My face is blue... one more time. If you don't like Tax Laws... support changing Tax Law. [View all]

The IRS and Federal Prosecutors don't decide what is a crime.

That is covered by something called a LAW, drafted by Congress and signed by a POTUS.

The IRS are like the umpire in baseball.

The rule book says the strike zone is knees to chest. Don't be surprised if a pitch at the shoelaces is called a ball.

The IRS has had Trump's taxes forever... and no charges were filed.

But there are ZILLIONS of pixels and bits and bytes dedicated to "Lock him up"

Refocus, people... it's the TAX LAWS.

WE NEED TAX LAW REFORM TO MAKE THE WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

A long time ago... here on DU I said "Billionaires are LAUGHING at talk of raising top marginal rate from 36% to 39.6%.

Politicians work HARD to protect the wealthy.

Some politicians excepted, of course... ever notice how Senator Elizabeth Warren is ALWAYS on the right side of the tax debate BUT her proposals never quite become law??
