Last week the Trump administration fired its 7th IRS commissioner since Mr. Trump took office on January 20th. The individual who left was named Billy Long and he supposedly was the final step in the retention of a longer term IRS commissioner. FYI, IRS commissioners typically hold the job for up to 15 years in the past. The fact that we’ve had seven in seven months indicates that Mister Trump has not found an individual who will compromise his personal integrity adequately to make sure that billionaires are not taxed at all or on some minimal basis. Mr. Long had been a very popular IRS commissioner who vowed to work with the staff he was presented after the purging under the DOGE reign. Mr. Long had given all employees an opportunity to leave work 70 minutes earlier on a given day as a celebration for his 70th birthday. Apparently, efficiency and employee relations are not top priorities on the Trump administration list and as a result Mr. Long was summarily dismissed without explanation. Watch for various internal IRS changes that will clearly benefit GOP mega donors in the future. Mr. Trump is trying to broaden his mega donor base by buying off their integrity. When you consider that these individuals are very much tuned in to the money-power trade off, it is apparent that Mr. Trump has fingered the pulse of the economy and its primary movers. Of course, the less billionaires pay in taxes–the more you and I pay. And, Trump doesn’t worry about the size of the National Debt–remember his real estate financing schemes and how they’ve resulted in multiple bankruptcies–the billionaire club can expect a recurring gift FROM YOU!! Remember that as you watch inflation spiral under the tariff hammer.
