Ok, turns out this was a lot shorter than I expected, so I read it
Sounds like the person who wrote this is bitter that Fox found a crafty way to escape a libel lawsuit. Do I agree with their tactics? Not completely, but I don’t know the circumstances of the libel lawsuit. If it was a really solid case, then Tucker should have just settled, it’s not like he can’t afford it. But that’s clearly all this was, a legal tactic to avoid a libel lawsuit. And apparently it worked, so bravo. And bring on the bitterness regarding the tactic. I guarantee you Fox doesn’t think Tucker Carlson is lying when he reports the news. They lied about not believing him, and the stupid court bought it
This is along the exact same vein as Trump‘s tax returns. Everyone knows the reason Trump doesn’t want to release them is because he has most likely found a crafty way to avoid paying a lot in taxes. Is he using an illegal way? Probably not, because I’m pretty sure he gets audited by the IRS often. It’s their job to find illegal tactics and their fault if they can’t
So he found a legal crafty way to pay far less taxes than maybe someone with his income should. Does that make him evil? No it makes him smart. This country is FUNDED on the backs of the rich. When you look at the amounts paid in taxes, the rich are carrying this fucking country on their backs, has been for years. When someone pays 39% of 5,000,000 that’s a SHITLOAD more money than middle class me paying 10% of my measly $55,000. Now is that most of their money? Hell no. Is it still more than anyone else is paying? Hell yes
So no, democrats are never going to convince a conservative like me that a rich person being crafty about avoiding getting fucked by taxes is evil. And I GUARANTEE there are countless rich dem politicians doing the same thing
