She may have that on her resume’ but she OBVIOUSLY no longer retains any of Mr. Buckley’s philosophy.

Rules for Radicals:

5) “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

Leftists treat Alinsky as unHoly Writ ... deliberately picking unflattering, ridiculous pictures (they're easy to get of anyone speaking in public) is an example of Rule 5.

If these people ever find out about me and my tax avoidance strategy, I’m toast. I have not paid a single penny of either state or federal taxes on about $400 million dollars, and the scheme is so simple I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it. I simply avoided making that $400 million, which is how much I would have made if I earned $10 million per year for the last 40 years, which I didn’t. In fact, I might have made $20 million per year, which I didn’t, and would owe back taxes on $800 million, which I don’t. Do you guys think they will come after me, too?

They slow-mo a video until they find the most unflattering expression the can. Actually, I think if they’d tried a bit harder they’d have found something worse. This one is unflattering, but not horrendous. They ARE telegraphing the fact that they’re scared of Ted. And he can fight back better than Sarah could.

His alleged failure to pay those taxes led to substantial congressional scrutiny in 2014—and it’s not clear the investigation is over.

Wow, Ted is really a no good..., ahhh wait a minute!

This, and some of Mercer’s side projects, could present interesting challenges for Cruz’s campaign. Especially since Cruz has been a vocal opponent of those who “give favors to Wall Street” and engage in “crony capitalism.”

Yes, the definition of "crony capitalist" is a wealthy, politically active conservative whom the regime's thugs at the IRS and the financial illiterates in Congress attempt, unsuccessfully, to persecute. They must really be desperate if this is the best they can come up with. (My statements about the guy aren't based on any knowledge of the case, just knowledge of conservatives, liberals, and Congress and how all the above function.)

Yep, the 4th estate continues to do its job if it involves a Republican.

Their job is lying, yellow urinalism, and inventing scandals where none probably exist??

If you are paying your legal tax bill, you are not a “tax avoider”.

Not true. "Avoidance" is indeed the word for people seeking to pay as little as they legitimately can. Even the IRS has publicly acknowledged the legitimacy of doing so. Actual cheating is called "evasion".

Yes...and Warren Buffett is all for increasing the death tax, but none of his billions will ever be taxed one penny.
