Wouldn't it be more effective to make the wealthy and corporations pay tax?
Blasphemy!
Right? How dare them?
Worse - socialism, and possibly Marxism!
Are there any women here today??
All i said was "that meal was good enough for Jehovah..!"
I'm so saddened I got down voted for my life of Brian quote from uncouth mouth breathers who didn't recognize it.
Straight to jail!
I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.
The debt of the nation are the income and assets of the 1%. They don't want the debt to disappear.
I don't think that is the case
It has more to do with 50-100 years of reckless spending
So the US tax code is switching to a "Pay what you want" model?
Rich people: "Switching?"
Ultra Rich: "Pay?"
Honestly it would be cool if Americans could choose how their money is used. Have a base tax plus you choose 3 programs out of 10.
How is this real?
We've gone off the rails
That sounds just like taxes, but with extra steps.
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.
It is voluntary
US government loan forgiveness 🤣
Might as well start a GoFundMe at this point. I heard people nowadays will throw tons of money at fascists.
The news is basically free Only Fans where I get to see Americans get fucked by their government.
Can’t buy yaoi on steam, but this is somehow totally acceptable and inoffensive.
I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
I think those donations were from decades ago. Apparently the likes of Copeland's "church" needs staff to bring boomers to the front so it looks like loads on tv
I want to see who donates. they can't make something like that and then not let us laugh at whoever does it
If I had venmo I'd send a dollar so I could have a laugh with my friends tbh
I feel like it would be better to stop creating even more dept...
sorry, liberul the Child Fucker High Score has no breaks and neither does the national IOU. Excuse me, I have some national park land to go sell
For those who didn't read the article:
The donation program has existed since 1996, with a total of $67.3 million contributed — an amount that remains negligible compared to the federal debt.
The only new thing is more convenient donation methods.
Better to just burn the money; at least you can keep warm that way, maybe cook some hot dogs.
I'm pretty sure they're already getting 30% from my gross. Plus I somehow owe them an additional few grand every year.
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.
In Bill Lumbergh's voice: If every American could just chip in $100k that would be greeaat.
Shit! I want to donate but I blew all of my money on Trump's recent trip to Scotland.
Just wait a bit until his NFT takes off
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!
Franklin D. Roosevelt?

She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

Feel free to do your part and spread this info around so it is never “lost”.
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.
