We all pay our taxes.” If only it were true. The richest individuals and corporations do not pay their share. The Cayman islands used to be the stashing grounds of choice; it might be UAE now. Exxon, despite boasting the largest corporate profits ever recorded, still receive tax breaks and subsidies. Then the fact that INCOME tax primarily is used to pay interest to the Fed makes me sick to my stomach. It doesn't buy jack squat for the average citizen -- it just makes some rich bankers richer. "A history of contempt over a period of time" is vague legal hogwash. They are making an example out of him so nobody gets any bright ideas. “Rich, poor, it doesn’t matter. We all pay our taxes.”
