The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

in the book Lucky Loser , the authors state the amount of Estate Tax the Trump family paid. I
can't remember the exact number, but it was along the lines of 7-8%, or so. It was remarkably
low consider the size of the Estate.

Fred Trump, and his offspring committed tax fraud their entire lives. And it was not legal
tax avoidance, but fraud. Government officials and the Main Stream Media are responsible for
Trump being literally Above The Law. The myth's and fairy tales that Trump spewed were not
investigated, but given credence. The biggest myth is that Trump was a great businessman.
He was bailed out repeatedly by Fred Trump. If not for Big Daddy, DJT would have been an abject
failure. And when everything was failing, along came The Apprentice, and that led to the licensing of Trump's name, his "brand". And it was all a total fairy tale.

The next 4 years are going to something, lol.
