[@kimobrien.]

@@marietellez6021 The rich avoid taxes by taking out loans based upon property. The value of the property value rises such that the loan gets rolled over since the value of the collateral rises. So instead of paying taxes on rising capital values spent as capital gains you are a debtor who has property. So by the magic of increasing debts and capital gains not being taken you avoid income taxes. Now you see how the swindle works and why many companies no longer pay out dividends.

I went into that building and up to a high floor to meet with my guy, who didn't charge me because I'm a musician and he said "Seeing that an artist doesn't get ripped off is my reward." Next thing I know the building is shut, my guy doesn't work there anymore and this guy is on the front page of every newspaper for fraud, boom. Just so everybody knows not all high-priced lawyers are about the money and nothing else. Some people, though!😮😮😮😮😮😮

All the federal government had to do is start a department of street auditors whose job it is to visit clinics in person. It would cost a mere FRACTION of what it is losing now to fraud.

[@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrr]

EXACTLY!!!

[@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrr]

They could even hire local law enforcement to do checks in their spare time, to enforce the law, then when questionable activity is found, send a federal auditor.... EASY!

[@rdp4654]

This is the same problem many politicians have once they get to Washington, DC, they become consumed by greed and easy money by either accepting bribes also known as selling access to “donors” and then use that money to illegally do insider stock trading and in doing so they lose all their integrity and morals. It is a real problem and these politicians need to be arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by the DOJ and if those trusted to be put in charge of those law enforcement institutions are also compromised too and doing the same thing they too need to be prosecuted also.

The first one - lawyer man - is very interesting as he had it all but admits he got greedy.. If it weren't so awful, his ability to keep all those things going and appear in court and be a good lawyer is amazing - what a waste of a life. He is out in 2026

Success never feels on the inside how one imagines it feels from the outside. When you let your ego become obsessed with that imagined feeling in your mind, you begin sacrificing your humanity.

That's the trade the Devil gives them. Their humanity and soul for immense wealth and all the luxury that that wealth provides. I'd wager that easily better than half of the individuals in Wall Street firms that make the millions that they make, would choose keeping that money over saving their own mother from a certain death, if given the choice.

@AMunoz-rh9cz thank you so much, I'm grateful for your kind comment! I agree with you entirely! It was extremely telling when he said humiliated like we can't see through the emptiness of a man trying to save as much face as possible, just so he can hope to continue creating victims with his ruined reputation. That's the sad thing, on the other end of selfish, evil deeds are always victims, and that is ultimately sad. There's no such thing as a victimless crime!
