"genius" vs tax cheats

do not EVER speak about such people again, when you praise this tax-dodging, draft-doding, welfare KING (nearly one billion in subsidies, tax breaks, etc) as a "genius", you lying, thieving, hypocritical assholes. apparently, it is okay for one of the members of the "boys' club" to do this, but nobody else. you are all sickening.

It permeates the fabric of our culture in the US. It's more potent than Christianity.

Oddly, the ideology that rationalizes it, violates fundamental logic, as well as generally accepted moral and ethical conventions found throughout the world.
