Why Gender-Critical Radical Feminists Might Want A Church And Why IRS Approved

The priest, rabbi, minister joke form was common when I was growing up, along with other types of jokes which would no longer fly at all.  It was generally innocent, the best indication that being if it did not change depending on which one did what.  On reflection, I realized that in writing the joke I was mentally back in my boyhood when it would be understood that the threesome would be male.  So here is an alternative.

New IRS Regulations: Maybe TCJA Really Was Bad For President Trump And Some Wealthy Friends

To make up an extreme example consider Bruno Bigbuilding. Bruno supports his family with a modest $10 million salary that he takes from his development and management company.  His net worth is close to a billion and it is based on real estate interests in which he is 90% leveraged.  That produces a lot of depreciation, the deduction that President, then developer, Trump said he loves so much in The Art of The Deal:

“I don’t have to please Wall Street, and so I appreciate depreciation.  For me the relevant issue isn’t what I report on the bottom line, it’s what I get to keep.”

After sheltering the income from the real estate, there will be plenty left over to shelter the $10 million salary.  Not anymore.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
