What this episode covers

00:00 So down in Columbia, Representative Bruce Bannister, um he said something today that I literally, when I heard it, I laughed out loud. I don't LOL all that much, but I laughed out loud. Bruce Bannister said that the new tax bill here in South Carolina, you know the one that doesn't comply with the one big beautiful bill? 00:28 These words actually came out of his mouth. Actually came out of Bruce Banner's mouth. He said that the new tax code in South Carolina would ensure that no South Carolinian, no South Carolina resident pays more tax than necessary. He said that. He literally said that. He said... 00:57 He said that this new tax bill, nobody's going to be paying more than, really? Really? 01:07 The Freedom Caucus showed you guys how to cut $500 million. 01:15 out of your budget. You guys were the ones that increased the budget over a billion dollars over last year on silly things like Lesbian Podcasts. Now tell me something, if you are a taxpayer and you have to pay for a Lesbian Podcast, don't you believe you're being overtaxed? Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Last year they ran a budget surplus of 1.7 billion. 01:46 So what does that mean, Bruce Bannister? Does that mean you're being overtaxed? And then what did our wonderful state legislature do? I said, well, well, look at her. We got ourselves $1.7 billion more than we expected. Well, how y'all wanna do, what y'all wanna do? Give this back to the constituents? No, we ain't gonna do that, we gonna spend it. Let's increase that budget, 1.7 billion. 02:14 That'll be a good thing. Oh, those constituents, they can tighten their belts just a little bit better. We got spending to do here in Columbia. 02:24 They don't care. They don't care. Let's go to Jay and Wilford. Jay, welcome. Charlie. Yes, sir. I just got to get this out of the way. Oh, Charlie. I love it when you do that. Thank you. Thank you. What's up, man? So this is what burns my backside. You go to work, get up every day, work your tail off for a little bit of money, and then they catch the hell out of it. Yeah. 02:55 after it's taxed, then you go buy some groceries. And guess what? That tax money that you just got is taxed again. That's right. And then you go buy gasoline or fuel and yet it's taxed again. Yes. We are over overtaxed. And then but the heck of it is, Jay, if you buy something substantial like a home or a vehicle, 03:23 You pay taxes on that when you purchase it, and then you have to pay taxes every year just for the privilege of owning it. Exactly. My wife and I's 15 year olds turning 16 next month. we went and bought a car, a used car. Right. Okay. So once we bought the used car, of course you have to pay all those taxes, road taxes, all that crap. And then... 03:52 the county that we've lived in, not even a month later, sent us a property tax on the car. Yeah. Yeah. So we could own it. Right. For the privilege of owning it. Yeah. Yeah.
