FR : How Did We Get Here ? First of all, what does it matter what a candidate makes ? Richer is better or poorer is better ? What's more, one of the reasons billionaires don't pay alot of taxes is because their money is made, they don't have to make more. And then we have Clinton with a "Foundation" to hide alot of money. The way it works in business is that you don't really have to own the money, you just have to control the money. For example banks, they bribe congress with YOUR money, but then YOU gave them control of it. Like incorporation, you distance yourself from the money but still control it while being insulated from lawsuits and even criminal charges in many cases. But you can still throw a thousand or a million here and there and be almost accountable to nobody. Maybe the shareholders if your firm is publicly traded but that is about it. So Clinton has a "Foundation", Romney has the Mormon Church, Trump might just reinvest his profits as fast as possible and show zero income. But certainly he does not need that $300,000 Presidential salary. You can be rich as hell and show practically no income. Interest income maybe but only on what you draw out of the bank. Like the Rothschilds. Estimated by Credit Suisse to have $230 trillion. Not all in cash and gold but I bet they got some gold stashed somewhere nobody knows about. Why do they bother to do anything ? In fact, either there is a news blackout about their activities or they really don't do much. With that kind of money I wouldn't. So I would say their personal incomes could be quite low. They simply don't need it. You want to see my taxes ? If I were President personal freedom would be paramount. We would start charging big business taxes and if they move out they get tariffs on their product. I would find the best, and I mean the very best in the healthcare industry to run our new single payer plan. Sure your income taxers go up but then think of this - you are not paying ten grand a year in premiums and ten grand a year in deductibles. What's more, since everything is covered no matter what your car insurance goes down because we won't have this fifty grand for a broken leg. We need to find the people who run Cleveland Clinic and that other one the Sheiks and Emirs go to. They run it. The government just writes the checks for payroll, and equipment and supplies. Well utilities and building maintenance etc. as well. There is no room on the top floor with a dozen people making two million a year each. And with drug companies, import them all. Go ahead Pfizer and ship your shit to Japan for half the price you gouge us, we'll just buy it there and fuck you. You won't sell a fucking aspirin here. The government has to remember it is the government. Its job is not to spy on the People and extract their wealth. Its job is to protect the People from predators. Right now they are doing all the shit they shouldn't and none of the shit they should. Of course if President I would have my own people between me and the secret service, and no doctors. And I certainly would not go riding around in convertibles in Texas to say the least. T^T
