A TAXING SITUATION


Is that all there is?
It has been said that there are two things one
can't avoid - death and taxes. Therefore most
assume the odds are against us. And that we
have no option except to pay our fair share.
Most millionaires try to avoid the inevitable.
Yet the average tax rate for the top .001% of
Americans comes in at 24.1%. Or about $400
million per annum. Whereas the President's
tax returns for fifteen years show that he paid
the I.R.S. nada for eleven. Only to the shell
out $750 in 2016 and 2017 - his first year in
office. Compared to Barack Obama's tax bill
for his first year which was $1.7 million plus. 
Fool's gold 
Oh and let's not forget that Mr. Trump also
received a $72.9 million tax refund for his
failed casino venture. Which is the reason
he has been under audit and could be liable
for one hundred million plus should the IRS
find him in the wrong. Hence if we are to
believe Mr. Trump's paper trail and signed
tax returns - he's a total business failure. So
how does he still live like Midas? Obviously
 by writing off his homes, private plane, and
even coiffures as business expenses. Along
with paying his daughter Ivanka "consulting
fees" while she collected a corporate salary. 
Naked ambition
All of which causes some to conclude that
not only does our emperor lack new togs -
he can't afford them. Or that he is so smart
that he's cheated the U.S. Treasury out of
it's fair share for decades and then some.
So how can this man of the masses - their
successful businessman icon get away with
not paying his way? By purposefully hiding
the facts. And thus allowing "we the people"
to cover his ass for decades.  Isn't it about
time that we hold him accountable? And
pay his way like normal folks? Why give
him four more years as "cheater in chief"?
