So I think found a meme that is one part political, one part random, and one part Jeep. It go in the three big meme threads on this forum. The best part is I can imagine Trump saying this at a debate and I would be fine with it haha
Anybody up for a random meme dump?

Give him a plate of ribs and see what happens.
Not a meme but seems appropriate here....

In case you didn't know.
I hope this fool and his idiot supporters don’t get into the presidency!!!! Did you know Biden wants to get rid of something called "stepped up basis"? How does this affect you? When your parents pass and leave you the family house, normally you would inherit that property at what it is worth today. If you were to sell that house you would only pay taxes on the gain from what it is worth today and what it sells for. If Biden does away with "stepped up basis," you will inherit the property for what your parents paid for the property. If you decide to sell you will pay taxes on the difference between the original purchase price and what it sells for today. Here is what this looks like!
Current Policy
Inherited House at Current Value - $200,000
Sells for $205,000
Taxable income = $5000
Taxes Due - 20% of $5000 = $1000
Profit to you = $204,000
Biden Policy
Inherited House at original purchase price - $40,000
Sells for $205,000
Taxable income = $165,000
Taxes Due - 20% of $165,000 = $33,000
Profit to you = $172,000
If your parents were to have sold this property prior to passing, they would have paid no taxes because it was their primary residence.
So much for helping the middle class get ahead.
My educated guess would be that at least 95% of Americans don’t even know Biden has proposed this. We are talking tens of thousands of more tax dollars for the average sold after inheritance! Wow, google “Biden stepped up basis” and educate yourself because this is a biggie! Please share!
More reasons not to vote for this fool.

Will these work or do I need larger screwdrivers for the amount of AMPS I'm gunna be pulling?
No, but you need a matched pair - one phillips and one slotted doesn't work!
Nope. "Step-up in basis" is a tax loophole for rich people. There's no estate/death tax if your estate is less than about $11.5 million ($23 million for a married couple).
If you're inheriting a $200k house, the total estate is probably under that $23 million amount, and you're not paying any taxes on it, step-up in basis or not.
I hate when people write misleading and false stuff to defend a tax break for rich people by pretending it's going to negatively affect the rest of us. I don't know about you guys, but there's no way my wife and I are leaving an estate of more than $23 million to our kids unless we hit the lottery.
Sorry if I'm a little more annoyed than usual after spending yesterday dealing with whiny rich people in Beaver Creek that spend $5,000 per roll for friggin wallpaper.
