This is the most oniony not the onion I’ve ever seen. This thing reeks of pungent onions.
Do I get tax credit?
It seems to be tax deductible, yeah.
pay money to the state in order to pay less money to the state
So with new tax cuts for billionaires causing a growing national debt this is like giving money to billionaires. I can’t believe there are people dumb enough to do this …
was my thought. help pay down the national debt so we have more head room to lower taxes for the wealthy some more.
Isn’t that what DOGE was supposed to do by cutting waste?
Lol. Do you do stand-up?
The Treasury has run this program for years, and people have donated $67.3 million since 1996
So people have paid off 0.00019% of the debt… nice
I feel like it’s the opposite of nice, well meaning people getting grifted by the state itself.
I should’ve added a sarcasm tag in there. You’re right though, I was trying to imply with such a crazy low percentage it’s not even a drop in the bucket and probably would be considered just a straight up grift.
I read this too… This post should be removed for bullshit. It may be the original articles headline… but the headline is complete and utter garbage.
I mean it’s true that Venmo was not an option to donate money there prior to Trump’s presidency. He probably has nothing to do with it, but who knows. Could have been Musks idea to update payment methods, or the last admin…
If Musk’s idea, wouldn’t it have been PayPal?
PayPal was added as well according to the article.
It’s just not enough money to make it something I think musk would have cared about. 2.9% per domestic paypal transaction…
I imagine it’s only about 30k a year they’d make off those little donations
