U.S. Representative Ted Lieu draft bill: “Swamp Flyers Act” (28.09.2017)

The Republican’s plan of fixing the tax-code is by bailing out corporations and the wealthy!

Just like the leaflet dropped in April 2017 as a serious Tax Plan, which was one-page long. Clearly, the people in charge of the economy and financial state of the United States. Are more preoccupied with taking private jets and eating while in office than actually working. I can question that after months after the leaflet, there was a tiny amendment on the newly proposed tax-plan. Since it is just small expanded text. Now instead of one single page, its gone up to 9 pages. Not like a handbook into the codes, neither economic implications of the taxes. Like which groups gets benefits, who will pay more and what sort of “damage” will the tax-cuts made by Republican Party do.

This released Tax plan: “Unified Framework for Fixing Our Broken Tax Code”, that was released today. You should expect better work, especially from former businessmen and bankers who are running the Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. Both of them has been bankers, but they still has no stats or proof of how these tax codes really affects society. It’s like selling house on only the paperwork and have no official showing of the house. When you get there it either be just a big lie or it be a shiny palace.

That the United States Government and Republican Party are delivering this sort ploy to trigger their wishes is insane. What is striking is words like these: “An additional top rate may apply to the highest-income taxpayers to ensure that the reformed tax code is at least as progressive as the existing tax code and does not shift the tax burden from high-income to lower- and middle-income taxpayers” (Republican Tax, 2017). This is like saying we will take away and make it simpler for the highest earners to pay less, while this will not burden the ones who earn less than us. So that the progressive though is that the highest earner will get a tax-cut and we promise it will not bother anyone.

But the framework are really showing its love for corporation and giving them tax-holidays from the last quarter of 2017: “The framework allows businesses to immediately write off (or “expense”) the cost of new investments in depreciable assets other than structures made after September 27, 2017, for at least five years. This policy represents an unprecedented level of expensing with respect to the duration and scope of eligible assets. The committees may continue to work to enhance unprecedented expensing for business investments, especially to provide relief for small businesses” (Republican Tax, 2017). So they can easily just tap lots of investments without showing them to the Internal Revenue Service, this means the investments would be easily invested and written-off, without considering the tax-record in general. This will be quickly profitable for big corporations and real-estate businesses. Who can easily invest and get profits within months. As they sell in the next year, as they are investing in 2017 and writing it off. While in 2018 selling it. Then they didn’t need to pay the tax for the investment done in 2017. This is double profit for the bigger businesses. It’s a match made in heaven for the multi-national corporations in the United States. The state will earn less and just make sure the investment will be even more short-term and be more buy-in and takeovers. Since they can earn lot’s on the investments, before dropping it or selling it the next year after writing it off.

The framework limits the maximum tax rate applied to the business income of small and family owned businesses conducted as sole proprietorships, partnerships and S corporations to 25%. The framework contemplates that the committees will adopt measures to prevent the recharacterization of personal income into business income to prevent wealthy individuals from avoiding the top personal tax rate” (Republican Party, 2017). Again, the proposed Tax is made to secure the wealthy, so they will get tax-cuts, this is not for the betterment of the state. It is to secure the wealthy and make sure their tax-rate is cut. Clearly, the treasury and commerce secretary are trying to help their friends and family on Wall Street and in the big business with a fancy tale of tax codes and cuts.

If you thought President Trump cared about Middle-America or even about the Working-Class, they we’re needed props and needed ballots for the election. But now that he got you in his pockets. He can get a payday, cut his taxes and make sure his friend on Wall Street gets their payday too! Peace.

The New York Gang is active again, as Junior’s defense to Congress are not trustworthy!

The way Donald Trump Junior has come with different stories on the Trump Campaign and the Russian collusion. The meeting in the Trump Tower on the 7th June 2017 we’re with dozens of Russian operatives, as the E-Mail chain proves the possible troubles of the campaign. That is why the stories of the oldest son of the American President, Donald J. Trump have changed. The Statement today is no different, but seems like he is lying to Congress and thinks he can get away of it.

Let’s retract the E-Mails again, just to make sure the meeting isn’t forgotten about:

So let’s take the fellow information we can from the e-mails, which was on the 3rd June 2017 Rob Gladstone wrote to Donald Trump Jr: (Subject – “FW Russia – Clinton – privat and confidential”) “Good Morning. Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but it is part of Russia and it’s government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin. What would you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly? I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send you first. Best Rob Gladstone”. Later in the day – Donald Trump Jr answered: “Thanks Rob I appreciate that, I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it later this summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back? Best, Don”. Later answered: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but it is part of Russia and it’s government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin” (Rob Gladstone E-Mail to Donald J. Trump, June 2016)” (Minbane – ‘The New York Gang meeting on the 9th June 2016 in the Trump Tower with yet another undisclosed Russian associate Akhmetshin!’, 15.07.2017).

So the E-Mail chain of the Donald Trump Junior cannot be forgotten, since it shows the intent of the Campaign and Russian collusion. If you would love getting information, that could support his campaign. Here is his defense again on the matter!

Outtakes from Juniors statement to Congress on the 7th September:

In his email to me Rob suggested that someone had “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary [Clinton] and her dealings with Russia” and that the information would be “very useful” to the campaign. I was somewhat skeptical of his outreach, as I had only known Rob as Emin’s somewhat colorful music promoter who had worked with famous pop singers such as Michael Jackson. Since I had no additional information to validate what Rob was saying, I did not quite know what to make of his email. I had no way to gauge the reliability, credibility or accuracy of any of the things he was saying. As it later turned out, my skepticism was justified. The meeting provided no meaningful information and turned out not to be about what had been represented. The meeting was instead primarily focused on Russian adoptions, which is exactly what I said over a year later in my statement of July 8, 2017” (…) “In responding to Rob’s email, I wrote back and suggested that “perhaps I just speak to Emin first.” As much as some have made of my using the phrase “I love it”, it was simply a colloquial way of saying that I appreciated Rob’s gesture. Three days later, on June 6th, Rob contacted me again about scheduling a time for a call with Emin. My phone records show three very short phone calls between Emin and me between June 6th and 7th. I do not recall speaking to Emin. It is possible that we left each other voice mail messages. I simply do not remember” (Donald Trump Junior, Statement to Congress on the 7th September 2017).

I have hard time believing this story, as the deferred tale he was telling today. Since just like on Sean Hannity after the revealed E-Mails, he tried to tell the world that the meaning was meaningless. But if it was so, why did he work out the perks for showing up? Why did the Russians send so many people and make sure they we’re all there?

The strangest thing is that he is now not remembering his call to Emin. As he had to call him before the meeting as he even told on the mail before facilitate the meeting. Therefore, the forgetfulness of it all doesn’t make sense. Why is he working so hard to deflect it all? So, the Trump Junior trying to change the paradigm and sticking with it. To a state that seems like stupidity.

The strangest part of the deflection was the different statements both on Fox News on Hannity and the official one that the President even made. Both we’re different and try to change it from collusion to Russian adoption. Its like he is finessing the statement. Its hard to believe Trump Junior, its like his lawyer’s and attorney’s told him what to say.

We can just wait on more revealing stories on the Russian Collusion and more drip-drops of information on the Russian investigation. Trump Junior clearly has to tell different stories to be believable, since this is affecting the Trump Campaign and the interference of Russians in it. The Statement today are really again proving he will change his story and also rewrite history to fit his paradigm. There are clear the Trump Junior Statement today will be debunked and with time. Peace.

Yet another lie from Trump: Trump Tower wasn’t wiretapped!

Another lie from President Donald J. Trump are now officially tested and verified. This is not the first or the last. Because Trump has is world-view and alternative reality, this is proven by his own statement on Twitter on the 4th March 2017:

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” (Donald J. Trump, 04.03.2017). These words will now forever go into the catalog of lies made by the American President. The Department of Justice together with their Security Organizations, this being National Security Division (NSD) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who both are clear in their evidence and reasoning. Saying there was no wiretapping of the Trump Tower and the Trump Organization. Therefore, the lying-in-chief in the White House. Reflects his stature and his own acts of deviousness.

So on the 1st September 2017, the FOIA case against the Department of Justice clarifies the situation and also states the facts. This isn’t mere opinions, but verified through court documents. Here is the statements from the court!

Both FBI and NSD confirm that they have no records related to wiretaps as described by the March 4, 2017 tweets. Hardy Decl. ¶ 15; Weinsheimer Decl. ¶ 8. FBI again confirmed that they do not have any such records by consulting with personnel knowledgeable about Director Comey’s statements and the surveillance activities of the FBI. Hardy Decl. ¶ 15” (US District Court, 2017).

The NSD Verifies:

As the preceding demonstrates, the Department of Justice – including NSD – has no records responsive to Plaintiff’s request inasmuch as it seeks records of alleged wiretapping of then-Candidate Trump in Trump Tower by President Obama prior to the election, as referenced in the march 4, 2017, tweet. See id” (US District Court, 2017).

The FBI Verifies:

As the preceding demonstrates, the FBI has no records responsive to Plaintiff’s request inasmuch as it seeks records of alleged wiretapping of Trump Tower by President Obama prior to the election, as reference in the March 4th tweet. See id. Out of an abundance of caution, FBI personnel confirmed this by consulting with personnel knowledgeable about Director Comey’s statements and the surveillance activities of the FBI and confirmed that no such records exists” (US District Court, 2017).

So with this in mind, the Trump Tower wasn’t wiretapped by the authorities as alleged by the President himself. The Department of Justice has now clarified it and it is 100 % Pinocchio or a big lie. President Trump has served this to the public, certainly at some point to deflect an issue during march. Both NSD and FBI has now explained to the public what really happen.

What happen at Trump Tower was nothing, none, the DoJ and their agencies was not involved. Trump has overstepped and go back on his words. Not that he will do so. But the American people should know that this is just one lie. Out of plenty before his presidency and during his presidency. The White House should have character and stand-up for their wrong statements. Not that Trump has this, he is just wrong, because Trump will rather double down.

Even if the agencies that has the capacity to wiretap the Tower says that didn’t happen. So this lie from the Trump Administration should vanish. Peace.
