Dont forget the new mileage tax. Congrats dems you voted for this

[Heavywall]

Get this in your thick partisan head
It does NOT MATTER which party
They are not in it FOR YOU OR ME!
This was a bipartisan move.

[KeemieKEZ]

Ask Amazon about the tax gap. This guy with his dry throat and swallowing sounds like he is doing this report under duress.

[readbetweenthelines]

The media arm of the government tells us we need to be taxed more

[puretechnicalanalysis]

My channel not for beginners, but welcome all anyway📈

[navybrat]

UBI for low income people and raise rates.

[defikidsmusic]

Crypto is the people's money. They will never get what they want with this move.

[howzit]

There will be no crypto to tax if this goes through, they'll all move overseas

[Handcockmcgee]

its not like they spend it right, so why should we donate our money

[NoName-tedp]

Israel: We need more money

USA: No problem, we will tax crypto holders to provide you with all you need.

[illegalsmirf]

What about billionaire/trillionaire tax evasion?

[GrandTourer]

These greatest generation congresspeople lead by President "words from the Record player" really don't understand how hard it will be to track most crypto assets that aren't bitcoin or aren't on mainstream trading apps. This will raise barely anything. You need to stop printing money and let the country fully open or things will not improve

[frankykubric]

For sure crypto was the reason for the tax gap numbers hahahaha

[EndlessTravels]

So if I trade sticks for rocks the government would find a way to take 40% if my stick?

[MrLxixVz]

they haven't read Bitcoin white paper 😂😂😂. can't tax this..🎵🎵🎵

[jokosalsa]

So much ignorance in this report...the US is at risk of losing the technological race in crypto <sigh>

[mycents]

I think the government could make more money by buying crypto.

[Turb]

Yeah, crypto is the problem.. Not Amazon or other billion dollar companies not paying tax and The 1% dodging tax surely has nothing to do with tax evasion.

[Walter-olgd]

The IRS is losing ... The Hoover Dam is about to bust and they are trying to plug it with their fingers HAHA !!!

[Joel-ypyt]

"How confident are they in the tax gap numbers themselves? What are those based on?"

*nods head
"Well, they're not."
