Panhandle Slim… Art for Folk…
IRS chief Michael Desmond had one job
To keep Trump’s taxes out of the public domain, and he failed it:

The rich get rich and the poor get audits
I talked to so many IRS supervisors and their answer was always “your signature is on the documents.” I didn’t even know what a signature was at 5 years old! It never occurred to me as a homeless teenager that I should call a lawyer. https://t.co/UmvERFkk73

Hypocrisy comes so easily to wingnuts
I look forward to hearing Judge Barrett explain the hypocrisy that will permit her to accept the nomination after arguing Merrick Garland could not be confirmed to SCOTUS 8 months before the 2016 election because his views were too different from Justice Scalia’s. https://t.co/aG7paSkrGa

Paying himself
Now I’m even *more* interested to know how much money @realdonaldtrump’s debt-saddled company has been paid by Trump’s government.

The government won’t say, so we’re building our own list, one receipt at a time. We’ve found $1.1 million so far.https://t.co/CU0EBGyW2D https://t.co/ao0A4yHwly

Trump Holds $421 Million In Debt, Could Owe IRS $100 Million In Penalties, Times Sayshttps://t.co/UwUjzrjbRl
Raise your hand if you paid more in taxes than Donald Trump
This fit with what Michael Cohen wrote in his book. He described Trump being incredulous that not only did the IRS accept his fake deductions, they send him a refund check for millions of dollars:
Exclusive: The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades.
— The New York Times (@nytimes) September 27, 2020
It shows his finances under stress, beset by losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. https://t.co/gstfYLEe5V
Trump calls New York Times report that he avoid paying taxes ‘totally made up’. Eric has been subpoenaed over fraudulent Trump Co tax evasion. He will clear this up. https://t.co/OSsaoJj7WW

In 1931 Al Capone went to prison, sentenced to 11 yrs, for failure to pay $215,000 in taxes (= to $3,634,829 today).

“Over the past two decades, Mr. #Trump has paid about $400 million less in combined federal income taxes,” than his fellow billionaires.
Puts Capone to shame. https://t.co/6YVdjnHNMj pic.twitter.com/SaWn7b88aD

NEW VIDEO: #TrumpIsNotABillionaire

Based on the extraordinary reporting of @nytimes times today, I present my NEW VIDEO#TrumpIsNotABillionaire
Let’s make sure we get this EVERYWHERE. pic.twitter.com/U5uhX3gOoE
I've read half the NYT tax blockbuster. The reporting is heroic. But the write-up is typical NYT softening of Trump's sins. 2 reasons he pays no taxes: business losses, and chicanery. They foreground the 1st and play down the 2nd, so he comes off like an oaf instead of a crook. https://t.co/QZ7cBgjSkR
