Tax Avoidance, Tax Evasion, Tax Fraud - However you choose to phrase it Trump is guilty. Yet he is the harbinger creating an uproar over social security fraud. It appears that social security fraud amounts to less than .02% (that is less than .0002) of all payouts, which in dollars is 270 million. To me that does sound like a lot but compared to the tax gap each year (in the hundreds of billions) it is paltry, as are trump and musk. Tax Avoidance alone (in the tens of billions per year) is at the very least more than 35 times Social Security Fraud yet we are focusing our energies on disrupting the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are just trying to keep their heads down and make it from one paycheck to the next; and yes, social security payments are paychecks. It is another sleight of hand - focus on the poor while the rich get richer.
