Trump Log #64: We Pay For This

The New York Times has been uncovering things about Trump's past, on how he has made his money, that is a little disturbing but is no surprise. It just confirms what we already knew about him.  His story of being a self made man is a lie, imagine that. He lied. These stories of his tax fraud will change no one's mind about him. Those of us who hate him, already suspected this. Those you like him, like him because of this, and will continue to like him ... even though it is them (us), the tax payer, that he screwed when he made his millions. Interesting times we live in.

When a millionaire or billionaire cheats on their taxes, we pay for it in many ways. For one, our government doesn't get the money that it needs so it raises taxes, hence we pay. But we also pay for it in loss of services. Next time you hit a pothole on a federal road or a program you need is cut, please remember tax cheating assholes like Trump and his father. Their lives are so comfortable yet, they will do their best to take food off your table to make a few extra bucks.

You pay for tariffs as well. When the President increases a tariff on Chinese products, they don't pay the tariffs, you do. When you buy any of these products, the company that imports them has to pay the tariff, but they recoup that cost by raising the price.  We pay for the higher price not China. China gets hurt because we will by less because of the higher price.

The tax cuts for billionaires, we pay for them as well.

It is high comedy, this administration. It is the type of comedy that makes you cry along with your laughter. The working class people who voted for him, they are being hurt the most and most of them will never blame Trump.
