Comments by "gary K" (@garyK.45ACP) on "Biden used tax shelters to avoid paying taxes on $13M over 3 years" video.

Tax shelters and deductions are NOT illegal. But they ARE hypocritical when used by a person that advocates raising "taxes on the wealthy"

@cgrey4082 Right. I am not wealthy, but I use lots of tax shelters. A 401K is a tax shelter. So are Health Savings accounts. I have both. Always have, always will. I am a "Trumpite", whatever that is. I voted for Trump and think he was the best President ever. Reagan was number 2. I have no trouble with facts.

Tax shelters and deductions are NOT illegal. But they ARE hypocritical when used by a person that advocates raising "taxes on the wealthy", and ARE an indication that wealthy people have ways to avoid the taxes the Democrats depend on them paying. And if they can avoid the taxes, then WHO will be paying for all their programs? YOU!!!!!!!!! Stop believing that "the wealthy will pay and you won't"

@ehthomas3511 NO, I did not. Trump did the same thing. He isn't stupid. He used the tax code as written to his advantage. GOOD ON HIM! I would expect nothing less of Trump, you or Biden. The difference is Trump REDUCED taxes on corporations and wealthy people and did not give us the nonsense that "the rich will pay" as Biden does. Biden is not a criminal (for this) but he IS a hypocrite. Trump is NOT a hypocrite. When questioned on his taxes during the debate he answered "I used the tax code YOU wrote, Joe" I never, ever "cried" about Trump doing the same thing. Stop making things up.

@ehthomas3511 Apology accepted. I voted for Trump twice.

@njp6343 Using LEGAL tax shelters is not "above the law" it IS the law. US Tax Code. Everyine uses tax shelters, I do, you do, Trump does, Biden does. THIS video is a "non-scandal". Let's look into how a public servant MADE so much money, not how he followed the tax cade.
2
Because Trump did the same and lots of uninformed people think this is ILLEGAL Look at the comments! Despite them saying several times in the video that what Biden did is NOT illegal, most of the commenters think this is a "crime" Democrats wanted to say the thing about Trump.

@mrBDeye Yes, there are...BUT, using legal tax shelters is NOT one of them. Now a person may legitimately ask..."Hmm, how does a public servant have so much money to shelter?" You know, someone that never had a real estate empire and a popular TV show for 11 years. Or even a real job. Well, book deals are one thing. Books, to politicians, are often just a means to get bribe money. This was very well illustrated by former TX congressman Jim Wright. "Speaking fees" are another way to bribe politicians. But that is NOT what the video focused on. Maybe it should have.
1
@mrBDeye Right. Yeah, I don't know how he got all the money. Why would I? Do you? NO! And YES, that is a legitimate question and YES, reporters should look into that. But THIS video is NOT about that, and I was commenting on THIS video.

@mrBDeye There are many corporate and personal tax shelters, I do not pretend to know the entire tax code or what shelters Biden used. I do not review Biden's taxes. I have no need to know the entire tax code, I am not a tax attorney or accountant. Legal tax shelters are NOT illegal. Period. Not only did I say Biden is not a criminal for using legal tax shelters...so did Senator Johnson , Rep. Tom Emmer, and the host of this show. 4:40 NO ONE in this video accused Biden of a crime for using tax shelters. He IS a hypocrite. Being a hypocrite is NOT illegal. Biden may well be a criminal...but NOT for using tax shelters.
1
@mrBDeye 401Ks and Health Savings accounts are tax shelters that many people use. I use them. Not sure if Biden used them, but there are thousands of them.
1
Wait...you mean wealthy people find a way NOT to pay taxes? "I had no idea there was gambling in Casa Blanca"😒
1
Using tax deductions, credits and other means within the tax code is NOT illegal. But, in Biden's case, it is hypocritical.

@johnnyd6715 The "country coming together" has NOTHING to do with Congress coming together. Congress IS, always has been, and is INTENDED to be, an adversarial system. It is NOT supposed to be easy to pass Federal laws. Congress should NEVER be the yardstick by which we measure "national unity". THAT would be stupid. The Constitution leaves it up to STATES to make most of the laws and they can make it as easy as they wish. Making FEDERAL laws that affect the entirety of a hugely diverse population of 300+ million people with hugely diverse interests SHOULD be difficult. That said, in Congress...Democrats in the Senate should compromise on bills enough to get at least 10 Republican votes. A 50/50 "majority" is not reason to stuff the Democrat agenda down everyone's throat. Senators represent STATES, not the people. That is WHY there are two Senators from each state. That is WHY Vermont has the same number of Senators as California. The House of Representatives represents the people. The "talking filibuster" is OK. The minority party can filibuster as long as they want, taking turns speaking until the majority removes the bill from consideration, OR compromises ...OR in a 50/50 Senate, Republicans could just not show up and deny a quorum to the Democrats. (quorum requires 50 Senators but there MUST BE at least ONE Senator from the minority) BUT...under Senate rules, they only consider ONE bill at a time. So the talking filibuster (used until 1971) ties up the Senate from working on anything else. The idea of either is to force compromise. It is always the "majority" that must compromise to get the 60 votes UNLESS they have 60+ Senators. The cloture rule, requiring 60 votes, simply allows the Senate to move on to other things without the need to waste time with a talking filibuster. I say, leave it as is. There appears to be no way to end the 60 vote rule as it stands today anyway. At least two, and as many as seven, Democrat Senators oppose changing it. Smart move. Because the Democrats are very likely going to lose the majority in 2022.

@cgrey4082 Please attach links to sources that a "significant majority" of GOP voters "approve of what the Biden administration is doing".

@cgrey4082 You said: "What is most unfortunate: while being a "one term loser" he "lost" the lives of up to half a MILLION people living in the US. For no reason than his own self-interest. " Is it your position that IF Hillary Clinton had been President when covid-19 arrived that -0- people would have died from covid-19? Can you support that with any facts? Please link to your sources that would prove that -0- people would have died from covid-19 during a Hillary Clinton presidency.

@cgrey4082 You said: >>>Opinions are not facts. They are merely opinions. Some opinions are more valid than others. That's invariably opinions which are well grounded in objective, verifiable, credible, replicable and source-referenced facts.<<< Correct. Still waiting for the objective, verifiable, credible, replicable and source related facts that you will provide that... 1. A significant majority of GOP voters support what the Biden administration is doing. AND 2. That under a Hillary Clinton administration that -0- people would have died from covid-19. (If Trump "caused 500,000 deaths", then that would mean Hillary would have prevented ALL of those deaths. Prove it.) I expect all your evidence to be objective, verifiable, credible, replicable and source-referenced facts. I'll wait here.

@cgrey4082 You have stated that "Trumpites" always change the subject. The "subject" of the video was "Biden's taxes" But you have discussed everything BUT the subject. Why are YOU changing the subject?
1
@cgrey4082 And, as always, when a liberal is asked to produce the evidence they demand from "Trumpites", they run away. Everything you said C Grey, is "without evidence". Everything you said, C. Grey, was a change of the subject of the video.
1
@cgrey4082 I specifically said, several times, that what Biden did with his taxes is NOT illegal. I use tax shelters, too. Feel free to read what I wrote. Feel free to watch the video, where it is also stated several times that what Biden did with his taxes is NOT illegal. BUT...you change the subject and fail to provide any evidence. Please provide the evidence you demand of others for everything YOU stated. Otherwise, you are just displaying liberal hypocrisy
1
@cgrey4082 Changing the subject again is proof of liberal hypocrisy.
1
@cgrey4082 I am not asking "Trumpites" for evidence, I am asking YOU for evidence. Every post you make without evidence proves my point. Thank you. Please post the evidence of every claim you have made in this comment section. The evidence should meet your specified requirements. Waiting.

@cgrey4082 <------- runs like a scared little girl when asked to provide the same evidence for his statements that he demands from "Trumpites" 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️️ 🤣🤣🤣

@cgrey4082 Hi, little girl...still running I see. Didn't provide any evidence of what YOU said. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤣🤣
1
@cgrey4082 Finally got it right? I said that in my FIRST comment. Waiting for your evidence, based on your standards, for every claim you have made. Waiting.

@cgrey4082 Deflecting again. Run away little Cathy grey! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️️ 🤣 Produce YOUR evidence of every claim you made. OR...continue to run, cathy
