    If the money was made overseas and never comes to the states then it isn’t tax evasion.

    1. If its made in investments of bankrupt companies IN the states, and the money is taken OUT of the states and put in another country, and then the money is spent BACK in the states on, say, homes, at a lower, loopholed tax rate, one thats lobbied by money, then it becomes tax evasion.

      ^^Incorrect. As a U.S. citizen, he is taxed on worldwide income, regardless of whether the money makes it to the states. However, he would get a tax credit for any of the taxes he paid on his earnings in other countries. Still, chances are he’s not cheating the system and the government knows about the earnings from these investments.

    Tax evasion? I call it civil disobedience a la Thoreau. Oh wait, I forgot that civil disobedience is only acceptable if you agree with Obama or do it for the sake of liberal causes. This country is going to hell in a goddamn handbasket because of filth like the current campaigner in chief.

      I wouldn’t even call it ‘civil disobedience.’ That would imply the government has the right to tax it in the first place…
      Keeping what’s yours. TFM.

    2. Right. and your boy W never campaigned while in office, never went golfing, and CERTAINLY never went to his ranch hundreds of times. Yet, said “mission accomplished.” Ignorance is bliss, especially if you’re from Texas/the South.

      ^Please do your research and learn what “mission accomplished” was actually referring to before you start calling other people ignorant.

      Obama has played more golf than any president of all time. Learn your shit you meaningless hippie.

      Ordinarily I’d say golfing while you should be working is TFTC… but Obama wears cargo shorts when he golfs.

    Whatever liberal geed put that chart together obviously doesn’t know what a blind trust is or how it works. The whole fucking point of a blind trust is that the owner of the trust doesn’t have any control over how the funds in the trust are invested, which are instead directed by a third party, in order to eliminate any accusation of impropriety.

      Its really easy to make someone look like a manipulative villain by showing how spread out his assets are. People fear what they don’t understand, and the majority of liberals don’t understand money. If they did, they wouldn’t be liberal.

    2. Liberals understand money. They understand that tax evasion is fucked up. But, fuck Obama right? Lets just keep running this country to the ground, and put all the blame on him. Again, ignorance is bliss, and if you’re on TFM, you don’t need to look at the facts, just band together with all the other hicks, say your opinion without backing it up, and call it a day. Pretty magical.

      I’m pretty sure this picture was pulled off of Obama’s website, moveon.org, Socialism In Action.
