Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted June 10, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Scooter supporter... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/06/09/billionaire-trump-backer-paid-no-state-income-tax-3-years-records-show/85650952/ Billionaire Trump backer paid no state income tax for 3 years, records show MILWAUKEE — Billionaire Diane Hendricks, the richest woman in Wisconsin and a vice chair of the Trump Victory fundraising committee, didn't pay a dime in state income tax from 2012 through 2014, records obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel show. Hendricks, 69, has a net worth of nearly $5 billion, according to an estimate by Forbes Magazine, which this month named her "America's Richest Self-Made Woman" — edging out Oprah Winfrey, who the magazine said had a net worth of $3.1 billion. Judy Faulkner, founder and CEO at Epic Systems Corp., a Verona health care software company, came in third with an estimated net worth of $2.4 billion. Hendricks, co-founder and owner of ABC Supply Co. — the nation's largest supplier of roofing — also owed no state taxes in 2010, meaning she paid no Wisconsin income taxes in four out of five years. The company, which she founded with her husband, Ken, in 1982, posts annual sales of about $6 billion. Ken Hendricks died in 2007. State records show Hendricks, who is now chairman of ABC Supply, paid $290,415 in Wisconsin income taxes in 2011. In addition, Scott Bianchini, ABC Supply tax director, said Hendricks paid $7.6 million in state income taxes for last year. There is no public record of that 2015 payment since Hendricks received an extension to file the return. "You'll be able to verify that next year," Bianchini said. Trump Victory team Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus in May named Hendricks to the leadership team for Trump Victory, a committee that will raise funds for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, the RNC and 11 state GOP committees. She has been a major ally and contributor to Gov. Scott Walker, pouring $5 million into a super PAC that was formed to support the Republican governor's failed presidential bid. She also gave $500,000 to Walker's 2012 recall campaign. Hendricks garnered unwanted attention in 2012 when she was caught on a videotape showing her talking with Walker about using a "divide and conquer" strategy toward unions. Hendricks' string of goose eggs on her tax returns could throw her into the spotlight again. "It's an exhibit that works in this era of bumper sticker slogans," said Mordecai Lee, a former Democratic state legislator who now teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. "Democrats will say this is another reason why people should not vote for Trump." Trump fights taxes It may not have much impact, however, with Trump supporters or people who are right of center, Lee said. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has repeatedly refused to release his federal income tax returns and has said, "I fight like hell to pay as little as possible" in taxes. He went at least two years without paying taxes in the late 1970s, according to a story in The Washington Post that quoted filings Trump made with New Jersey casino regulators. Officials for the RNC did not return calls or emails seeking comment for this story Wednesday. Bianchini said Hendricks was "unavailable for comment on this article" because she's on a family vacation. During a brief interview at a Special Olympics event at the Waukesha County Courthouse, Walker on Thursday morning repeatedly declined to comment about Hendricks' taxes. "That's more of an issue on the federal level" because of state income taxes are based on federal tax returns, Walker said. The governor said his goal is to lower taxes for the middle class. Asked what message a billionaire not paying state income taxes sends to the middle class, Walker said. "It's not because of things that we've done. It started in 2010 before I was governor." When a reporter commented that Walker would not touch this one with a 10-foot pole, the governor replied "you got it." Though Hendricks had a string of zeros on her Wisconsin income tax returns, records show ABC Supply paid more than $2.2 million in Wisconsin income taxes from 2011 through 2014. The company also paid state income taxes in other states where it does business, Bianchini said. In addition, Bianchini said that from 2011 to 2014, ABC Supply paid "hundreds of millions of dollars" in various taxes, including sales taxes, federal taxes and state income taxes throughout the country. Hendricks personally paid more than $100 million in various state and federal taxes last year, Bianchini said, noting the $7.6 million to Wisconsin is included in the tabulation. Accountants said it is not unusual for a wealthy person to end the year with zero tax liability and then have a tax bill the following year. "Business could ebb and flow so quickly," said Christa Baldridge, a shareholder in the Milwaukee office of Schenck SC, a Wisconsin-based accounting firm. "Just because you're worth $5 billion doesn't mean you made $5 billion." Still, "it is unusual to go zero, zero, zero and then owe $7.6 million," said Joel Joyce, a partner at Reilly, Penner & Benton LLP, the oldest CPA firm in Wisconsin.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 10, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Seriously? That's all you got? Peter MacDonald had been sentenced to 14 years at a Federal Prison in Texas for fraud, extortion, inciting riots, bribery, and corruption stemming from the Navajo purchase of the Big Boquillas Ranch in Northwestern Arizona. On the day before President Clinton left office, U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy lobbied the White House to commute the sentence of the former leader of the Navajo Nation. MacDonald's sentence was commuted after he served 10 years. Carlos Vignali had his sentence for cocaine trafficking commuted, after serving 6 of 15 years in federal prison. Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his 1983 mail fraud and perjury convictions.[17] In 1998 he was under federal investigation for money laundering and tax evasion charges.[18] Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public.[19] Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.[20] Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg, members of the radical Weather Underground organization, both had sentences for weapons and explosives charges commuted: Evans served 16 years of her 40-year sentence, and Rosenberg served 16 of her 58 years.[21][22] Marc Rich, a fugitive who had fled the U.S. during his prosecution, was residing in Switzerland. Rich owed $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts of tax fraud, was pardoned of tax evasion. He was required to pay a $1 million fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case. Critics complained that Denise Eisenberg Rich, his former wife, had made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Mrs. Clinton's senate campaign. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels (640,000 m3) of oil.[23] Longtime Clinton supporters and Democratic leaders such as former President Jimmy Carter, James Carville and Terry McAuliffe, were all critical of the Clinton pardon. Carter said the pardons were "disgraceful."[24] Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal. McDougal had served the maximum possible 18 months, including eight in solitary confinement, on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role. Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman from Illinois and Chairman of House Ways and Means Committee, was pardoned for his role in the Congressional Post Office scandal. Rostenkowski had served 13 months of a 17-month sentence before being released in 1997.[25] After his release from prison, Clinton granted him a pardon in December 2000.[26] Mel Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography. His sentence was commuted on the bank fraud charge and he was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a halfway house. Reynolds had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions. Patty Hearst, who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974. After being isolated and threatened with death, she became supportive of their cause, making propaganda announcements for them and taking part in illegal activities. After her arrest in 1975, she was found guilty of bank robbery. Her conviction and long prison sentence were widely seen as unjust, but the procedural correctness of her trial was upheld by the courts. Hearst's sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and she was pardoned by President Bill Clinton.[27] Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon.[28] He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others. However, no wrongdoing was uncovered. Harvey Weinig, a former Manhattan lawyer who was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years in prison for facilitating an extortion-kidnapping scheme and helping launder at least $19 million for the Cali cocaine cartel Oh and lets not forget Clinton's relationship with convicted child molester Jeffery Epstein. Clinton's own husband is as shady as they come. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/13/flight-logs-show-bill-clinton-flew-on-sex-offenders-jet-much-more-than-previously-known.html By Malia Zimmerman Published May 13, 2016 FoxNews.com Epstein, (inset left), and Clinton flew together at least 26 times on the disgraced financier's "Lolita Express." (John Coates, airport-data.com) Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the “Lolita Express” -- even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com. Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls. “Bill Clinton … associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile,” said Conchita Sarnoff, of the Washington, D.C. based non-profit Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking, and author of a book on the Epstein case called "TrafficKing." “Why would a former president associate with a man like that?” Edited June 10, 2016 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
