Wrong they don’t vote line item issues you just named. They roll it all into a big bill with a bunch BS spending and privacy overreach then sell it to you as an awesome bill to vote for. Lol

No kidding, Paxton would have won regardless of his endorsement.

Trump is not a conservative, neither is the GOP Party.

Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage is pretty legit too.

I added something too , check this out . He’s getting community noted on x for lying about Massie. Imagine that. 😂 How honorable.

Oh there’s sausage in there but it’s Market Basket Sausage which is pretty good imo.

His voting record is what counts. Nuff said. You still can’t tell me why Trump wants him out because Trump has never said why he wants out besides Massie not voting for crap bills. Massie has always pushed for line item voting.

What a Honor! lol Trump is such a honorable individual!🤣

That’s it?! That’s the answer. Sounds like a follower of Trump answer. Lol

My original post was a copy and paste. I made that known. But the take home pay is not that far off. Neither I nor you know what state this individual is from but the additional things that we are taxed on are legitimate taxes. I made a guess of NC. I believe the reason of the post as I read it was we are taxed to the hilt and not much is left over after being taxed only to be taxed some more when you try to spend what’s left over. Some people are in better situations than others but a lot of Americans are struggling. I will not sit by and be a cheerleader for this administration if basic necessities keep rising in price. I am happy that you are in a good financial situation but I do have sympathy for people whose wages can’t keep up with the inflation we’ve had the last 5.5 years. You can you only stretch your pay so far before it just doesn’t stretch anymore. By the way we will be eating red beans and rice tonight. They’ve been cooking all day in the crockpot. 😎

Now do Lindsey Graham.

Can you answer why he would never debate Massie? I’ll wait.

Well you talk like we are living in Utopia and everything is Awesome!

Well I guess I could flip that question and say show me where all the taxes that are being charged are spent in a justifiable manner and are not be misused . Kinda of a vague open ended question that has countless variables. I would say a good start would be stop spending more than you take in , kinda like most families and businesses do. Don’t forget the tax that is not even voted on - Inflation - for spending more than you take in and devaluing the dollar.

I stand corrected we live in Utopia. Good grief. Smh The insurance I was referring too was health insurance. The numbers posted are not far off. I believe the whole point of the post was there was not much left to live on after being taxed into an oblivion. You are going to tell me that a country that spends 2 trillion more a year than it takes in is a good thing because it’s providing services?! 😂🤣😂 And that’s just at the federal level.

He would have won without Trumps endorsement. I guess Paxton’s check must have cleared Trumps bank just in time for an endorsement for the runoff. Lol

Here’s just quick random google search with him or her living in North Carolina since the post says they were charged crazy toll fees going to Florida. You’re off on your number . These numbers don’t include any money taken out for retirement and insurance. Let’s not forget the other taxes they can and will pay with their take home pay. If you’re going to defend the amount of taxes we pay as just and fair then this conversation is over . Lol A single individual in North Carolina making $50,000 per year will bring home an estimated $39,814 to $40,039 in net pay. This translates to roughly $3,318 to $3,337 per month. The remaining salary is allocated to standard deductions and taxes: Gross Salary: $50,000 Federal Taxes: ~$4,500 FICA (Social Security & Medicare): $3,825 State Income Tax: ~$1,470 The Breakdown 1. North Carolina State Taxes North Carolina has a flat income tax rate of \(3.99\%\). Because there are no local income taxes in the state, your state tax burden is straightforward. After applying North Carolina's standard deduction (about \(\$13,000\) for single filers), you can calculate your state income tax using the following formula: \((\$50,000-\$13,000)\times 0.0399=\$1,476.30\) 2. Federal Income Taxes For a single filer in the 2026 tax year, the standard deduction is \(\$16,100\). This leaves you with a taxable income of \(\$33,900\). [1] 10% Bracket: The first \(\$12,400\) is taxed at \(10\%\). 12% Bracket: The remaining \(\$21,500\) is taxed at \(12\%\). Total Federal Tax: \(\approx \$3,820\) [1] 3. FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare) These payroll deductions fund federal programs and apply to all wage earners at flat rates: [1, 2] Social Security (6.2%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.062 = \$3,100\) Medicare (1.45%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.0145 = \$725\)

Gallrein refusing to debate Massie speaks volumes. There are two words in a person's life that will open a lot of doors for them... PULL and PUSH.

Legalized Theft!!! ( Copied Post) Nothing will radicalize you faster than seeing: Gross Pay: $50,656 Take Home: $32,723 Taxes Taken: $17,932 And that's BEFORE: property taxes real estate taxes vehicle taxes sales tax grocery tax gas tax tolls registration fees insurance taxes & fees capital gains tax interest tax business taxes passed onto consumers They tax you when you earn money. Tax you when you spend it. Tax you when you save it. Tax you when you invest it. Tax you when you own property. Tax you when you die. Meanwhile the average American is struggling harder than ever to survive. And somehow: healthcare sucks roads suck housing is unaffordable retirement feels impossible groceries are insane & the cost of living continues to go up! Absolutely insane!!! Not to mention, I just paid our tolls from our trip to Florida, where we go through NC (tons of tolls there) & our toll bills from FL & NC were over $400! One days worth of driving through NC, was like $120???? How can that be??? Makes no sense to me.!! At what point do Americans stop pretending this is Normal!

He ran his piehole for years saying he knew where the bodies were buried pertaining to Epstein Files, J6 and Russia Hoax. Then when given the chance to make a difference and go after all the scoundrels he wimped out after 9 months. Now his podcast is sucking and he’s just trying to stay relevant. His actions or lack there of proved he was nothing but a Blowhard like Trump is becoming.

He just needs to put up or shut up. Enough of the heroic movie clips.

You know that personally? Lol

Smh….Unbelievable Trump has never addressed China’s role in Covid and now it’s insulting that we don’t accept their 500,000 students? I ask again isn’t China still a communist country?

Well I guess if you think Massie is guilty so is Trump. Stuff like this always comes out right before an election miraculously. Lol And you fall for it. Lol
