What’s the deal with this ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’? Looks like Trump’s trying to turn remittances into a cash grab. Seriously? 💰
Ok, so here’s the scoop—it’s this bill, right? Trump’s touting it as “big, beautiful,” but it’s really just a giant headache. 3.5% tax on remittances sent by immigrants to their families. Because, you know, why not make it harder for people trying to do a good thing? Instead of paying taxes, let’s just tax remittances. Genius! 🙄
This? Oh, It’s Just a Little US-Mexico Remittance Showdown. No Big Deal. 😬
Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill, which is just a fancy way of saying “more money from people who are just trying to send some love home,” has Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, saying “Not so fast.” She’s already on the phone, probably yelling into her coffee, telling her people to resist. Send emails, letters—whatever it takes—because apparently, Mexicans working their tails off shouldn’t be punished for sending money home. Who knew? 🇲🇽
Sheinbaum: “If necessary, we will mobilize. We don’t want this tax to affect the remittances of our countrymen, who tend to the needy.” Yeah, good luck with that, right? Like they’re just gonna sit back and take it. Nah, they’re fighting back.
Now, she’s cooking up a plan—Finabien—sounds fancy, huh? To bypass these taxes. Because if there’s one thing Mexicans love, it’s finding loopholes. 💡
Meanwhile, the U.S., led by some guy named Eric Schmitt, wants to turn this into a quadruple whammy—up from 3.5% to 15%. Fifteen percent! ‘Cause why not make it so expensive, people just stop sending money? “We’re not a piggy bank,” Schmitt posts, probably with a smirk. Oh, please. America’s not the world’s ATM, but it sure wants to act like it. 💼
Imagine what that does—less money going home, more frustration, and maybe, just maybe, some smart folks thinking, “Crypto’s the way to go.” Yeah, let’s send money from untraceable wallets, because who’s really got time for Uncle Sam’s tracking? And if the government’s out to get you, just hide your money in a digital vault and wait for things to blow over. Typical. 💻🔒
