Let’s get real for a minute. Nations have had colonies for hundreds of years. Even today, the US has “colonies”: Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc. These “colonies” are semi-independent but are arguably “run” by the US (That is, subject to US law.) So really, the point you’re trying to make could be said to be invalid.
How would you have handled being a "good German citizen" in 1938 Germany. What if you were employed to operate the trains heading to Auschwitz? What if you were employed in the Amsterdam factory that was hiding Anne Frank.....aiding and abetting an enemy of the state is a serious violation of Roman's 13 as taught by statist hirlings! Fortunately some good patriot dropped a dime on her and she went to the camps, God's will done according to some.
No you won’t. Because if you do, you’ll find your ass dragged off to the gulags. You’re just too stupid to understand that.
A perfect example of the term "useful idiot".
That is the big question. Deferral, might as well keep paying. The penalties are 100% for people who missed required payments. Too big of a risk if it is a deferral only.
It does not help the rank and file unless they are a business. It should (based upon my understanding) allow the business to continue deducting the money as required by law from paychecks, but allow the business to not pay the monies owed until a later time. This is intended to keep many alive when they would normally go under due to lack of cash flow.
The tax paying citizes will never see a change. This is a behind the scenes change only.
I believe it is allowed by law, but only a deferment and not the elimination of the tax. So Trump can delay you paying for a period of time.
Trump can next year allow the deferment to be permanent or Biden if elected,. could be the bad guy for demanding payment. Trump may have put the Democrats in a box.
Sorry about the incorrect abbreviation.. I know the difference just an error on my part
This is true like it's never been true before.

The Pres giving an additional $300 in unemployment benefits which will only be paid if the states kick in an additional $100 is brilliant for 2 reasons.
1st Pelosi won't dare sue in court to stop this because it'll put the Dems on record as the party that stopped giving enhanced unemployment to needy unemployed folks. Trump got the jump on Pelosi before she could lay blame on the Repubs for stalling the deal.
2nd Since Liberal Dem states will be the likely ones to oppose this, they will alienate their own unemployed people against them. Again Trump gets the jump on Dems before they can lay the blame on Repubs. The Dem states will somehow find the additional $100 bucks.
The deferment of SS tax also can be a win for the Pres.
Right now everyone was worried if they would have a huge SS tax bill due in January.
BUT, the Pres has already tweeted that IF he is re=elected he will attempt to get the due SS tax forgiven or cancelled.
Forgiving taxes is something the Dems would never think of doing.
Basically the President has told the American people, "Elect me and I'll get the 5 months of 15% taxes on your salary forgiven. Elect Biden and you have a huge tax bill due even before Biden would assume office.
Pelosi and the Dems overplayed their hand in refusing to negotiate and Trump got the jump on them before they could blame the whole thing on the Repubs.
Well played Mr Trump! This is the first time I've seen such a masterful end run around the Dems, to put them in the spot of either agreeing with the President or having to play the bad guys in this economic crisis..
Sure you will.

this just totally confuses me with number 1, so if elected he is going to stop payroll taxes that fund our social security? I saw a post on Facebook stating that and I cannot lose my social security as many others cannot! Are the older people suppose to die?I believe you are correct on that one point. You will recall that he signed 4 EOs, each on a different topic...and to prevent a judicial judgement (think Federal District Obama Judges) from sinking the whole ship with one shot.....i.e. one identified "flaw".
President Trump Signs Four Executive Orders Providing Middle Class Economic Relief Due to COVID-19…
Posted on August 8, 2020 by sundance
Today President Trump announced four executive orders targeted to help the majority of Americans as democrats in congress refuse to help.
Democrats in DC are holding middle-class economic relief hostage so they can force massive taxpayer bailouts on Blue states. To avoid the loggerhead battle, President Trump is using his emergency authority via executive orders.
1) The first executive order signed is a payroll tax holiday for Americans making less than $100,000 [Details Here] President Trump stated: “If I’m victorious, November 3rd, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax and to make them more permanent.”
2) The second executive order is directed to “the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HHS and CDC, to make sure renters and homeowners can stay in their homes.“ [Details Here]
3) “The third executive action I’m taking today will also provide additional support for Americans who are unemployed, due to the China virus. Under the CARES act I proudly signed I expanded unemployment benefits into law.” Benefits will be $400/week. [Details Here]
4) The fourth XO is a “directive providing relief to student loan borrowers.” The policy will be extended through the end of the year. [Details Here]
President Trump also said he will also be looking at income and capital gains tax cuts. “So we’re going to be looking at income tax, we’re going to be looking at capital gains tax cuts on both and maybe substantial. And we’ll be reporting back fairly shortly on that, it’s big news big news but very important,” Trump said.
