      I'm pretty sure they're already getting 30% from my gross. Plus I somehow owe them an additional few grand every year.

        That sounds just like taxes, but with extra steps.

          Wouldn't it be more effective to make the wealthy and corporations pay tax?

            Its funny because the largest holder of US debt is social security. So most of the debt is owed to the workers. You are paying the money back you borrowed in the first place.

                The US Treasury Department is now accepting Venmo and PayPal payments from those who want to donate money to reduce the nation’s ballooning $36.7 trillion debt.

                We're all just trying to find the guy responsible!

                    Someone posted elsewhere that this is a program that’s existed a long time, not from Trump, which would make it disingenuous to report on it as though its brand new.

                              The new stuff is accepting payments in Venmo and PayPal.

                                So the US tax code is switching to a "Pay what you want" model?

                                Rich people: "Switching?"

                                  Speaking of, anyone else find it funny (read blatantly obvious) that you cant choose a tax amount this year on your W4? Used to be able to select withholding amount, now its just "We'll figure it out for you". I bet they were afraid of everyone marking 0 this year.

                                    As of Q1 2025 US household debt was $18.2 trillion dollars. This is like a guy who lives in a van down by the river asking a homeless guy to help him make his van payments.

                                        Even worse - a guy who lives in a big, white house asking it of a guy who lives in a van down by the river.

                                          Except you already pay taxes this is just to bleed the poor dry faster, qnd drip barely anything towards the debt so they can claim the finances are fine, to keep the real government happy, investors.
