitty concept, the assholes will never let it quietly disappear.

The archaic fair tax proposal basically abolishes the Internal Revenue Service, federal income tax, estate taxes, and other federal taxes. The loss of revenue is supposed to be offset by a national 30 percent sales tax on practically everything people buy, including food and other essential commodities. This would obviously shift the burden of federal taxation from the wealthiest to the middle class.

There's some division among MAGA Monkeys in the House over the radical scheme, but deep down inside, they all know this crap won't get past the Senate or Joe Biden's veto.

Added 6:38 PM Monday: As a change of pace, here's something funny. Last week I read a report that Empty Greene is trying to hustle her way onto the 2024 ticket as Waste of Shit's VP running mate. That's been pretty obvious for awhile, and I'm fairly sure WoS would choose a woman if he thought it would get him elected. It would probably be a woman other than Empty Greene, who wouldn't meet fatso's beauty criteria.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
