US Teens Learn About Taxes


Posted originally on Feb 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

A new trend is circulating on the internet, where parents in the US film their teenagers’ reactions to filing taxes for the first time. The US education system does not require schools to educate students on taxes, despite it being fundamental knowledge for sound financial health.

In 2022, teens with both earned and unearned income were required by law to file a tax return if their combined gross income was greater than $1,150, or more than their earned income (up to $12,550) plus $400. Additionally, if a teen earned $12,950 or more at their part-time job in 2022, they would need to file taxes in 2023. The standard deduction for 2022 was $12,950, so as long as a teen didn’t earn more than that amount, they wouldn’t have to file taxes. Basically, anyone who worked a part-time job was forced to give a portion to Uncle Sam.

Those advocating extreme spikes in the minimum wage do not realize that teenagers will be unable to pay. Moreover, employers will not be able to hire teens and young adults as they know they are there temporarily. These kids do not understand the system, and from a broader perspective, we need a future workforce with hands-on knowledge. Why is the government taxing teenagers who are too young to vote for representation? Why is the Biden Administration hell-bent on forgiving student loans when we are forcing teens to pay on the little that they earn? Everyone wants to talk about “equality,” but few realize that some cannot obtain higher education without a job. Not all parents are willing or able to support their children when they reach 18.

As a result, the youth is not joining the workforce. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a further decline in the teen labor force participation rate, from 34.0% in 2014 to 26.4% in 2024, citing increased school enrollment as a contributing factor. They are encouraged by the system to focus on school and take out larger loans to pay for their expenses. They do not realize that most will be unable to find work in their field of study, nor are they educated about compounding interest on loans.

In 2023, the number of employed 16- to 19-year-olds in the US was approximately 6 million, which is expected to decline. Fewer teens are working and gaining crucial hands-on experience in the workforce. We are producing a future generation of academics who simply do not know how to work.

Yellen Believes People are Better off Post-Pandemic

Yellen Sec Treasury

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is proof that the establishment is completely clueless when it comes to the lives of the average citizen. “People are better off than they were pre-pandemic,” Yellen touted on national news last week. Perhaps she meant to say “politicians” rather than people, and no, one cannot point at rising US indexes and claim that is sufficient evidence that the overall economy is sound.

Yellen is akin to the Karine Jean-Pierre of America’s financial system insofar as her job is to openly lie to the public and convince them that their reality is not as it seems. She holds a high role in Biden’s cabinet and is responsible for overseeing America’s banks, tax enforcement, printing money, and the national debt. She is the bridge between the federal government and the Federal Reserve, acting as Biden’s top advisor. We know Biden is not mentally competent, and it appears his CFO has continually misled both Washington and the American public.

So, what the hell is wrong with Janet Yellen? Her loyalty lies with the World Economic Forum and globalist elite. These are the people making decisions that DELIBERATELY wound their own nation’s economic soundness on behalf of a select few behind the curtain. Yellen admitted that the true reason behind the massive spending on the Inflation Reduction Act was to propel the climate change agenda. “The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity,” the Treasury Secretary admitted months ago. That was one of the largest spending acts in the history of our nation and pales in comparison to the money being spent on foreign wars. All of this spending is intended to meet the same goal of the Great Reset.

Hence, the woman in charge of overseeing national spending is ignoring the debt crisis waiting to implode. When US debt was downgraded, she called it arbitrary and simply disagreed with the data. The government has no plans to curtail spending. Instead, they are taking measures that contribute to rising inflation, therefore reducing the quality of life for the average citizen. Yellen’s recent statement proves that Washington is not concerned about the people, and this inflationary trend will continue.

Trump fined $355+ Million Goldman Sachs $550 million for the Great Recession

Judge Against Trump

COMMENT: If you want justice, go to a whore house.  If you want to get screwed, go to a courthouse in N.Y.

UD

REPLY: That is probably very true. I guess you at least get what you pay for.

This fine imposed on Trump of $355 million, plus interest and penalties, is so outrageous it is furthering the collapse in confidence in the government, which has just become so corrupt and out of control. To put this in perspective, Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay $550 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the whole Mortgage-backed collapse they instigated. The billions of dollars lost by people was incalculable. It resulted in the Great Recession.

The entire world knows this NYC verdict is not just biased; it is deliberately interfering in the 2024 election. If Trump had not been running for president, none of these cases would have been brought. New York City has the most corrupt court system in the United States as well as many third world countries, and this verdict is proof of that fact.

Eighth Amendment

As I said, this verdict is so outrageous, along with the absurd jury award in the Carrol case; New York City is by no means a place to do business – EVER! The world is waking up. As I have said, when I asked a New York Lawyer why no banker ever goes to prison in NYC, his response was:

You Don’t Shit Where You Eat!

New York Governor Admits State Legal Targeting Was Only at Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on February 19, 2024 | Sundance

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.

It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.

(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded. (read more)

F – New York!

Because People Keep Asking

I’m not sure exactly what the motive is behind this, nor do I fully understand how it ties into the FISA-702 renewal effort by the insufferable HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner, but everything negative being said about Michael Shellenberger is accurate.

Trust me, if there’s one person on this planet right now without the time to deal with this nonsense, it’s me. However, from what I can ascertain, Shellenberger is reciting old information dug up by independent researchers on the Spygate operation as it pertained to the CIA, FBI and larger IC.

Shellenberger is then claiming “sources” have confirmed the CIA ran intel operations against the Trump campaign in 2016 using foreign assets and foreign intelligence partners. This is old, old, very old, information being repackaged as if it was new information and sold to an audience for the price of $9.99 subscription. In my opinion, it’s a complete con.

I have no idea who this Shellenberger idiot is, nor do I really care. You cannot plagiarize me because I give all the CTH research and analytical writing away free – openly telling people to take it and make it their own, just don’t monetize it.

It appears Michael Shellenberger is a man of low moral character who is taking the independent research work of others, repackaging it and selling it as his own work product.

This activity is likely because Shellenberger, a leftist, didn’t believe it when the Spygate researchers were tearing apart the preferred narrative and delivering atomic truth bombs in 2017 and 2018.  Suddenly, as the weight of the truth comes forth, there is no denying what was previously proven.   Everything Shellenberger is claiming now is a rehash of old information, repackaged and sold to a duped audience for $9.99 each.

Everything he claims is new, isn’t.  It’s all previously cited, sourced and disseminated information.   It’s pretty low-class to try and dupe people just to make money, but hey… that’s what some people do.

I have two words for this type of operation, and it ain’t Merry Christmas.

Nuf Said.

Moving on…..

Love to all!
