haha, no, he and his rogues gallery are all known faces. Remember this is the guy who lost to a woman who lost to a lettuce. Remember he was part of the Garden Party too.
I'd like to highlight a point about Universal Income payments to people who are out of work or who are not in secure work and struggling to cope with basic living expenses or are not in work and struggling to pay their way through higher education or to complete the low paid or unpaid work and internships neccessary in some career paths.
Also I'd like to include universal tax credit payments made to every one whatever their financial status:
And also the Labour policy of paying parents of young children a fruit and vegetable allowance.
All of these small payments above whether they are fraudulently claimed or unethically claimed or misused... support small and local tax paying businesses.
The fruit and vegetable allowance for example was an indirect means of supporting farmers.
People on low incomes with out savings don't take the money they claim fraudulently and transfer it to their offshore panama accounts and send it to another country to circulate in another country's economy.
If they waste it on ciggarettes. They without realising it effectively return a significant proportion of the misclaimed money directly to the government. And they keep the sales clerk at the ciggarette kiosk in a job and the sales clerk returns a proportion of the money back to the government in pay as you earn tax and national insurance contributions. The location the ciggarette purchase is made pays business rates to the local council for the local town or village to do stuff like keep the guy who works on the flood defenses 200 days a year in his job.
Payments to people who circulate money in their local economy and the national economy whether it's buying cheap flights (they shouldn't really be buying) from local airlines who employ local flight crews, etc should be ignored in my personal opinion.
If some one is receiving assistance payments and makes an international bank transfer with it to pay the mortgage on their villa... now ...that person merits the full attention of the tax recovery office because that transaction doesn't help the local or national economy.
Depends how much he's lied about his wealth. I suspect Trump is nowhere near as wealthy as he claims. That's why he's so averse to revealing his taxes.

Agree! it's not a right wing or libertarian post. Strangely Shiv's recent posts are far more serious and less trolling than before, I'd give him a chance. I am.
My favourite story of him "proving" just his liquidity worth to Forbes was taking them into Mar-a-lago, sitting them down in an office, claiming he was worth $793,000,000 and then holding up a piece of paper with 793 written in black sharpie. Who's going to dispute that after what we've seen?
