Dear john, According to recent reporting, the Department of Justice (DOJ) expanded President Trump’s alleged $1.8 billion settlement to include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue potential tax claims involving President Trump, members of his family, and his companies over unpaid taxes. This comes at a time when six-in-ten Americans express frustration that wealthy individuals and corporations do not pay their fair share in taxes. However, a memo promising to permanently shield a president, family members, and affiliated businesses from IRS scrutiny raises serious questions about accountability and equal treatment under the law. No one - not even the President of the United States - should receive special treatment when it comes to tax laws and accountability. Our focus should be on building a tax system that works fairly and follows the same rules for everyone.
