Appointed likely lesbian and anti gay rights Republican Senator Martha McSally of Arizona has introduced a bill called the TRIP Act, which would give Americans a $4,000 tax credit if they take a vacation at least fifty miles from their homes within the United States. This would apply to travel costs, lodging, and entertainment – such as strip clubs and gambling.
Join tax filers would get $8,000 plus $500 per kid, so a family of twelve on welfare would get a $14,000 write off on the thirty dollars of annual taxes they owe.
Interestingly, if you own a vacation home, the TRIP Act stipulates that you could still write off the travel to your home and the entertainment on your vacation – because some people in this country are really hurting.
I first discovered the TRIP Act on Fox News. It was written by a woman named Marisa Shultz, who seems like a capable journalist, yet I’d be bereft to not include this snippet from her article:
“A tax credit directly reduces the amount of money Americans owe to the IRS. So under the legislation, if an individual tax filer owes $15,000, for example, to the federal government in taxes next year and the person had spent $4,000 on a qualified trip, then the tax bill is reduced to $11,000.”
If you ever wondered if Fox News is consumed by an especially stupid demographic of people, the answer is yes. You can call CNN biased all you want, but the readers don’t need to have a tax credit explained to them – as it is extremely common knowledge, and self-explanatory – but they can also subtract 4 from 15 and deduce the correct answer.
Anyway, Marth McSally, like all Republicans, routinely decries the concept of socialism while engaging with it on a case by case basis – making her a hypocrite and someone who panders to retards who don’t understand what socialism means.
McSally is extreme in her views. She opposes raising the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 an hour, because that would be socialism.
She opposes the Affordable Care Act because of socialism, and she opposes public schools, stating that she “wants the federal government out of the education business”, which doesn’t bode well with her experience, as she claims to be from a disadvantaged background, yet attended a prestigious private school in Rhode Island in her youth and still doesn’t know what socialism means.
The point of this bill is to stimulate the economy, and has some support within the Trump administration, who are in favor of doing anything to let people with an extra ten grand in their bank account take a break from their stressful lives, on the government’s dime.
McSally is also reportedly drafting a few additional bills in addition to the TRIP Act.
The CHOP Act – which would allow a tax credit for anyone who owns their own helicopter to write off repairs or upgrades – such as to the sound system or to buy new aviator shades while flying.
The MAID Act – allowing a one time payment of $1,200 to any household with at least three maids to upgrade the attire of the maids to vintage French Maid regalia.
The EPSTEIN BAR Act – allowing a one-time tax write off to any male who was personal friends with Jeffrey Epstein to seek counseling from a fake TV doctor, such as Dr. Phil, at any Manhattan bar of their choice – so long as it carries Belvedere vodka.
Donald Trump and the Republican establishment have their made anti-socialist agenda a major point of their rallying cry to a large swath of America who dry clean their soiled mumus with Cheeto dust and think Hulkamania is not contagious enough to wear a face mask.
In reality they support socialism for the wealthy and not for the poor, for whom it would benefit most. Their fluidity on the subject and concurrent implementation/condemnation is nothing short of disinformation and propaganda.
The Trump Administration recently enacted the CARES Act – which gave $1,200 to most Americans. Maybe it was a good idea, but it’s socialism.
Not one Trump supporter complained about it. Perhaps they cashed their checks meekly and donated the money to restaurants which proudly refuse to serve Mexican food, but more likely they’re a bunch of stupid assholes who don’t process their own thoughts.
Steve Mnuchin recently revealed that the bailout money donated to businesses would remain secretive. As a rule, people don’t want things to remain secretive unless they are highly unethical. Rest assured, this money is not going to your dogwalking startup.
I think we’ve reached the point where being a Republican is unethical, and Martha McSally concerning herself with people who can afford vacations over the rest of the country is more evidence of this. At the very least, it makes you a hypocrite and a jackass.
These are gross people. Mull this over on your family outing to Pahrump.
