Exactly!! Until they pass laws that pertain to them they'll be some of the worst. They built their own retirement and medical plans so they have no problem robbing social security accounts or switching up our healthcare.
I find it troubling that many come into the H of R and Senate in one tax bracket and leave incredibly richer, then go on to lobby against most of our best interest for mountains of money.
I do not know for sure personally, I've heard Trump was one of a very few who lost money being president. I understand he never took the pay. Anyone know for sure?

I disagree massively in those statements. I dont even know where to begin to refute every sentence.
But , this country affords us that right to disagree

Last time I checked, folks have the right to earn whatever their potential is. We dont assign individuals a skill and work in life . Folks choose what they want or do not want to pursue.

Some have many more and much better choices than others. But as you said, we have the right to express different opinions.

His golf outing expenses alone (which we paid for) were many times his salary.

We are a capitalist society. No one has a right to “ Wealth”. You want it, go out and get it.

There’s no straightup fair way to tax…
But here’s one loony idea:
We, the people, need to pay our taxes to the states, who need to take over spending on ‘people issues’. The states need to pay the Fed, who would mainly pay only for defense, the Soc.Security everyone gets at old age, interstate highways, air traffic and a handful of other things at a national level.
That’ll return focus to local & state politics ( and Congress) and off of POTUSA and “______’s administration” which seems to make up about 60% of everything we talk about in politics.

Thia is one of many. Most estimate total cost to taxpayers of a little over $144 billion.

Fact check: Trump has spent far more time at golf clubs than Obama had at same point
Criticized for golfing twice on a Memorial Day weekend during which the US coronavirus death toll approached 100,000, President Donald Trump responded Sunday and Monday by drawing attention, again, to former President Barack Obama's golfing.

So you're saying you felt that way when the economy was booming, unemployment was at an all time low, manufacturing was shifting back to the US, gas was cheaper, 2A wasn't under any serious threat, our military's moral wasn't in the toilet from woke politics, and the borders were more secure.....🤣🤣🤣
You really are a cartoon character because you're funny....🤣👍

You are correct. It was million, not billion. I was not able to edit the post. Sorry.That number isn't remotely close to credible.

The IRS, as an institution, was never lawfully established.
It will always be a rouge organization, with no fair taxes,
and used as a political tool/weapon. Abolish it.
More American ways can be found to collect what is needed
to operate the Nation. We are drowning in debt; only way to
keep the hogs from the $lop trough is to turn the spigot off.
Zillions thrown into the air by irresponsible politicians and,
what?, what one of them spent on golf is an issue???
And for all those who feel particularly patriotic about taxes,
send the Government all you want; it is your right and it's
legal and will be accepted.

I was on the staff of a 3 Star General and was told that his golf outings were opportunities to get together and informally discuss the pressing issues, make decisions, cut deals, etc with other upper echelon officers without all the red tape. He accomplished more on his golf outings then he did working the issues through the proper channels the rest of the week. I would assume the POTUS tradition of golf outings is something similar. That would justify the need, if you want to justify the cost, well that is another issue entirely.
