Trump will cut the tax on overtime when he finishes the border wall.

trump certainly did not cut government spending in his first term. In fact government spending increased significantly e.g. national debt increased by 39%. I suggest you're indulging in wishful thinking.

We will give you a break on your overtime pay, but we will raise your taxes by imposing enormous tariffs on a wide range of imported goods, punishing both you the consumer, and the American companies that manufacture overseas.

 

Sounds fair, sounds like a good trade-off?

Of course it sounds good on the surface.

 

Any tax cut adds to government debt. So if one wants a balance, services have to be cut elsewhere. Medicare, social services.

 

When did Americans start believing Trump is a good economic manager? On his string of failed businesses alone, he's a <deleted>.

Her tenure as “Border Czar “ was worthless. One trip and never left the tarmac.  But then she’s “Never been to Europe “ either as she stated in a incoherent interview.

 

Check out the videos of what the people who live on the southern border think of her and her job as “Border Czar”.  It ain’t pretty.

What you call her tenure as border czar is entirely imaginary. Harris aswas never delegated any responsibility for managing the border.

Wasn’t an issue at the time.  Now he’s making it an issue.  He’ll get it accomplished when elected.

 

But yet all the false promises Harris made during her debate for some reason couldn’t be accomplished during her VP.  
What makes you think she’ll accomplish anything if elected?

My son works in the gaming industry where his tips are taxed heavily. It's ALWAYS been an issue!

I think Harris should use a bit of Jiu-Jitsu on him. She should go along with his idea but insist let it be paid for by raising taxes on the rich. As polls show, even Republicans support raising taxes on the rich.

Heck instead of this why doesn’t he just pay his taxes?I was paying more tax weekly than he was paying yearly more noise out of his blow hole.nothing but a pandering gesture.

Tug maybe he did not think of this the first time around.  Harris could have kept our borders secure not undoing Trump's work.  Where does Trump owe taxes?  You are so full of BS.  Why not join the Harris team.  You would fit right in.   You ever mention the taxes owed by Al Sharpton and all the years he has owed them?  I hope the people here see you for what you are.  I sure do.

Deflect much? That's not the point, which is the former president/convict/serial sexual predator/fraudster is lying yet again, and gullible red hats are defending his obviously transparent swindle.

Harris was not the 'border czar'.

 

Trump prevented Biden's bi-partisan bill from passing that would have even satisfied the house Republicans hardest proponent. Because he wants the excuse to squeal about Haiitians eating pets and geese.

 

Thought it'd be a killer move 555

eliminate taxes on overtime pay if re-elected

First proposed by Libertarian Rep. Ron Paul in 2012 in Las Vegas. Subsequently Trump became POTUS in 2017. But never initiated such elimination. Why? Can Trump be believed?

"Critics say Project 2025 erodes overtime pay"

https://the hill.com/homenews/campaign/4778755-does-project-2025-propose-eliminating-overtime-pay/

• "during former President Trump's administration, the Department of Labor set the overtime pay threshold for salaried workers at a disgraceful $35,500 per year - meaning any workers earning more than that were not eligible for overtime pay even if they worked more than 40 hours." (my italics)
• Thus, Trump eliminated overtime for about 8 million workers.

POTUS Biden has since raised the threshold so that more salaried workers will qualify for overtime.

Note that Trump doesn't distinguish between salaried and nonsalaried workers.

Sounds good, but where are the costing. Does he plan to replace the lost tax revenue and how? Hopefully not by cutting welfare services, though wouldn't be surprised.

 

Duplicate post, must have been having a senior moment or as they call it these days, a "Trumpian episode".

If a hourly employee wants to get ahead, they need to acquire skills which make them so valuable to the business they are offered salaried, secure employment instead.

 

OT is only a band-aid. It's the  first to go if there is a business downturn. The hourly/casual employee is next.

 

So Trump is going to make OT tax free. How do you know he will keep his promise?

Sure, when you are on a low hourly rate, as are so many American workers who are compelled to work overtime to pay their costs.

You're clueless of how Americans get ahead. Just because you can pay the bills on 40 hrs doesn't mean you don't want nice extras.

I liked to double my salary with min of 30hrs a week OT.
