Posted in Election 2016, taxes, tagged , , , , , , on November 21, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Donald Trump is soon to become a very busy man. Building a wall, renegotiating trade deals, and trying the cast of Hamilton for treason all require significant man-hours.

And unfortunately for the President-elect, this re-directed focus will cost him millions in tax dollars.

There is one clear victor in the 2016 President Election results and that is those who loathe the current tax law and long for reform.
