we have permanent overtime approval
I think technically there is a ceiling, but I've not bothered to look at it
since my effective tax rate is ~50%
it's never been worth bothering imo
guys, I'm actually retarded
I immediately forgot step one of my plan
and was getting all excited about this newfound $25k I was getting
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 uh, I need to legally get married right now I think
Hi
you make to much Regi
sorry
though the thought of us jointly filing taxes
I think the entire IRS would activate
So wait what exactly is the thing?
oh if I might count, vinny totally would
Found your new husband Spooky
I am shittalking you and your dollar tree job vinny
but apparently it did not land
so now I have to be a bigger asshole and explain I was doing it
Trump's bill removes taxes on tips (which means all non-tipped jobs paying <$20/hour are FUCKED)
and removed taxes on overtime pay (which also doesn't really help people making <$20/hour, but really helps everyone else)
Insert the clip of ethan Ralph screaming that his superchats are tax free
because no one understands how taxes work, no one will realize this however, because people still don't understand withholdings and marginal rates
people still think that if you get more money and it puts you in a new tax bracket you lose money and thus they refuse a pay raise
people know nothing about taxes
I know a lot, since tax season is the time of the year the government sends me 1-2k
I still am mildly lost. How would the bill help you when married to someone with no income, or was that part fully a joke?
I might just be dumb
so, taxes 101
when you are married all the tax brackets are essentially doubled (ignore the exceptions)
(if you file jointly, which you should be)
so while I don't qualify for the no-tax overtime as a single guy, if I was married to an effective rock, I would
and technically, I'd get more than just $25k due to other marriage rates being better, but the new Trump bill would immediately give me $25k/year for essentially nothing
I see
See now pika’s joke makes sense
No my joke made sense regardless, all you needed to know was
- low income person works
I didn’t understand the joke because I didn’t understand the whole thing
Vinny, quit the Dollar Tree
that'll show Pika up
and he'll have to eat his joke
plus, ngl this bill actually kinda fucks you
through 2028
well yeah, poor people should die is usually how these bills go
the funnier part of the bill Pika
is Ted Cruz, the texas guy
snuck a secret paragraph into the bill
which steals the Challenger Space Shuttle from Virginia
and no one read the bill, or had chatgpt read the bill
before signing it
lmfao
so after it passed, he had a big public "fooled you all" party
So does he actually get it
legally, yes
but so, the thing is
it's impossible to move the space shuttle now
Honestly, more of these bills should just sneak insane things in, since no one reads them
when they moved it to Virginia (which I got to watch as a kid)
they disassembled the orbiter afterwards
so it cannot be moves anymore
and also, it's owned by the Smithsonian, so congress doesn't have the power to give it to Ted Cruz anyway
it's just a really funny, ballsy thing that happened
That’s hysterical
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and no one read the bill, or had chatgpt read the bill
didn't they read the entire thing out loud for 15 hours?
yeah but who the fuck listens to that
so
1) I don't think that counts
2) Cruz wrote it in code
politicians just sign what they are told to sign

I read this
because Vinny asked me about it, and I knew nothing about it
This was like 5 years ago or something
