What a shocking, surprise

All I can do is shrug my shoulders and say whatever. At this point, I truly don’t understand what is so freaking hard about paying your taxes and reporting income when you are a multi-millionaire/former Senator. It disgusts me to a level beyond my unemployed intellect. First off the fact that he can just cut […]
