Billionaire Les Wexner tells US lawmakers he was 'naive' and 'conned' by Epstein

US billionaire Les Wexner, who is alleged to have played a key role in helping Jeffrey Epstein build his wealth,

accused Epstein of stealing "vast sums" of money from his family when working as his financial adviser.

Once you are in with one "billionaire" you are in with them all... Big money for Epstein especially because of his access to President Clinton where billionaires can get deals to remain a billionaire....

So Epstein didn't make his money from Bear Sterns.

When I say money, I mean enough to buy planes and islands and mansions.

As a conservative, I happen to believe that the Executive Branch isn’t the branch which should be imposing tariffs (except when Congress has authorized the President to do so under specific conditions).

The SCOTUS ruling on tariffs therefore doesn’t shock me. But I agree that this is just a temporary road block to the President’s larger plans.

I see nobody in modern American history as determined as President Trump has been to undo the damage of leftist ideology. I pull for him every day.

If roughly half of the Congress (the Dems) never gives an actual **** about the Constitution and our society, having a President like Trump is a godsend.

He ran up $8T in new debt on his first term. If you were actually a conservative, you'd slit your wrist before voting for him. You're not a conservative...having a black president short circuited what small gray matter you had left and you've never been the same since.

Tariffs are the recourse of a country that cannot compete on the international market place. I want there to be no tariffs. I like to buy imported goods. I want them to be as inexpensive as possible.

Tariffs have their place.
Such as when a country uses it's national government to assist an industry, so they can produce goods at less than the market rate of other countries.

Tariffs are for "unfair" competition.
And to protect a countries infant industries.

That is why the legislative body imposes them after vigorous examination, hearings and debate

The richer and more income they make, over the standard deduction or itemized deductions, the more they pay....and the more income they have to pay without worrying about food for their family and a roof over their heads....

The 50% that don't end up paying in, don't earn enough "profit" to pay taxes on it...the profits so to say, would be income over and above what it takes to run a basic household....people who don't pay taxes is simply because they don't earn enough to have excess, to have a profit to tax once they take their living deductions, ...the standard deduction is applied to their income.

I'm pretty certain those 50% that don't earn enough to have more than they need to survive, would gladly...ecstatically pay the taxes the top 1% pays in order to have their income.

Supposing when you pay sales taxes, the Feds got nosy as they are on your income?

The day Trump took office; the United States faced from moderate tariffs-imposed on us to massive tariffs. Trump has repaired that problem.

You know the poor and even the illegals pay a whole range of government taxes and fees.

They pay sales taxes. We need to convert all taxes to sales taxes. It causes a lot more to pay taxes and that can pay the national debt.

The problem is that during the transition, people end up paying double or more taxes.
If we go from an average 30% income tax, to a flat 30% sales tax. Those who have savings, end up paying 30% to earn it, and another 30% to spend it.
That's an effective tax rate of 50%.

He made contacts at Sterns... and he fell into a group of billionaires... and key!!!... he was good at his job of making people money with their money...
And like I said... he had contacts in big places like Clinton and the Prince and Gates... it also looks like he was into espionage and bribery....

Sure I can judge you. I've been reading your nonsense for 20 years now.

Tell me what conservative principle you believed under Bush that you still believe under Trump, that Trump also believes.

I'll give you one, which Trump doesn't actually believe: abortion.

First I’d need you to recognize what the conservative principles are in your world?

Ya see, I don’t give a rat’s ass about your ignorant opinions, kid. But, you couldn’t tell me any principles of conservatism (ever) since you don’t comprehend such things.

And no. You can’t judge me. You think you can. But you can’t. You’re seriously not capable of such things.

Poor candyass. Still can’t think on her own.
