Elephant Droppings

McConnell was out stabbing backs
When Donald Trump fell off the tracks
400 PER WEEK?
How dare Donald speak -
Have the rich agreed to pay tax?

Trump will never show us his taxes, even though it was a campaign promise in 2016. I bet he doesn't pay any taxes at all, but my sister says Trump is probably not as wealthy as he professes to be. Seems McConnell has hitched his wagon to a falling star. Lindsay Graham may go down too. Compelling limerick, Rico!

Your sister is wrong as Trump has looted the Treasury from Day 1, e.g., by ordering military in transit to overnight at Trump Resorts instead of transient barracks, etc. Trump's father and grandfather taught him how to loot the treasury and evade taxation! Aloha! Rico

TV News reported Jeff Bezos earned $18-billion on one day this month! Imagine what a difference it would make if he paid income tax at the same rate as you! Aloha! Rico

They need to pay the same equal value as we do... I'm tired of Donald T doesn't show his tax .. what is he hiding, that he is not paying any.. IRS should take what he owes with interest.

Trump's campaign promise was to install a Flat Tax on Day 1, but after Day 1, he has never mentioned it again. The wealthiest American corporations and people seldom pay any tax at all (Warren Buffett is THE exception) which is why the National Debt is so horrific! Aloha! Rico
