I work for a tax company dude so you can’t teach me about American tax laws. I do people’s taxes every year. Google TurboTax we the biggest tax preparer in America. So it’s laughable that you think you can teach me about a law I see almost everyday . Dude use sense. We go back and forth with the irs every year because of these laws

I live in Ogbomosho but if an error in taxes that has brought about taxcut of over $100 in a monthly paycheck which will be over $50 when calculated biweekly for over a year now then the IRS must have been full of dummies.

I tell you again. Stop watching too much news and stop relying on Google for simple answers since you live and work in the States.

Also, the significance of tax cut will largely depend on the amount in the paycheck.

Last time I checked 95 to 4 was the vote which means republicans and democrats cane together to vote.

Also last time I checked black community leaders had discussions with Biden asking him to create a tough bill because the crime rate went up by 40%. Also the black BB congressional caucus supported the bill. All these different black groups did interviews before the election defending Biden and talking about how they pressured him because they needed to fix the community. If you want to blame Biden for speaking to black leaders and supporting a bill that black community leaders supported go ahead

My point is simple and clear Democrats have sent lot of black people to jail.

Joe Biden crime bill signed by bill clinton alone created alone the mass incarceration of black people in the history of America

Again you don’t live in America so you have no idea about race relations sure you can have an opinion about politics but your opinion does not matter to us here. But you can never have an opinion about race until you live here. You comment based on movies . It’s a known facts that blacks have to work twice as hard than white counter parts



Indeed, my comments are based on movies. Anyway, i am suprised this is coming from you.

I have an idea of race relations, don't tell what i don't know.

I am sure you have lot of victim mentality.

The whites are against us, they are out to catch us, suprisely, even with lot of programs like affirmative action to meet up.

You are damn funny.

Don't blame white people for the inability to be successful in life even in the midst of plenty, blame yourself.

Again you just proven you know nothing about how America works.

Before you can build affordable housing aka projects you need city officials to vote.if they say no then you can’t build affordable housing in that neighborhood. For example I live in a white neighborhood now and they have rejected all plans for affordable housing. They rejected a train station because they believed it would bring more black ppl to the neighborhood. Ppl have asked my family how a black family was able to get a house in this white neighborhood. So a lot goes into building affordable houses in a white neighborhood. America has laws and rules that must be followed



J111333:
Another lie.
Democrats have kept more black people in "projects" which basically means modified jails and guess what, they are innocent blacks and not convicted criminals that the Republicans sent to jails.

It's also on record that Democrats have deported more immigrants than Republicans. ICE under Obama deported more immigrants and separated more families than under Trump but no one talks about it today.

When he became a senator he took a train every day for 4 hours because he wanted to be around people of color so that he can better understand their plight. They used to tease him and called him Amtrak joe because he did that

You need to differentiate my words from yours

Biden didnt move to Delaware because he loved black people.

His family moved to Delaware when he was 12 years to find opportunities.

Lets get the facts right.

The Senate initially passed the bill by a 95-4 vote; the final conference report vote was 61-38, with just two Democrats voting no. The House passed the final bill 235-195, with nearly three times as many Democrats supporting it as opposing it.


President Bill Clinton had to meet with the CBC to garner enough votes to get the bill over the finish line. The Baltimore Sun reported on Aug. 18, 1994, that at least three members of the caucus had switched their votes after meeting with Clinton at the White House. Before that meeting, “10 of the 38 black Democrats in the House voted against him when the crime bill, in an embarrassing setback for the administration, failed on a procedural motion. They were protesting the application of the death penalty to 60 more crimes.

I hope you know many black leaders were against the bill.

My whole family earns very well and we still didn’t receive tax cuts. I work for tax company the tax cut was a scam. I had ppl calling me pissed because their taxes weren’t decreasing like they expected . $2 decrease is not a decrease. $2 can only buy bread


thebosstrevor1:


They did except you earn very low.

This is how it works.

top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%

The lowest bracket remained at 10%, and the 35% bracket was also unchanged.


If you earn from $0 to $9,700, your tax doesn't change, it is still 10%

Since you know so much by how much did your tax decrease because my tax increased because trump removed certain provisions that used to decrease my tax. My brothers tax only decreased by 20 cent which is rubbish. Most ppl said their taxes decreased by less than $20. $20 is nothing here, it can’t pay my phone bill. So what’s your point dude. Biden will increase tax for ppl earning more than 400k a year.

black americans with necessary qualifications are not given jobs because it means empowering black americans...

millions of "black people" have necessary qualifications.
First of all, there are first generation black Americans and you gotta have to respect that fact.
A second generation American who migrated from Nigeria, got series of degrees and have just gotten his citizenship after only a 5year stay in America can not wake up one morning and apply for a job at US Secret Service that requires lots of security clearance and expect to get hired simply because the requirement says the job is for all "American citizens with college degree".

Trust me, even black bosses treat fellow black employees more terribly than white bosses.

Don’t assume to know me dude. Fact is black ppl work harder to get promoted here. Yale was literally sued for accepting white ppl with lower marks than black ppl. Yale accepts a white man with 75 score but declines a black boy with 85 score .... that’s a race issue

It battles me how some evil religion zombies in Africa are blindly supporting Trump against this man. Trump never stepped foot in Africa, even though some might argue he has some black folks in his ranks. But this is a man that has a very low opinion and biased assumption about anything that looks different from him, especially blacks.

Congratulations you did a google search

The house first votes on all bills in America. The final vote was 95-4. Once the senate votes it cannot be changed unless the president vetoes it. Again another google search would confirm this

CNN acting the script given them since decision was made to move against Trump.

Maybe it escaped your eyes, but sometimes in early February when USA was just registering its first coronavirus case, a Nairalnder made a comment that Trump will lose reelection because of Coronavirus.

I dismissed it then because I thought America might not be as hard hit as it presently is but I guess I was wrong.

There are many secret agents here on this forum who are privy to so many classified information and I'm sure that guy was aware of something we didn't know.

Again, I'm of the view that Pfizer deliberately delayed announcement of their vaccine to make sure Trump loses. Or why did they make the announcement just barely one week after the elections.

The forces against Trump prepared for him long ago. And these guys are not just after Trump, they are after something more.

More and more conspiracy theory. Once things are not going your expected way you are ever with a theory to defend yourself.
