Why does Trump hate veterans so much?
"The Trump Administration plans to abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions at the Dept of Veterans Affairs this month...

"The cuts come after a reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 V.A. employees this year..."

From richest Americans to too many small businesses, avoiding paying taxes is just a game! Some keep one set of books saying they make little if any profits - for the Tax man! And another set in case they want to sell there highly profitable business! Lying is totally acceptable to them!#Taxes
Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.
The world’s richest person just hit another major milestone thanks to the soaring valuation of his rocket maker SpaceX.

The film turned a critical lens toward Christian nationalism.
