I agree. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Why? So that we can all be equally poor? How many times has Biden said that the wealthy need to pay their fair share? Of course he didn't mean the Washington political elites and certainly not himself nor his family. Just as in any other communist country there's a separate set of rules that apply to those who make the rules for the rest of us.
You do realize Joe Biden actually pays his taxes, unlike your dictator wannabe. He released his tax returns.

"President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, earned $610,702 during their first year in the White House and paid $150,439 in federal income taxes. That was a tax rate of 24.6% for 2021, well over the average of around 14% for all Americans.

The totals were similar to the Bidens' 2020 returns, when they reported earning $607,336 as he ran for president. They reported a federal income tax rate of 25.9% then." - https://www.npr.org/2022/04/15/10931325 ... turns-show

From the information publicly available so far, is it possible to make an estimate of the effective tax rate that Trump has paid in recent years? If so, what is it? Of course, we do know that he considers it "smart" for a rich guy like himself to pay no tax at all, if possible [Source: Trump/Clinton Presidential debate].

Undoubtedly most of Biden's $17 million in net worth came from his under the table income. And his administration, namely Garland, did everything in their power to let Hunter off with a misdemeanor including waiting until the statute of limitations had run on the years 2014-2015 which likely had more incriminating information on the Big Guy's role in the family business.

We need more gun laws, and yet when it comes to fellow Democrats, they're not willing to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

All of this Hunter Biden crap is a diversionary ploy and a way of saying, “See, your guy ain’t so virtuous either.”

Of course, Biden did not try to overthrow democracy, which is the important thing. He could be financially corrupt as the summer day is long, and that would not lead to him trying to become a dictator or illegally trying to hold onto power against the will of most Americans. Trumpists have to deceive themselves to conclude otherwise.

This information is out there.

Given the incredible magnitude of difference between the players that ajax adores and the players that ajax despises, none of his anger or demands for justice appear to be based on deeds so much as party alignment.

This is the problem that many folks have with the MAGA movement and its proclamations. There’s no apparent moral or ethical basis behind any of it.

"Donald Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.

The 1995 tax records, never before disclosed, reveal the extraordinary tax benefits that Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, derived from the financial wreckage he left behind in the early 1990s through mismanagement of three Atlantic City casinos, his ill-fated foray into the airline business and his ill-timed purchase of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan."

Yup. shareholders lose money. contractors aren't paid. And Trump got 916 million of subsequent income tax free ...

Democrats have been trying to overthrow democracy since before Donald Trump was even elected president when they first weaponized the Department of Justice to spy on the Trump campaign. Democrats only want democracy when their candidate gets more electoral votes.

How is it that Hunter and Jim are paying Joe's bills and outright giving him money and yet somehow still have the nerve to say that Joe Biden never benefited from the money that the CCP, Ukraine, Romania, Mexican Oligarch Slim etc. etc. gifted to the Jim, Hunter, Haley, Biden's grandchildren etc, for no discernible consideration? What did they get in return? A Hunter Biden painting?

Wait; last week, the story was that Joe was a zillionaire from his (checks notes) Global Crime Operation, for which there is (checks notes) no evidence provided.

This week, Joe is supposedly so poor that he needs to have Hunter pay his minor bills, per (checks notes) no evidence provided.

Can you decide which no-evidence story line you want to stick with?
