Sooo... Voluntary extra taxes? You know, you could just tax the mega wealthy. Although something tells me some of this would go to them anyway with how easily they seem to throw that shit around.
I shouldn't be mad since it's mostly going to be people that are incredibly stupid that are going to do this, but I would prefer those said people were at least buying stuff that'll put the money back into the economy instead of having it disappear into the ether. I'm not an economist, but i bet that even if every average American that is middle class or below put in all their money it still wouldn't even put a dent in it.
-
I saw elsewhere that if every man, woman, and child in America paid in $12.1k, we could eliminate the $4T Trump just added to the debt.

-
Bet that money doesn't go towards the national debt
-
They're to fund the ICE concentration camps to lock you up in.

-
Why doesn't he ask his billionaire friends?
-
That's embarrassing. Not that that's new lately. But yeah.
-
Great, an invitation to piss into a hurricane.
-
The debt is more than $100k per person. The median net worth is $192k. People would have to sell large parts of what they own to make any significant dent in that number during his administration.
-
He's asking people to pay off the national debt that his Big Bogus Bill is increasing by 3.4 trillion dollars?!
If every man, woman, and child paid $10,000 they would only cover the cost of his bill. TEN THOUSAND dollars each and it would make up for the bill passed this year.
Then you've got the already existing $29 trillion in debt already owed. Get your fuckin wallets out everyone. Trump's grifting again(still).
-
The Treasury has run this program for years, and people have donated $67.3 million since 1996
-
We have paid for ~0.000203030303% of the national debt. \o/

Steve Bannon was pardoned for fraud for pocketing the "donate to build the wall" stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if this all just goes to Trump Jr's cocaine fund.
It will be funny to see if somebody does the "if you care about the national debt so much, why not pay it yourself?" line.
-
It’s a trickle fetish.
-
Yeah bro I'll just venmo you five trillion dollars no biggie
-
Can you just cover all 37 trillion for us? Thanks
-
-
Yet another distraction from Trump being a serial child molester.
-
Send a request to Theil Bezos and Musk. Done and done.
-
Are donations into that pot at least tax deductable?
-
He would have asked Elon, but they're not friends anymore.
-
Can they reduce my national debt instead?
-
Boy, he sounds just like my ex-girlfriend.
-
Don't forget to tip the tax man
-
Next up: Klarna
-
It's his personal Venmo, he'll make sure the money gets to the right place, you can trust him.
-
Conservatives immediately turned into beggars lmao
"Time for the liberals who wanted higher taxes to pay up"
Conservatives are dumb freeloaders.
-
I'll skip the dozen obvious reasons why this is comically stupid, but imagine if this strategy did some how significantly reduce the debt - they would just pass another bill giving more tax breaks to billionaires.
Contributing to this is just like buying something from amazon without receiving the something.
-
You first.
-
How much you wanna bet this just goes to his personal account lol
-
Haha yes, he’s definitely 100% going to put any money people Venmo to whatever account they’ve made towards “paying of the national debt” (pronounced /ɛmˈbɛzlm(ə)nt/)
-
It would be just as effective as shoving my money through a paper shredder. So nah.
-
edit: Heh...
We've recovered your text Voyager says.
Submit I say
wait that text wasn't from that. post.....
What I meant to say, is that's an interesting way to drain the swamp.
that other ramble was meant to go on a different post entirely
-
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
-
fair

-
A.You pay B. You have big inflation so the sum of that money is insignificant
No one will be happy with those options. I believe option B will be chosen.
-
And how much of Trumps wealth in % has been contributed?
