Taxes

Did you know that in some states, if you miss one tax payment, local politicians will take your home, sell it and keep all the profits? Really. Tawanda Hall was behind on her taxes. She was on a payment plan but had missed $900. She didn't expect Southfield, Michigan, to take her entire house because of that. It was worth $286,000 more than what she owed. “I'm still in shock,” says Tawanda…

The newspaper owned by the second richest man in the world actually claimed that the Internal Revenue Service needs— wait for it — more money. The Washington Post Editorial Board published an extraordinarily tone-deaf piece the day before Tax Day 2022 headlined, “The IRS urgently needs more money and staff.”

Amid soaring inflation and sky-high gas prices caused by the policies of the Biden administration, paying taxes has been particularly difficult for many cash-strapped Americans as April’s deadline approaches. One place not hurting for funds is the U.S. federal government, which according to CNSNews just brought in a record-setting “$2,121,987,000,000 in total taxes through the first six months…

New York Times economist Paul Krugman seems to be a glutton for punishment to his already pathetic track record of atrocious economic predictions. Krugman is back trying to gaslight Americans over the 40-year high inflation crisis — again — in an op-ed headlined, “How High Inflation Will Come Down.”

A new Gallup poll shows the cratering view the American people have taken of the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden. The Big Three evening news networks buried it for nearly a week.

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening networks committed one of the most egregious acts of news censorship by ignoring the U.S. debt topping $30 trillion for the first time ever.

Continuing what’s become a staple of our year-end packages, NewsBusters used our Google Analytics to compile our ten most-read stories from 2021, which saw four writers from our News Analysis Division seeing stories crack the top ten along with one from MRC Culture and two from MRC’s Free Speech America.

Billionaire Elon Musk has made a name for himself recently by mocking the left’s nonsensical multitrillion-dollar economic agenda. Two major media personalities have said he’s a good fit to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

Elon Musk used his Twitter account like a battering ram to troll the left for their hypocritical pontificating about class warfare.

On Monday’s abbreviated edition of The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy came prepared (as always) with tough questions many of his colleagues refuse to answer, focusing this day on issues pertaining to the cost of the Biden administration’s Build Back Better (BBB) boondoggle, whether Vice President Harris is still in charge of combatting illegal immigration, and the role of liberal prosecutors…

New York Times reporter Jonathan Weisman is once again pushing taxes on “the ultrarich” who deserve to get soaked. He found an interesting story, libertarian hedge fund son Adam Wyden vs. his hard-left father, Sen. Ron Wyden. The reporter seemed puzzled why the rich son wouldn’t want to pile taxes on even richer people like Elon Musk. 

On Sunday’s This Week, Republicans taught ABC the 123s of how President Biden’s so-called Build Back Better (BBB) agenda was harmful to the middle-class and largely benefited more affluent Americans in blue states. And between Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, chief anchor and Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos was in for a rough time.

Following a sudden hiatus due to her bout with Covid, The Psaki Show returned to the small screen on Friday afternoon and, though Fox’s Peter Doocy wasn’t in attendance, there were still plenty of noteworthy moments, highlighted by NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander twice asking Jen Psaki about the proliferation of “Let’s Go Brandon” chants nationwide.

The inflation crisis has gotten so bad that multiple liberal outlets are now admitting that it spells disaster for President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. CNBC published an eye-opening piece headlined, “Inflation has taken away all the wage gains for workers and then some.” The story analyzed that “[r]eal average hourly earnings when accounting for inflation, actually decreased 0.5% for…
