11/7/17: Good morning, Tax-Paying Chumps. I know you plumbers, speech therapists, and tattoo artists pay your taxes. You can’t help it. You’re not rich enough to pay a $1,000-per-hour tax lawyer to finagle a deal.
Wilbur Ross won’t even be taxed once.
Anyway, you know what Paul Ryan says. What this country needs most is…healthcare for poor kids. No, we’re joking! Funding for the CHIPS program is stalled in Congress right now.
What we need is to put an end to the estate tax – which almost no Americans pay. That way poor billionaires like Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross won’t be taxed twice. You know, once on income, a second time when he dies.
We all know guys like Ross never game the system! They pay more than their share. Oh, wait.
Documents leaked this week show:
A) Ross has lucrative business ties with Russians, despite U.S. sanctions imposed after Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of the Ukraine.
B) Ross “forgot” to mention these ties during his Senate confirmation hearing.
C)
Ross has most of his cash stashed where he doesn’t have to pay taxes,
in secret bank accounts
in the Cayman Islands.
Do you have a secret account to hide your cash in the Cayman Islands, Mr. or Ms. Tax-Paying Chump?
No, you do not. (See: 11/8/17.)
