WAPO: Donald Trump the welfare king - Dana Milbank

The avalanche continues at WAPO. Now he is the King of Welfare. Why? Because like many other rich people he pays little or no taxes.  Instead, he pays good accountants to plan his expenditures, and good lawyers to help them plot to keep is taxes as low as is legal.

I wish I could do that, but lack the money to pay, as well as the income to hide.

All people who pay more that is required of them on purpose to the IRS should read this trash.

For the rest of us, let's just have a stiff drink, wish we were in Trump's shoes, and shut up.

One thing is for certain:

Trump isn't being audited because he paid too much tax....more

He has been audited for years, but his lawyers are better than the Treasuries, and the have so far won his battles.
That is why he should not release his taxes to 100K left wing lawyers to investigate/investigate!! until they find something.

How many of us have studies our own 100 page tax packages when our Accountant sends them back? Not me, and I am certainly not in Trump's league

Daily Musings 5/17/2016 WSG. Hilary-the Conservative Hope-

WSJ:Hillary the conservative hope- Bret Stephens

"What isn’t survivable is a Republican president who is part Know Nothing, part Smoot-Hawley and part John Birch. The stain of a Trump administration would cripple the conservative cause for a generation. "

Rational thought has left the "conservatives" of the Republican Party. After 16 years of government growth aided by "conservatives" and abetted by promises of "elect us and it will be better" we are now, once more, asked to wait another 16 years or more.

"If the next presidency is going to be a disaster, why should the GOP want to own it?"

I can think of a couple of reasons.
1. Trump is a problem solver, and we have lots of problems.
2. Trump will select members of the Supreme Court that are not democratic ideologues.

" serial fabulist, an incorrigible self-mythologizer, a brash vulgarian, "
Wow, a president who thinks a lot of himself! Can we think of any others?

So we are left with "brash vulgarian". So the fact that Trump isn't PC or even polite means he cannot have conservative ideas, or be effective as a president.

"For conservatives, a Democratic victory in November means the loss of another election, with all the policy reversals that entails. That may be dispiriting, but elections will come again"

No, for America it means the loss of the Middle East, The Far East, Latin America, the conversion of this country into a "Social Democracy" and the importation of millions of legal and ilegal immigrants to swell the ranks of democrats to the point we will never have another Republican President, or control our economy.

Daily Roundup 3/9/2016 - Hilary unlikely to be indicted, Jewish Journal hack job

WAPO: Hillary unlikely to be indicted - Ruth Marcus

You sound rational but are not.
1. She doesn't know that classification is at the source, and materials need to be protected if they could be classified until they are marked classified, not the reverse.
2. She is one of the few people that can classify/declassify information directly, but she doesn't know the rules.
3. There is no indication that she used any protection for her server and yet seems to have had over a thousand classified documents on it, some with the highest compartmentalized rating.
Knowledge is not necessary to perform according to standard procedures, and the claim "I didn't know" doesn't work for either the IRS or Security.
She needs to be put in jail, not just indicted. Otherwise we are giving cart blanche to millions of security clearance holders to play fast and loose with our security.

She is unlikely to be indicted because of the President's overwhelming control over our justice system. Yet another example of the Obama's imperialism.

Jewish Journal: A 2016 Election without Donald Trump, by Raphael Sonenshein

What a democratic hack job.

You assume democratic positions are right, never go into the prospects of bankrupcy, foreign affairs and devote all your time on "who provides more for their voters." You accuse Republicans of voter suppression as if a voter ID was the same as a "go to jail" card.

We are close to 19T and you never mention that just maintenance of that debt is the second or third largest expense of the government, an expense we are increasing by handing out goodies we cannot afford.

Give us a break and think!
