       This guy Trump pardoned after his mother raised millions for his campaign. He's not a "tax cheat"  I think people think of not paying taxes as bad, but not as bad as... well stealing directly from ordinary working people.Which is what Paul Walczak did. He held taxes from his employees paychecks... and pocketed it. Which is just stealing with "taxes" as cover. It was delightful that he was caught and got prison time for this.

       @futurebird I didnt see anywhere if the people he stole from were hurt - if the tax authorities came after them or if they lost insurance due to the theft

       @DrorBedrack Stealing from employees, who are nearly always people with significantly less wealth than an employer (and using taxes as cover to do it just makes it worse)It's the most disgusting kind of crime short of getting into physical violence?

       @futurebird So much restitution is being denied victims from this grift. In some ways, it’s worse than the corruption of the pardons.
