BREAKING: Wealthy individual uses every available legal method to avoid giving up his hard-earned money to a wasteful government

He should take notes on everyone's criticisms and close every one of those tax loopholes by executive order, if that's possible.

It seems like all the billionaires in America become card-carrying liberals the moment they have the opportunity to use all of those tax loopholes so why not shut them all down at once?

One person's loophole is another person's government driven tax incentive.

More like billionaires suddenly start complaining about tax loopholes when their competitors start using them.

It’s all about the taxes in my opinion. My theory about the shut downs goes beyond just the power/control grab and hatred of Trump and good economy. I genuinely think that there were too many prosperous small businesses so they needed to cull the herd. A small business owner can file things under the business and claim legal tax deductions that make their income larger, even if it doesn’t directly equal more money coming home on a paycheck. Those reduce their taxable income which equals less riches for the ruling politician class to siphon into their own pockets. Can’t have people able to take advantage of the exact things they put in place for themselves. We the people had to be cut down to size. Anyone that survived is now facing second wave with BLM protests in some areas. Makes me sick.

If you're gainfully employed by a small business then you can't become a wage slave for citibank. Your boss suddenly isn't some faceless bureaucracy but a person you deal with every day and you can emphasize with company executives.

I think you nailed it.

Yep. I’ve used that scenario explaining my theory to others but used Amazon as the example. Amazon can treat their employees like crap because if you leave, there’s a long line of people behind you waiting to take your place. Small business is more likely to give you better time off, better job security and better wages and if you are the owner and can dictate your own schedule, your work/life balance is going to be a lot better. Over the past four years I’ve seen a lot of people turn a small part time hustle into a full fledged small business because of good economy blesses all...except apparently corrupt politicians.

At this point I'm actually starting to feel bad for some of the people on the left. The media is milking their TDS for every last drop, and every time they get hyped for the next bug drop that is "surely going to finish drumpf this time!" it's yet another nothing burger. No wonder these people are so mentally ill, the media is literally enabling their mental illness (kinda like they do with trans people!)

Hey leftists, this is what we aspire to be!
