“I am not making this up. Certain assets at one time were allowed to be considered of zero value, when being placed in a family trust. I’m all for tax loopholes, but the point here is that the politically active super-wealthy have edges written into the law that give them tax breaks that the rest of us will never see. There is a growing elite in this country that are above all laws and regulations, laws and regulations that anchor down the rest of us.”
