mr.yuck Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I’d like to see some one create a computer program that would transfer funds right over $600 back and forth between two personal accounts 1000s of times a day times millions of people until the banks melt or the Treasury Dept melts. Fuck this democratic-fascism. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Fascism is defined as a merger of Government, and corporations. Doing business with a bank will soon be the exact same thing as doing business, and sharing your personal information with the IRS. This is going to fuck the US's already tanking economy much faster, and further than it's already is. People will soon be laid off, or have to quit their under the table gigs, and some will become tax burdens (at no fault of their own) because of this. A huge chunk of our (any) economy is "Under the table", and can't be converted to "above the table" because the cost of that would outweigh the chances for profitability. Seeing lots of people in the crypto space that would otherwise be spending their money here, just leaving this soon to be 2nd world country for good. South/Central America seems to be the spot. Sad shit. I grew up watching poverty in East Germany, from West Germany as a kid, surrounded by military people. The American bases there would often times be the first stop for refugees fleeing Communism. I would have never guessed as an adult, our own government would turn economically retarded like the commies. Moving towards more authoritarianism.

Mercer Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm not sure what you're missing @Kults. The empire here is starting to crack, visibly, and obviously. People with the resources, and awareness to do so are leaving this country to protect their resources, many are setting up communities in other countries. There' starting to spring up in the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands, and most notably in South & Central America. When Rome was collapsing the same thing happened. Romans (that were smart enough) that were well off enough bought large parcels of land in Europe, and left Rome. These large parcels, that were once guarded, and conquered by legions of Roman troops during Rome's peak, were eventually left to defend themselves when the system collapsed under it's own weight. These property owners eventually became Europe's aristocracy. Dukes, Barrons, Counts, etc. Left to defend themselves, they formed their own militaries, and alliances during the the "dark ages" The United States Government isn't designed to shrink, or spend less when the economy shrinks like it is now. In fact, it increases it's spending even more. The short term demand for resources becomes crucial, in fact, so crucial that the government starts shooting themselves in the foot. Businesses, and citizens that would otherwise provide a stable source of tax revenue long term, are seized, even shut down to meet the desperate immediate demands of the government (High Time Preference). This makes long term economic stability impossible. Any financial success makes individuals, and businesses targets for confiscation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, some could argue the Vatican is as well, but I agree to disagree as I consider the Vatican is the Mecca of Pedophilia. But yeah.

abrasivesaint Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Why $600? edit: cant help but find it an odd number given that the stimulus checks were a minimum of $600. Could just be a magic number, the fuck do i know, just thought that was odd at face value.

mr.yuck Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think 600 is the threshold before you are required to pay taxes on money. At least that’s how it works with lottery tickets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Correct, the $600 limit was chosen because transactions over $600 to private citizens are required to be reported already. Any business paying an individual less than $600 annually can still write that off as an expense, and if audited only needs to show the transaction. Anything over that is technically required to be reported either through payroll taxes, or through a 1099 before the business owner can claim it as an expense. Make no mistake, this measure is 100% aimed squeezing out the poor, and lower middle class from performing any under the table work, or things selling say a used car, etc. without the government getting their "fair share". Pulling this type of move against the rich will get your next campaign defunded, but the poor, and middle class are (in general) too stupid to understand what this means until it's too late, and they get a letter from the IRS. Good luck to waiters, waitresses, or anyone else that needs to deposit cash to pay their bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Another fun game would be for everyone in America that deposits cash to file a fraud case against their account saying they don’t know where any of this money came from or who’s been spending it.

Mercer Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I've found that not using/avoiding the banking system altogether is difficult, but the best solution. We're entering into a phase of unprecedented fascism, and it's not what you think. Fascism literally has nothing to do with racism. Racism exists in every governance system that desires it including (especially) in constitutional democracy. Fascism, by definition is where large corporations (banks) and the state conspire to form a symbiosis, it's designed to crush the individual, and any dissent from authority. Why they're doing this now, during "peace times" is beyond me since normally this level of authoritarianism prevails during a major world war, or wartime buildup where all resources go towards the military. My guess is the intellectual weakness of the government educated population. I mean they're probably thinking fuck it, why not, with a population too retarded to understand just how problematic totalitarian systems of corporate/government symbiosis is, and was during the early half of the 20th century (Nazism/Fascism/Communism) in Europe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Lol. I just read a good chunk of this proposed plan. No one is gonna vote this in. There is a large chunk of it that fucks corporations and if the government can’t get money from the corps, it gives them the power to go after individual shareholders to recoup losses on behalf of the corporation. I feel like this is going to bomb into the ground and the Democratic Party is going to use this as “See the greedy Republicans don’t care about the American people,” bullshit that always goes down in an attempt to consolidate power in the house and senate in years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
