13-Year-Old Girl And Mother Fined $400 For Selling Cookies On Family Member’s Driveway?


Apr 29, 2024

A 13-year-old Girl Scout and her mother received $400 in fines for selling cookies from a driveway owned by the teenager’s grandparents.

Erica Fairbanks McCarroll and her daughter Emma set up a stand on Erica’s parents property, which sits adjacent to the main thoroughfare of Pinedale, Wyoming.

However, that didn’t stop a municipal code officer from giving the mother and daughter hundreds of dollars in fines.

I'm surprised that Pinedale has a police department.

Federal Income Tax - 37%
Medicare Tax - 3.8%

Total - 40.8%

Show me a link where Bezos is paying 40%.  Billionaires have so many tricks and loopholes to hide money. Bill Gates admitted his average annual tax rate is 10.7%  sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

Here is what Musk is doing.:
However, ProPublica pointed out that his “true tax rate” for the five-year period between 2014 and 2018 is much lower than the national average household at 3.27 percent. How does Musk avoid paying taxes? The answer is that he borrows money from Tesla without taking a salary from his own company.Jun 13, 2021

Elon Musk explains his extremely low tax rate - The Hill


Story at a glance:

Elon Musk paid less than $70,000 in federal income taxes between 2015 and 2017, and he did not pay anything in 2018, according to recent reports.
He did pay his taxes in 2016 by exercising more than $1 billion in stock options.
He lives off loans made from his stock options, meaning he doesn’t take a salary from his company.

He makes assertions and then dances around the questions in response to those assertions without addressing them.

Gee, that is EXACTLY what liberals do.
