He's a continually grifting, rotten-ass, billionaire, so he'll be able to pay it back.

How the fuck do you owe seven billion dollars in back taxes without going to prison?

And how fucking long did this go on until it was noticed?


Wonder what would happen if I didn't pay my 800 bux a year on property tax? Bet they'd pitch a major bitch right fast.

And let's face it, anyone of us poor or average folks that tried to thumb their noses at the IRS for a lot less money.

I think they were doing stuff technically legal with clever loopholes.

But not his personal tax bill, but he and many others benefited.

The title of the OP makes it look that way.

Take out a traitor, and maybe collect on those takes he and his hedge fund have been evading. It would be a win-win.

is really backfiring on more and more big time "deplorables." Loving it!

To slip into the big, beautiful tax cut plan to take care of this.

A big hunk of this tax is due to use of a fraudulent practice called basket options that make no economic sense

I heard about that a couple of hours ago and the magnitude still hasn’t sunk in. No wonder he helped all these psychos run for office — it literally part of the crime. No wonder he got rid of his Breitbart Etc holdings this week — he couldn’t have them connected to the crime of the century.

...is likely a sign Mercer is in it deep & in deep trouble!

$900Million

Dickens comes in handy once again.

I've always figured that was a major motivation for Trump to run. It makes sense that one of his primary backers also needs a bit of "protection."

When has the IRS ever been spoke of by the RW as anything other than villain. And so too will the RW propaganda machine churn into high gear to convince the rubes, thus giving authoritarian Dotard the shelter he needs to pardon his friend and co-conspirator criminal donor.

Robert Mercer - pay your fucking taxes, then leave this country for good!
Pay up and get out.

I owe just under $1000 in back taxes, and I get two phone calls and a letter each month reminding me that I must pay or else face stiff consequences.

But this fucker owes literally SEVEN MILLION times what I owe, and he gets to buy a president?


Pitchfork time, people!

Supposedly his hedge fund is worth $50 Billion. But what if it isn't?

I don't the numbers in front of me, but here's how it went in my case:

I mistakenly thought that my employer was withholding my local taxes. Ultimately, I accept that this is my error, so I offer it not as an excuse but as an explanation. Over time, I missed payments totaling about $1300, and eventually I received a bill for $3200 (taxes plus fees and interest). Had I not entered into a payment agreement within 14 days, this would have been taken directly from my wages (and I believe that they could have gone after my savings directly, as well).

So here's this fucker owing $7B, and we're just talking about it? Fuck him! Give him 14 days to pay the full amount or enter into a payment plan that will satisfy his debt, plus fees etc.

If he can pay, great. If he can't pay it, take it from him.

How much longer will we have to out up with this Trump Crime Family bullshit?


K&R, thanks for posting, CousinIT

so $22 million to sway elections.. a good investment.

Surprised???

No wonder he was such a successful businessman.

Just kicking it to the top, because I think this is what Democrats should be talking about, not some hack’s latest book or what Clinton and/or Sanders SHOULD have said or done a year and a half ago.

Someone at the IRS needs fired - Shit, that could probably buy a lot of Trump's golf trips

fed to the lions while people ate Roman style popcorn in the Colosseum or poor French women took their knitting with them to watch the guillotine in action. Of course watching the tarring and feathering of someone like this is always a guaranteed souse of entertainment for the average, law abiding taxpayer too.

...a mere bagatelle to them. The Mercers and Kochs and a few others are crazy rich.

because so many of these assholes find clever ways to avoid paying their fair share

yet I don't recall hearing anything about it. You'd think it would have been a bigger story. In the Trump era, there are so many breaking stories, many get lost in the noise.

mercer, kochs, putin, trump get this free because the left ignores it:

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations rw talk radio is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating of good citizens, attacks on public education and teachers, passing voter suppression legislation, trying to repeal obamacare, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.

The fact that the wingnut has a monopoly on broadcasting and press has been normalized

He is a traitor.
