#American taxes

[bitchesgetriches]

hi bitches! Back in April, I left a full-time job that was awful for my mental health (retail hell), and then the next month I started the process of moving out of my emotionally abusive mom's house. Now, I can't find my W-2 form from that job (I'm not 100% sure if they sent it before I moved out, but it's getting closer and closer to Taxes Due time and I really hope they didn't send it to my mom at the end of the year). What do I do? Is there a way to go online and say "hey I need you to send me this form and I need you to send it to a different address than the one you have on file"?

Hey honey! The IRS has instructions on how to get your lost W-2 here. Unfortunately, it sounds like you will need to contact your former employer.

American conservatives are so used to boot stuck in their throats that they'd really support our terrible fucking tax system over a much easier system that literally everyone else uses without issues, how much further beyond parody can they go

[un-perro-vago]

This message is for all Americans who pays taxes and believe in Palestinians Rights:

I'm not someone who wants or has hope in asking things strictly from Americans, especially when it comes to emergencies in other countries. But this time, I'm reaching out because what's happening in Palestine is beyond terrible—it's insane, it's inhuman.

So, please, check out this website Taxpayers for peace

The U.S. is one of the big money behind this genocide. And I want you to be outraged about how your taxes are being used, to keep protesting and contacting your respective political representatives, please.

Every contribution matters around the world, but personally, I believe cutting American funding for this massacre is essential.

All reblogs are appreciated.

From now on I'm gonna tag my posts and finish them with:

This is where the American taxes go

Cause rather than taking care of their health care, lowering Insulin prices, forgiving the students debts, increasing the quality of their education, helping the poor, lowering rent.

Or if we gonna go internationally then help with world hunger and starvation as Yemen children are dying everyday, stopping wars "rather than financing them", help with discoveries and diseases cures research, help cities with natural disasters, try to solve the refugees issues from Syria and other countries, help the Iraqis they ruined their country and killed thousands for a false claim.

But no, they use the tax money paid by businesses & individuals not for the sake of the tax payer to give the tax payer a better life but to finance a war in which the apartheid is given money, guns and ammunition against the poor who only fights with rocks for years.

They give tax money to a terrorist state that bombs other countries for merely helping the poor side.

But what did I expect from a country that wouldn't stop selling guns when they have the highest rate of school mass shootings?

Finally

This is where the American taxes go

🤔 … obviously ‘tongue in cheek’ but so very true!! — respect for what? Really? Tony? — perfect quote! — June 13, 2024.

By: Colin Tiyani Anderson, Artist/Digiral Fabricator, from LinkedIn …

“Isn't it refreshing when someone tells the truth? Honesty is how we start addressing racism, inequality, fascism, ecocide, and the climate crisis. Now that Mr. Blinken has admitted that the U.S. and Israel recklessly flout international law, maybe we can move forward.

Obviously, Mr. Blinken was referring to the countless times that Israel and the U.S. have acted like Wild West outlaws. But which aspect in particular do you think Mr. Blinken was referring to...

Was it the fact that Israel and the U.S. were both founded by terrorist zealots?

Was it the fact that the U.S. genocide of Native Americans killed millions of innocents and that now Israel is committing genocide in Gaza?

Was it the fact that Israel continues to occupy Palestine while the U.S. continues to occupy Samoa, Hawaii, and half of Mexico?

Was it the fact that both Israel and the United States practise kidnapping and torture schemes in gross violation of international law?

Could it be because U.S.A. is the poster-child for regime change? In DOZENS of sovereign states including Guatemala, Honduras, Chile, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Philippines, and Indonesia it has used terrorism and hit squads in order to install fascist dictators.

Or possibly, it's because both the U.S. and Israel continue to aggressively attack the independence and integrity of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, clearly illustrating their lack of respect for the law.

As a lawyer, Mr. Blinken is undoubtedly fully aware that Hamas is LEGALLY resisting the Zionists’ criminal occupation of Palestine. Under the Geneva Convention, the occupied have a legal right to use deadly force against an illegal occupation. Additionally, the occupiers have a legal duty to protect the people that they are occupying. As long as they illegally occupy Palestine, they have absolutely NO legal right to defend themselves.

After this surprising contrition, Israel and the U.S. need to start obeying the bloody law. Peace is impossible without justice for Palestine.” … 🤔

Please Mx. IRS, please just let me do my taxes. I promise I don’t want to cause any trouble, I just want to tell you the numbers you already know so you don’t arrest me!!!

[ribosomeraisin]

something important that I want to add here - the Free File program linked above, which is a partnership with third party tools, is a great option - but what the tweet is referencing is a NEW program where you can file directly with the IRS. Direct File debuted last year, and while it expanded this year, is still available only if you’re in certain states.

If you’re in these states I really encourage you to try out the Direct File program!! Popular use and user feedback can only help the program grow.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #26

July 5-12 2024

The IRS announced it had managed to collect $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth tax cheats. The program focused on persons with more than $1 million in yearly income who owned more than $250,000 in unpaid taxes. Thanks to money in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act the IRS is able to undertake more enforcement against rich tax cheats after years of Republicans cutting the agency's budget, which they hope to do again if they win power again.

The Biden administration announced a $244 million dollar investment in the federal government’s registered apprenticeship program. This marks the largest investment in the program's history with grants going out to 52 programs in 32 states. The President is focused on getting well paying blue collar opportunities to people and more people are taking part in the apprenticeship program than ever before. Republican pledge to cut it, even as employers struggle to find qualified workers.

The Department of Transportation announced the largest single project in the department's history, $11 billion dollars in grants for the The Hudson River Tunnel. Part of the $66 billion the Biden Administration has invested in our rail system the tunnel, the most complex Infrastructure project in the nation would link New York and New Jersey by rail under the Hudson. Once finished it's believed it'll impact 20% of the American economy by improving and speeding connection throughout the Northeast.

The Department of Energy announced $1.7 billion to save auto worker's jobs and convert factories to electronic vehicles. The Biden administration will used the money to save or reopen factories in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Virginia and retool them to make electric cars. The project will save 15,000 skilled union worker jobs, and created 2,900 new high-quality jobs.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reached a settlement with The Appraisal Foundation over racial discrimination. TAF is the organization responsible for setting standards and qualifications for real estate appraisers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last year found that TAF was 94.7% White and 0.6% Black, making it the least racially diverse of the 800 occupations surveyed. Black and Latino home owners are far more likely to have their houses under valued than whites. Under the settlement with HUD TAF will have to take serious steps to increase diversity and remove structural barriers to diversity.

The Department of Justice disrupted an effort by the Russian government to influence public opinion through AI bots. The DoJ shut down nearly 1,000 twitter accounts that were linked to a Russian Bot farm. The bots used AI technology to not only generate tweets but also AI image faces for profile pictures. The effort seemed focused on boosting support for Russia's war against Ukraine and spread negative stories/impressions about Ukraine.

The Department of Transportation announces $1.5 billion to help local authorities buy made in America buses. 80% of the funding will go toward zero or low-emission technology, a part of the President's goal of reaching zero emissions by 2050. This is part of the $5 billion the DOT has spent over the last 3 years replacing aging buses with new cleaner technology.

President Biden with Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a new agreement on the arctic. The new trilateral agreement between the 3 NATO partners, known as the ICE Pact, will boost production of ice breaking ships, the 3 plan to build as many as 90 between them in the coming years. The alliance hopes to be a counter weight to China's current dominance in the ice breaker market and help western allies respond to Russia's aggressive push into the arctic waters.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.1 billion for greater rail safety. The program seeks to, where ever possible, eliminate rail crossings, thus removing the dangers and inconvenience to communities divided by rail lines. It will also help update and improve safety measures at rail crossings.

The Department of the Interior announced $120 million to help tribal communities prepare for climate disasters. This funding is part of half a billion dollars the Biden administration has spent to help tribes build climate resilience, which itself is part of a $50 billion dollar effort to build climate resilience across the nation. This funding will help support drought measures, wildland fire mitigation, community-driven relocation, managed retreat, protect-in-place efforts, and ocean and coastal management.

The USDA announced $100 million in additional funds to help feed low income kids over the summer. Known as "SUN Bucks" or "Summer EBT" the new Biden program grants the families of kids who qualify for free meals at school $120 dollars pre-child for groceries. This comes on top of the traditional SUN Meals program which offers school meals to qualifying children over the summer, as well as the new under President Biden SUN Meals To-Go program which is now offering delivery of meals to low-income children in rural areas. This grant is meant to help local governments build up the Infrastructure to support and distribute SUN Bucks. If fully implemented SUN Bucks could help 30 million kids, but many Republican governors have refused the funding.

USAID announced its giving $100 million to the UN World Food Program to deliver urgently needed food assistance in Gaza. This will bring the total humanitarian aid given by the US to the Palestinian people since the war started in October 2023 to $774 million, the single largest donor nation. President Biden at his press conference last night said that Israel and Hamas have agreed in principle to a ceasefire deal that will end the war and release the hostages. US negotiators are working to close the final gaps between the two sides and end the war.

The Senate confirmed Nancy Maldonado to serve as a Judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Maldonado is the 202nd federal Judge appointed by President Biden to be confirmed. She will the first Latino judge to ever serve on the 7th Circuit which covers Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Bonus: At the NATO summit in Washington DC President Biden joined 32 allies in the Ukraine compact. Allies from Japan to Iceland confirmed their support for Ukraine and deepening their commitments to building Ukraine's forces and keeping a free and Democratic Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. World leaders such as British Prime Minster Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praised President Biden's experience and leadership during the NATO summit

OP: What is the one thing that broke your mind when the Americans came in? Let's talk about it and see if it's different.

Cnetizens and tiktok imigrants begin to exchange facts mainly in clothing, food, housing, transportation, and people's livelihood. They realized that things were very different from what they had heard before. So they call it 对账单dui zhang dan, lit. checking accounting items with eachother (a chinese accounting term). XHS has a trending tag 中美对账 (chinese and americans check account), if you click in it, you'll see a lot of posts both by cnetizens and tt imigrants. And most cnetizens are shocked by what americans told them, and vice versa.

video translation cr 阿美莉真卡

Cnetizens comments

Some Cnetizens don't believe it and feel that the Americans in the video are trolling, these Cnetizens say that when they were studying and working in the US, they saw many Americans were doing very well, living in nice apartments or neighborhoods with villas. Other Americans tell them that it's because either these people's parents are just rich, or they became upper middle class by working hard. They explained to cnetizens that the state runs on debt and loans. If you get a great job at a big company, then you can work for a few years and pay off your loans all at once and your quality of life leaps and bounds, and a lot of people have succeeded that way, so there will be people who keep trying. But if you lose your job, can't afford to pay those taxes that last a lifetime, deplete your savings, and can't pay off your debt, you're likely to lose your house and become homeless.

And then this is how Cnetizens comforted Americans

Yesterday Israel bombed Lebanon for reasons like "Hezb Allah are trying to get into this war and help Hamas".

Hours ago Egypt got bombed again but it wasn't by the borders this time no, they hit Taba, a city in Sinai Egypt, 5 were injured and damage was done to a residential building because of the "rocket".

This is where the American taxes go.

[dragon-champagne]
