Letter - Schmidt 8-1-23

To the Editor:

Well, they finally caught him! After years of probes, and investigations, they finally nabbed Hunter Biden.

They were closing in on him, so he had to plead guilty for not paying income tax for 2017, and 2018, also a weapons charge. But wait, there’s more!

According to officials at the IRS, Hunter payed the owed back taxes more than two years ago. Imagine that, not paying your taxes until a couple years go by. I think I know someone that has done far worse on paying income taxes.

In the last 18 years, 11 times Donald Trump has paid nothing in income taxes back to the country. He claims to be such a wonderful business man. Well if you make a lot of money, shouldn’t you pay taxes on a lot of money? Either he’s not as good a business man as he says, or he does some real creative bookkeeping. Why are people wanting so badly to have this man back in office, when you know he’s more crooked than a hog’s tail?

Maybe if Hunter wouldn’t have paid his taxes, he would be qualified to run for President. I guess he’s not got the same qualities as Trump. He’s not on his third wife, didn’t pay off a porn star, hasn’t been found guilty of tax fraud in New York, or didn’t admit publicly about grabbing women’s privates.

Plus many more, so I guess he doesn’t have the qualities of Trump.

One more thing, Mr. Busch, if you want to believe Newsmax magazine, that Newsmax channel gained a million viewers, then go ahead and believe it. Why wouldn’t they brag themselves up?

As for me, I’m sticking with the 287,000 given by the Nielson ratings, which has been monitoring viewers since 1996. As a business.
