(5,813 posts)4. Since I file taxes annually and pay if I owe anything, I am not sure how I could legally get out of
paying for the wall. There is not a line on the 1040 where I can say "use my money for anything but the fooking wall". If that was the case, we could opt out of paying for wars or anything else we disagreed with. Somehow, appealing as it is, I don't see that as working out very well since, theoretically, we could opt out of anything we didn't like. So the Trumpsters could opt out of money for SNAP benefits or any other thing they deemed "welfare". Stingy bastards.

He is running out the clock until 4/15 at which time he will submit 2016 tax record that has been carefully "edited" for exposure. We need to focus elsewhere.
