We'll know as soon as Donnie's taxes are through being audited. Why is it taking so long?

They have somehow convinced themselves the purpose of a business is to provide goods and services, making money is just a side benefit. If you run a government like a business it's main goal would be to make money. That's not what government is for.

It would be reprehensible and awfully much against the rules to wonder hopefully what the Russians or Chinese or Saudis may do if he doesn't pay them. And as you say, he can't. But I wouldn't, as it happens, dare hope that they'll do mumble mutter ghhmph when the debts aren't paid, because if mumble mutter ghhmph did occur, every right wing nut job in the U.S. would be convinced the current administration did it, and there'd be more insurrections and mass shootings.Better if he just sulks on a crapper that's no longer gold and eats cheeseburgers to a terminal extent.

A little hot sauce will fix that.

" ... In 2013 the IRS estimated that an extra hour spent auditing someone who earns $200,000 annually generated only $650. An extra hour spent auditing someone who earns $5 million or more per year generated around $4,900. "

Reclaiming $650 on an income of $200,000 is, on a percentage basis, about 3 times more "efficient" than a return of a measly $4,900 on an income of $5 million. So it would seem that the $5 million tax payer is actually being more "honest."

Fuck audits. Impose automatic withholding on investments. They can't hide what they don't get.

I don’t want him to get physically hurt but what I do want is for everyone to know, and I want him to know that everyone else knows that he’s totally broke. I want his debts to be headlines I want all his grift, all the crimes, all the payments out in the public eye so that his cult will hear from everyone just how broke their tinpot emperor is.
