Personal & Nonsensical, Rants and Observations

an ironic view of building a wall

Well.

The United States Commander in Symbolism Chief is at it again.

Except on this day he not only seems to be establishing the upcoming war for the soul of America but also the war over our tax revenue.

………………. The Wall …………………….

I have no doubt that President Trump will be doing some hacking to existing government programs and planned spending to free up funds to pay for all the shit he is suggesting we are gonna do … but as it appears to date … he seems to feel the pocket book <most likely be prefers a wallet> is open and bottomless.

Here is the irony.

This all costs money to do.

And this money comes from one of two places … business tax revenue or citizen tax revenue.

We already know that larger businesses do not pay shit for taxes <and will apparently be paying even less than shit when President Trump slices their tax rates>.

We already know that the bulk of tax revenues come from the citizens <which includes self owned small businesses>.

Therefore … the tax money he is using to fund many of his symbolic gestures to a greater America … is yours & mine … uhm … and none of his.

We have no proof he has paid any taxes for years <decades> and … well … he sure ain’t gonna start paying now.

I may like spending money on infrastructure

I may like expanded Medicare because it helps people .

I may like cutting corporate tax rates .

I may like building a border wall .

I may like a less expensive approach toward immigration like hiring more border security & enforce existing laws .

I may like investing in military & security upgrading .

I may like contributing to all these things with my tax dollars .

But … unless proven otherwise … my President is contributing zilch.

Zero. Nada. Nothing. No money.

I find it slightly ironic that I am helping make America great and he is contributing nothing to help <and has not been for quite some time>.

I find it slightly ironic that a multi millionaire, who is playing president, is actually making money on a business he still owns <but is technically not running> and not paying taxes on that increasing self wealth and my minuscule tax dollars are funding a wall <or some semblance of one>.

And, lastly, I find it slightly ironic that no one in our congress … who we voted for to battle for what is good and right for the citizens … is saying how stupid the wall is to the President of Symbolic Actions … and the past Mexican President actually tweets what they should be saying:

—

Vicente Fox Quesada

✔ @VicenteFoxQue

Sean Spicer, I’ve said this to @realDonaldTrump and now I’ll tell you: Mexico is not going to pay for that fucking wall. #FuckingWall

Sigh.

Basically … we want to build a wall to keep out someone who is smarter and more courageous than many of the people who will be inside the fucking wall.
