TAX RETURNS: Follow the money

| July 15, 2020 1:00 AM

I just watched a story on the news about the recent Supreme Court decision regarding giving Congress access to the president’s tax returns. The stated reason for needing them was to help write ethics legislation.

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to look at the tax returns of people who went into politics being of average financial means but became millionaires through “public service”” Anyone with the common sense of a tossed green salad would begin THERE, what with there being 535 examples. But they already know how THAT’S done.

It is my belief they simply cannot believe anyone can make money living within the law because they couldn’t. That’s why they got into politics.
