ASK him since the top 10% have 76% of the wealth in the US... SHOULD they pay their fair share or be allowed to go BEYOND legal tax deductions and AVOID their valid tax payments,
ROBBING America of 160 BILLION a year?

THAT IF the IRS audits BILLIONAIRES FIRST, just to make sure they are playing fair and not cheating the system...

IF that happens and US can recover 7 trillion in unpaid taxes over 10 years... WOULD THAT BE GOOD?
