So do the Clintons and Saint Buffet. That is what foundations are for. Leverage your tax money so you can wield political influence. Quite the scam.

Why would anyone expect the elites to pay taxes? The year John Kerry ran it was revealed he paid like 6% something like that, out of his vast kept man fortune.

These people are not in there to do the job they’re supposed to do, they’re in there to steal from us and give it to their voters, and to enact laws enabling their supporters to do what they want to do.

GOP tries to get in on this, but they are very confused about it.

“the 84-year-old billionaire used a loophole “

Fantastic!!

No one is required to pay more taxes than the law requires.

I would think conservatives would be champions of low taxes and the moral imperative of paying as little in taxes as legally permissible.

The left has always screamed at us that legally avoiding taxes is criminal.

We should demand that foundations pay taxes at the same rate as corporations. Rather than having the IRS persecute the Middle Class, billionaires should have every tax loophole eliminated so that Buffet, Soros, the Kennedys and the Clintons can give their “fair share.”

The best government money can buy. Walker is smart to follow Lee’s lead in conservative populism. Use the basic foundational principles found in the Constitution and beat the Dems over and over and over again.

Rich liberals don’t mind high taxes because they just don’t pay them, and they get away with it. The laws don’t apply to them.

The majority of his money was made in avoiding taxes.
He took 20% of other peoples money and reinvested it and then did not pay taxes. Anyone could get rich doing that!
