Racist tax code

In an effort to get you folks "woke", I thought I'd present this bit of journalism gold.

Yeah against middle class white people who work.

^^^ THIS ^^^ agreed

I don't recall the box on the 1040 that asks my race, or a worksheet either for that matter.

It's all tied together with the welfare system that was designed to keep blacks voting Democrat. Thank you LBJ.

This came up on a NPR economics podcast I listen to, and the interviewer, a vet who I consider to be pretty smart, just did the bobble head thing “oh, I see, that’s terrible”. No critical thinking applied, whatsoever. It was physically nauseating.

The herd is gathering speed, I reckon the cliff isn’t far off....

this. . . . . LBJ was the most overtly racist president to ever occupy the white house. His "war on poverty" was designed to put black folks in a position where they were / are dependent on the government for almost everything and will thus vote democratic for generations to come. The fact that they have to mostly live in shi* * * holes is of no consequence.

"The federal tax code does favor married couples where one partner makes the lion’s share of income; it disfavors those with more of an even split. The former scenario has historically been more common for white couples, the latter for Black couples..."

Gonna hoist the BS flag on this. If you file jointly then it doesn't matter which member earned what since it is combined and the total is taxed based on income and then deductions are taken into consideration. And NOWHERE on the 1040 does it ask race. Nobody knows or cares what the race of the person filing is and since taxes are on the combined total the entire slant of this article is GARBAGE!

Hey! Somebody actually read the article. Thanks.

I listen to a lot of NPR. There's a reason it's called programming, lol.

The tax code is racist. Ok, then holding a job and having taxes taken out of your paycheck before you see any money is racist too.

Seems fairly racist to me but not in the way the writer intended.

"Research shows, the higher the percentage of Black neighbors, the lower the value of the house."

Now why do you suppose that is?

There’s a great pic on the Me-Me thread about this.
Hilarious.

It is racist, but not in the way they imagine.

I listen to NPR when I need a dose of pomposity or feel the need to be talked down to.

It has not helped me get rich. I also believe that there should be mandatory drug tests for anyone on government subsidized living with a one year limit or less for that aid. Actually, 6 months would be more appropriate. The POS get on the government tit and live that way for the rest of their lives while you and I support them and their 14 dirty little kids.

Love the title,

"The tax code helps white people get richer"


It implies all white people are already rich, and it just keeps getting better....on the backs of the poor black married couples.


GMAFB.

While I understand and support the first amendment, the time is about here to do something about the unadulterated horsechit that is now disguised as journalism. I can’t recall one single statement in the referenced article that is factual or accurate. A lot of folks will eat it up, however.

If my wife and I make 500k, there won’t be a dollar’s difference in the amount of income tax on it whether we make 250k apiece, I make it all, or anywhere in between. If the author believes otherwise, her parents would be wise to get someone more intelligent to do their taxes.

Excellent. Now where did I leave my race card?

I must have some Black DNA in me somewhere, I never did get rich and that must be the reason..

I want my reparations

I woulda retired 10 years ago if it weren't for the tax code. I am a victim!!!!!!!!!

Always put other on anything that ask race. None of us are 100% white!

Then I don't think we should participate.
