  Speaker 1: Social media. I'm all over the place, just Chuck Douglas
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on the Facebook. There's also an official Chuck Douglas Radio
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: show fan page if you want to like that. Twitter,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's Chuck D Talker. Instagram. I think it's Chuck d
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Talker as well. Truth Social. I can't remember CD talk
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. We just talk about CDs basically, Yeah,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: just how CDs are better than eight tracks. It's what
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I do out there. I don't get on truth Social
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: too much just because nobody else does. Really, It's just
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you know, people in the Trump administration won't jump on there.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: But it's not nearly as interactive as I want it
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to be, So I don't get on there a lot,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but just you know, run my name through there. Email
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas at iHeartMedia dot com. There you go. So,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: as I'm ranting and raving about the two hundred thousand
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: dollars house all Legner Avenue, and I was looking at
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: some of the pictures, this also equates to exactly what
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I was saying the other day about these infill houses
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as they call them, that they put up completely. They
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: don't look at all like the neighborhoods. They don't materially
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: conform with the neighborhoods. You've got brick homes, you've got
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: stone homes. Then you've got these tivek wrapped vinyl sided
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: homes that you know, look like they belong in a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: freestanding condo development and Galloway more so than they belong
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in an historic neighborhood. You're not doing any favors for
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the historic neighborhood putting that in there and charging that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: kind of money to live there. It just I'm sorry,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it ain't helpful. So let me move on to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sales tax holiday, which begins tomorrow. Are you do you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have Are you waking up at like six am for
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: sales tax holiday shopping? No? I've never in any way,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: shape or form, but I can tell that you are
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: very excited about it. Absolutely absolutely. Hang on a second,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: there it was, that was my excitement. There was. It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: longer this year. First of all, it was only ten
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: days last year. It's two weeks. This time. Starts tomorrow
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and actually at tonight, if you want to be technical,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: at midnight, So if you want to go out shopping
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: at twelve oh one, you get the sales tax breaks
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and it runs through eleven fifty nine pm on August fourteenth.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Now here's my problem with it. This started off as
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a relatively good idea to try to help families with
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: purchasing school clothes, uniforms, supplies, you know, lunchboxes, new pair
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of shoes, even when they had haircuts and things like
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that in there to get the kids started. I was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: good with that. I was good. However, according to the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Ohio Department of Taxation, the same sales tax holiday includes
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: all tangible property I'm sorry, tangible personal property that is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars or less. Not score oriented, not kid oriented.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: All tangible property five hundred dollars or less. This includes
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: items such as electronics and the clothing, home goods. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: could see that. I guess, dine in food. Think about this.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You can take the family out, you know, run by roosters,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, drop a couple of hundred bucks and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not have to pay the sales tax dining in dine
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in food. They're considering that personable or personal tangible property
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: with a value up to five hundred dollars or less.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Dietary supplements, Okay, I don't know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Are we talking about Flintstone vitamins ten million strong and going.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Or are we talking about I don't know, herbal libido enhancers.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What kind of dietary supplements there shouldn't be odd because
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: those don't work. Pets food because you know the dogs
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and the cats are headed back to school this year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They have to learn too. Learning. It's not just for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: people toys oddly school and off of supplies sports equipment.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can see that. I guess ther kids are in
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: sports luggage, what backpacks or this beautiful set from Samsonite
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: musical instruments, personal care products and hang your hats. Hang
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: onto your hats. After the discussion we just had about
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: eliminating sugary stuff from food stamp benefits and not letting
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: food stamp recipients buy sugary drinks for their kids, hang
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: onto your hats for the last category in the tax
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: free holiday in the state of Ohio, soft drinks. I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: going to sit momentarily in silence while you just allow
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: your mind to allow its mouth to hang open. How
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is it we are having a conversation about people being
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: regulated when it comes to what they can buy with
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: their food stamp snap ebt stuff saying that they should
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: only buy a wholesome, healthy products and then we do
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a tax free holiday on soft drinks. How is that logical? Zach,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: help me, help me to see this vein on the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: right side of my head. You see what it's doing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Help me understand, I mean, Senator Hoffman can help you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: because I can't. Hung up on me last night is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: what he did. No, we texted today. He just he
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: thought I was done. He didn't because I was going
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: into news there and he didn't think I was coming back.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Sales tax holiday does not include tangible person or property
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: over five hundred dollars. Doesn't include motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages. Well, why,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I mean you what if the kids want to do
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a little drinking between classes? It doesn't apply to the booze,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: really does, doesn't apply very lou you want a beard,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's tax free. Doesn't apply to tobacco, vapor products, or
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: items that contain marijuana. Okay again back to school, no marijuana.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Really for more information to see what qualifies for the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: sales tax holiday, there is indeed a website for which
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you have paid. By the way, the Ohio Department of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Taxation has a website for that. So if you just
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: go in and google Ohio Sales Tax Holiday. It'll take
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you to the Ohio dot gov website and you can see.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is stupid. It's not that I want
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to give any more money in sales tax away than
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I have to because I don't like sales. Sales taxes
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: are right below property taxes. As far as stuff I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: hate when it comes to taxes, I've been very I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: hate property taxes. I hate buying something and then having
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to pay for the right to own it for the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: rest of my life. That's crazy. That's crazy. I'm also
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: not fond of sales taxes. Look, I'm doing business with
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this company. This company's making money. You charge this company
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at tax based on the amount of money that they make.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Why should I then also have to pay a second
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: tax on the product I'm buying from them? Think about that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: If I'm buying an item from the Zach Store for
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: ten bucks, I gotta pay ten dollars and eighty cents
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for it because of sales tax. So the government's getting
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: paid because I'm buying something from the Zach Store. But
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: then Zach Store made ten dollars, so Zach Store is
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: about to pay income tax on the ten dollars that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it just made selling me. So they're taxing it because
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm buying it, and they're taxing it because Zach Store
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: sold it. Does that make sense that that's stupid, But again,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we live with it every day we go. You'll all
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: play your sales tax This is dumb. We allow ourselves
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to be taxed for and don't we don't even know
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: why we're being taxed. We don't know what we're paying for.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Sales taxes eight percent in Franklin County, Okay, what's that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: paid for? We don't ask that, just sales taxes eight percent?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You make money with your money. You got
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to pay taxes on the money you make with your money.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You paid income tax on the money what was left over.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You used it to make money, So then you have
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to pay money on the money that you made with
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the money you were able to keep after you paid
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the taxes on the money in the first place. Then
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: if you die and you got some money left over,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: after the funeral calls, you say, I leave this money
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: for which I have already you worked and paid taxes
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to my buddy Zach, and here's your money, Zach. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: then Hello, Zach, We're from the Tax Administration office. You
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: inherited some money that taxes have already been paid on.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: We need you to pay some taxes on that. It
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: never ends, It never becomes yours. Your money ain't yours,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: your property, angels, nothing's yours. We gladly do it, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: then they do something stupid like this, so we act
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: like they're giving us a gift. Is the Zach Store? Okay?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: With that? Do you mind paying double taxes? Had nothing
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I could do about it, so I'm paying it. I'll
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: pass the cost on to you somehow. Well, no, see,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that's just it. It's an endless cycle. You can't really
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: pass the cost on to me. Yeah, I know. It's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: just because if you pass the cost, you take that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ten dollars iron becomes a fifteen dollar item right now,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Suddenly it's what's fifteen ten percent? My gosh, eight percent
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of fifteen dollars I've got to pay in sales tax
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: for buying that item. So I'm buying the item from
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you and paying that fifteen percent. Then you are going
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to pay the tax on the money you made selling
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: me the fifteen dollars item. You can never really pass
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it along because now you're paying more in taxes because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you made more money because you sold it for fifteen
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: instead of ten. I'm paying more in taxes because I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: paid or paid for item, the sales tax on an
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: item because I bought it for fifteen instead of for ten.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: There's no weight. The deck is completely stacked against us.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Loop it never. You can't get away from it. You can't.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And again we see stuff like this and we act
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like we're being given a gift and we're not. We're not,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: especially when you look on the return on investment. Here,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: same logic that I applied to school systems asking for
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, pass this levee. No, you can't pass a student,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and we're not passing any more levees. Graduates down, attendance
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is down, populations down. You want to know, no more levees.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, congratulations to was it big Walnut? I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was reading about that They their budget went well, they
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: didn't spend the money they thought, and so they're not
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: charging any activity fees, no sports. If you're playing football
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: or basketball or whatever. They say, hey, we're giving this
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: back to the families. All about that and Pickerington, Pickerington's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: going through all kinds of silliness right now because they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to put a levee on the ballot that was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: discussed out there the board. The board is represented by
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: three Republicans to Democrats, and now there are calls for
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a one party system. I guess because it's consistently and no,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: they had two levee options. The board vote was against
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: both of them. Were not going to ask for a levee.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And people are saying, well, let's partisan is what it is.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So we need more Democrats. We have to have the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: artificially artificially outnumber the Republican votes. Wow, because they want
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: your money. And in the meantime, we want to talk
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: about food stamp beneficiaries not being able to buy sugary
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: drinks with their food stamp card while at the same
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: time having soft drinks on the tax free two week
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: back to school shopping list. We are messed up. Just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: say it. I got nothing else on this. I can't,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I can't, I can't say anymore. I can't continue to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: state the obvious. If you disagree with me, there's nothing
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I can do to change your mind. And you're wrong
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that I submit those two things. The only time you're
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: like I can't do it this time. I just can't.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. You said you would hear me out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh I said that usually You're like, I'll hear you out.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: There's no There's no possible way anybody can say anything
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in opposition to what I just said about this that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: would make sense. But I made sense. That's something completely
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be arrogant. I seriously am not.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I'm stating what I consider to be the obvious here.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: If you are in disagreement with me about the ridiculousness
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of this way they're they're managing the sales tax holiday
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and taxes in general, there's no way I can ever
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: ever agree with you. It just seems to me like
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: capitalism needs an overhaul, while I'm hearing accountability needs an overhaul.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: We're just, like I said, we're allowing too much stuff
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to happen without question, and they say give it, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: we okay, Well, you're the government. I guess we got
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to give it.
