Yesterday The Conservative Treehouse<\/a> reported that unaccompanied children illegally crossing into the United States from Mexico are being given a copy of Kamala Harris’ book, \u201c Superheroes are Everywhere<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was arrested for using her authorship of a book as a pay-to-play scheme for personal financial gain {Go Deep<\/a>}.\u00a0 In what appears to be a similar situation, unaccompanied alien children (UAC\u2019s) are being given a book authored by Kamala Harris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…You can be sure that if Trump books were being purchased with taxpayer funds to be distributed to thousands of people, the leftists would immediately demand an investigation.\u00a0 However, when Kamala Harris does it\u2026 crickets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interesting side note:\u00a0 Kamala Harris was in New Hampshire Friday and Jill Biden was in Arizona Friday.\u00a0 Both Arizona and New Hampshire are conducting ballot audits.\u00a0 Interesting coincidence\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess using taxpayer money to purchase your books to give away is the new revenue producing scheme used by Democrats. How you classify income from book royalties can also impact your taxes.<\/p>\n

On September 29, 2020, I reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Joe Biden responded to President Trump\u2019s partial suspension of payroll-tax collections with a statement<\/a> calling it the \u201cfirst shot in a new, reckless war on Social Security.\u201d He continued: \u201cOur seniors and millions of Americans with disabilities are under enough stress without Trump putting their hard-earned Social Security benefits in doubt.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Mr. Biden\u2019s objections might be more persuasive had he and his wife, Jill, not gone out of their way to avoid funding seniors\u2019 entitlement benefits. According to their tax returns, in 2017<\/a> and 2018<\/a> the Bidens and his wife Jill avoided payroll taxes on nearly $13.3 million in income from book royalties and speaking fees. They did so by classifying the income as S-corporation profits rather than taxable wages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bidens did pay themselves \u201csalaries\u201d from their corporations\u2014CelticCapri Corp. and Giacoppa Corp.\u2014of nearly $750,000 between them over two years, and they paid full taxes on that income. But they circumvented the payroll tax on the nearly 95% of their income that remained. A tax expert interviewed<\/a> by the Journal in 2019 called the Bidens\u2019 scheme \u201cpretty aggressive\u201d; another told the paper it served solely to avoid the payroll taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gaming the system is a way of life for our current President and Vice-President.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
