Ever wonder why guys like Bon Jovi aren't conservatives?

They don't follow the rules that they set in place for us. They have their own rules.

It’s not a tax dodge, it’s an investment.

It’s always easier to be compassionate with other people’s money than one’s own.

Caller to Hannity mentioned this. He looked it up because he didn’t believe her.

It's noble and patriotic to deny the government your money.

Bruce Springsteen as well, he pays almost no real estate taxes because he employs an “organic gardener” - John Stossel did a whole show on freeloaders and brought both of these up in the show

Fake farmer and a fake rocker.

He really never struck me as a rock singer. More of a pop singer. Same with Bruce.

I’ve read stories on Bono (as I’m sure many here have) and it astounds me that these libs want higher and higher taxes ‘for the rich’ but they find it perfectly OK to hide their own money away from their governments.

“John Stossel did a whole show on freeloaders and brought both of these up in the show”

So, if you abide by the law you’re a ‘freeloader’?

If springsteens the boss (and that’s by no means a certainty) then bon jovi is the administrative assistant.

However, much greater harm is done to the public by government actually taking trillions of dollars in taxes from them by threat of force. The single greatest source of harm to the public is, not an occasional rich guy here or there, but government.

An Asbury Park Press investigation into farmland assessment records found that landowners deemed "fake farmers" by those calling for reform are producing little more than the bare minimum — $500 — in goods to qualify for the tax breaks.

Translation:

The Asbury Park Press is calling people who actually do meet the requirements of the law to qualify for tax breaks, "fake farmers", because they are sympathetic to government taxers instead of to taxpayers.

Let's all look at the tax returns of the Asbury Park Press, their reporters, and their owners and managers, and see if we can call them names for complying with the tax laws, too.
