Amendment 24 and a half

Donald “as a businessman has a fiduciary responsibility to pay no more income* tax than necessary.”

Who knew? But it’s probably true that in America one does have a fiduciary responsibility to the self.

It’s probably amendment 24 and a half, or something like that, to the constitution.

Imagine being jailed for charitable donations to the national treasury?

On the subject, America would be better off just scrapping taxation and printing ALL the money that their governments spend.

Oddly though, this would put the highest burden of taxation on the wealthiest 1% (that own some stupidly high fraction of the national wealth) by devaluing their currency at hand. 

They’d respond by getting out of cash or America (like they do now).

So all this flat-rate approach would do is save everyone else from filling out tax returns. Still worth it, I reckon.
