Sooo… Voluntary extra taxes? You know, you could just tax the mega wealthy. Although something tells me some of this would go to them anyway with how easily they seem to throw that shit around.
I shouldn’t be mad since it’s mostly going to be people that are incredibly stupid that are going to do this, but I would prefer those said people were at least buying stuff that’ll put the money back into the economy instead of having it disappear into the ether. I’m not an economist, but i bet that even if every average American that is middle class or below put in all their money it still wouldn’t even put a dent in it.
I saw elsewhere that if every man, woman, and child in America paid in $12.1k, we could eliminate the $4T Trump just added to the debt.
Bet that money doesn’t go towards the national debt
Why doesn’t he ask his billionaire friends?
Steve Bannon was pardoned for fraud for pocketing the “donate to build the wall” stuff. Wouldn’t be surprised if this all just goes to Trump Jr’s cocaine fund.
It will be funny to see if somebody does the “if you care about the national debt so much, why not pay it yourself?” line.
That’s embarrassing. Not that that’s new lately. But yeah.
Yeah bro I’ll just venmo you five trillion dollars no biggie
Can you just cover all 37 trillion for us? Thanks
The Treasury has run this program for years, and people have donated $67.3 million since 1996
Are donations into that pot at least tax deductable?
Send a request to Theil Bezos and Musk. Done and done.
Yet another distraction from Trump being a serial child molester.
I’ll skip the dozen obvious reasons why this is comically stupid, but imagine if this strategy did some how significantly reduce the debt - they would just pass another bill giving more tax breaks to billionaires.
Contributing to this is just like buying something from amazon without receiving the something.
It’s a trickle fetish.
Conservatives immediately turned into beggars lmao
“Time for the liberals who wanted higher taxes to pay up”
Conservatives are dumb freeloaders.
Don’t forget to tip the tax man
Haha yes, he’s definitely 100% going to put any money people Venmo to whatever account they’ve made towards “paying of the national debt” (pronounced /ɛmˈbɛzlm(ə)nt/)
