Tom  Jackson

Given the distinction previously registered regarding who is a war hero and who is not, who is the genius businessman? Bill Gates----or the guy who is a genius at using the IRS rules to save him from his poor business decisions.

Despite Trump's assertion it would make HIM a "smart guy" ... In reality, Trump doesn't do his taxes.  So it would make his CPA or Tax Accountant the "smart guy".  Which they are.

Contrary to Trump's other claim he "knows the tax code" ... NOBODY does.  It's too convoluted.  It is designed to trap you.  If the government REALLY wants to get you - all they have to do is use the tax code.  There are so many regulations, it is impossible to comply with it 100%.

That they are both Caucasian American billionaires is where the similarities stop. 

Gates is a visionary, Trump is a parasite. 

Gates is soft-spoken and mild mannered, Trump couldn't be accused of either.

Gates made his fortune selling his original ideas that everyone has benefitted from, Trump made his by courting wealthy patrons for his own benefit. 

Gates built his empire from his middle class garage, Trump was handed millions by his rich daddy to start his business. 

Gates now leads the largest charitable fund in human history, Trump had his charity shut down by law enforcement.

Genius need not be proclaimed by one who is, Trump proclaims his own genius by stiffing the tax system. Do actual geniuses ever sound like Trump? 

Gordon Gekko for President, anyone?
