 Congress has decided, I guess, a committee in the House of Representatives has this authority, has decided to release Donald Trump's tax records to the public. They're going to be redacted, so there'll be different personal items that will be blocked out, but we'll get to see the actual numbers after people have been very curious. This is after the Supreme Court said that the IRS had to hand over the records to Congress, to this subcommittee in Congress. I don't know if the Supreme Court had in mind that these would be made public, but I assume it did because there's no reason once Congress has access to these records that they're not available to everybody. It is interesting that Congress has the ability to take an individual, now granted he was president, tax records and just make them public. I don't know what I think about that. It doesn't seem completely right. On the other hand, Donald Trump was president, is running for president. Things like tax records should be something that we see as part of our decision to vote for him or not. It'll be interesting to see what the tax records say about Trump. The fact that he'll have a bunch of deductions to try to avoid taxes I think is a virtue, not a vice, but it will be interesting to see how much incoming actually is reporting. We've already seen that the Trump businesses were found guilty of fraud on 17 different accounts of fraud. We know the business has been doing all kinds of things to finangling in order to minimize taxes and in order to get the best loan conditions out of the banks possible, defrauding both the tax authorities and the banks in the process, but it'll be interesting to see what Trump has been doing with his taxes and the source for some of the money flowing in. We'll see. It is going to be interesting. It is going to be interesting to see what's on those. I'm sure more will be made of it that is justified, particularly this will be a good opportunity for Republicans to make all kinds of accusations about the rich and how the rich don't pay taxes, nonsense like that. Of course, this system of deductions, this system of loopholes is a system created by Congress. If Congress wants to fix it, they can easily fix it. I would say the easiest way to fix it, the best way to fix it, flat tax, no deductions, no exclusions, nothing. Just everybody pay everybody, but everybody. That would include everybody would pay 15% of income, ideally 5% of income, but let's say for now 15% of income slowly going down to 5 over the next. Let's start with 15, just 15 flat tax, no deductions, no exclusions, and everybody pays that will increase the tax base and it would use the ability of people to hire tax accountants to screw the system. It would also force tax accountants to actually engage in economic value added activities versus right now they basically engage in kind of zero sum activities. I still value them a huge amount. Simplifying taxes would making them really, really easy. What was a Steve Forbes idea postcard? You'd fell out of postcard and that was it. That would be your taxes. That is one of the best, easiest ways to collapse the bureaucracy and simplify our lives and reduce government involvement in our lives, just postcard taxes. If you did that for corporations as well, corporate tax, flat tax at 10%, 15%, no exclusions, no deductions, no nothing, you'd have to work it out. You'd have to figure it out exactly, but I think it really is doable and I think life would be, we would be a lot freer under a system like that. So if Congress really cared, that's what they would do. Anyway, Trump tax is going to be made public. You'll see a lot of that in the press. You'll see a lot of commentators and you'll see the left try to make as much of it as they can. They'll try to make hate of it to the extent that they can.
