Many Nazis believe Jews are manipulative political hacks, or even worse. That's not new at all. Today Trump's economic advisor Gary Cohn told "The Financial Times" that Trump must do far better in denouncing white supremacists. “As a patriotic American, I am reluctant to leave my post … because I feel a duty to fulfill my commitment to work on behalf of the American people. But I also feel compelled to voice my distress over the events of the last two weeks.” But of course Gary Cohn is "one of those Jews" of the political hack type you find so offensive. Some believe Trump will end Gary Cohen's 'fake anguish' by appointing him to Chair the Federal Reserve. As Fed Chair I'm sure Gary Cohen will be given special protection from Trump's torch-carrying marching Nazis.

What's going to be a SHOCKER is the identity of the "swamp creatures" who are keeping the Tax Code unchanged. As Donald Trump and Steve Mnuchin fight to bring down income tax rates on those earning more than $450,000 annually by eliminating swamp creature deductions, the swamp will fight back. Currently all swamp creatures can deduct their property taxes, mortgage interest and charitable donations from their taxable income. When Trump tries to eliminate those deductions we'll all discover who the swamp creatures are. Being that you're a citizen of New Zealand, I'm pretty sure you're not one of those horrible home-owner creatures Trump talks about, but I'd be willing to bet that a large percentage of Americans who post on Silicon Investors will discover their secret swamp creature identity. The one deduction Steve Mnuchin is insistent on saving is the "carried interest" deduction for hedge funds which allows folks like Mnuchin, Mitt Romney and Warren Buffett to pay only 13% annually in total taxes. But Mnuchin wants to restrict this deduction to only those who 'create jobs'. What this means is when a hedge fund buys a company, the current owner will need to fire a large percentage of the employees before the deal closes so the new hedge fund owner can hire people and tick the 'create jobs' box on their tax form. Another big passel of swamp creatures are churches and other non-profits which don't pay income tax!
