Yes, America needs a real labor movement! And it would run Andrew Pudzer and his like out of town on a rail, and would not be fooled by a Lumpy Chump Grump who promises to make America great and then appoints mugwumps like Pudzer.
I suspect that they've paid/been paying their taxes like everyone else is supposed to be doing.
One of the prime goals of the GOP since Reagan, at least, is the death of the IRS. They've almost killed the part they hate most, the audit division. I assume it will now die completely. FWIW, the only people able to hide their incomes from the tax man are people who receive their income from sources that don't report (or can easily lie), or have access to lawyers who can muddy the water. Not folks like us, that's for sure.
Tax evasion is now estimated at roughly $300 Billion a year.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
