of their deductions and exemptions on their federal taxes. Washington is considering such a tax and the babies are crying bitter tears. There is no income tax here so they are skating by pretty easily but that is not enough for them. They are the most special people of all time.

If implemented, his net worth of $27.5 billion would probably not even drop.
