CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 22, 2022
DEMOCRATS ON THE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE HAVE VOTED TO RELEASE THE TAX RETURNS OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU THINK HE SHOULD BECOME PRESIDENT AGAIN, SOME POINTS NEED TO BE MADE. IF HE DID ANYTHING ILLEGAL, WHY DIDN’T THE IRS SEND HIM A BILL FOR TAXES OWED? ONE YEAR HE PAID OVER A MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES, ANOTHER YEAR HE PAID NOTHING. IF THE LAWS ARE WRITEN TO ALLOW THAT – AND THE TAX CODE IS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO MANY — THEN NOTHING ILLEGAL OCCURRED.
THE LEFT ALWAYS FOCUSES ON TAXES. THEY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF OUR MONEY. SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM. WASHINGTON TAKES IN RECORD AMOUNTS OF REVENUE, BUT SPENDS MORE THAN IT RECEIVES AND THE OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL WILL SPEND MORE, ADDING TO OUR $32 TRILLION DEBT.
TO PARAPHRASE BILL CLINTON AIDE JAMES CARVILLE, IT’S THE SPENDING STUPID. UNLESS WE CUT SPENDING AND APPROACH SOMETHING CLOSE TO A BALANCED BUDGET, WE ARE DOOMED. AN OPEN BORDER, MASSIVE NATIONAL DEBT AND THE LOSS OF A SHARED MORAL SENSE HAVE CAUSED NATIONS OF THE PAST TO COLLAPSE. WHAT MAKES US THINK WE CAN AVOID A SIMILAR FATE? I’M CAL THOMAS.
