The point, the only point, is that these people choose not to pay their money toward the national debt, which is borderline hypocrisy. They want higher taxes but when presented with a voice they choose avoidance for themselves, but higher taxes for me. Well, fuck that noise. That's the point. Why not be able to attach a note to our tax return saying what cause we'd like our money to go to? In the case of these rich Dems the drones are truly in love with the top 1%. And they are too stooped to see it.

*"...They want higher taxes but when presented with a voice they choose avoidance for themselves, but higher taxes for me. Well, fuck that noise..."* If the two richest men in the entire world choose to leave their ENTIRE fortunes....billions of dollars...to better mankind...what's not to like? They "avoid" taxes by giving their money away for the benefit of the entire world ...and you say "fuck that noise"? What's wrong with this picture?

Trump: I Would Have Prevented 9/11 Attacks THE DONALD INSPIRES NEW ROUND OF SNIPING By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Oct 18, 2015 3:40 PM CDT (NEWSER) – Donald Trump continued his recent attacks on the Bush family by implying today that he would have prevented the 9/11 attacks, CNN reports. The Republican presidential contender said on Fox News Sunday that he's "extremely, extremely tough on immigration," which may have thwarted the 9/11 terrorists. "There's a good chance that those people would not have been in our country," says Trump. (The Guardian, however, notes that all of the terrorists legally entered the US on tourist or business visas—except one, who used a student visa.) "I'm not blaming George Bush," adds Trump. "But I don't want Jeb Bush to say, 'My brother kept us safe,' because September 11 was one of the worst days in the history of this country." Cue the reactions: "My brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do," says Jeb Bush onState of the Union. "He united the country, he organized our country and he kept us safe. ... And I don't know why keeps bringing this up." "I would probably ask what he meant by that. I seriously doubt that he’s saying that—that George W. Bush is to blame for [9/11]," says Carson, per ABC News. "I certainly—I certainly don’t think so." And Jeb recently fired back at Trump (who's been attacking the Bush brothers on Twitter) with a video that mocks Trump as a foreign-policy lightweight while fanciful clarinet music plays in the background.
