Now I understand where Trump gets his fiscal policy from.

Not me. One of my earliest memories was of not wanting to go to a certain kid's house while my mother ran errands because I knew he would be watching them. I was about three or four and took their antics literally.

I honestly do not understand what the issue is. Are we arguing in favor of tax breaks? Or are we trying to make the rich pay their fair share?

That's because you didn't pay close enough attention to the image.

What is it that i am missing? A date would be helpful. I did notice that it was from New York city. So are we discussing the high state income tax rates on the earned income from winnings in blue states? The OP was not helpful at all. Just a random picture of a random unverified piece of paper with zero context. TBH, I really dont even think this thread qualifies to be in the American Politics section. It looks like a bogus picture from a meme found on FaceBook that the OP thought was funny and wanted to share.

It would. But the fact that it was written on a typewriter and shot in black & white ought to get you into the ballpark.

That was sort of the point of the original image, but a quick glance at the numbers ought to clue one in to their veracity.

Perhaps.

Not quite, but you're getting a lot warmer. The addressee in the top left is one clue. I did a reverse image search, but now I see that there's a watermark in the bottom right that gives it away.

So it was a gag note from a Three Stooges episode? What does this have to do with American politics? Should this be in the entertainment section?

idk, I'm not the OP. I just took the opportunity to make a Trump joke.

Fair enough. Thank you for the assistance if filling the blanks left by the OP.

A picture says a thousand words...

And what words are your picture saying about American politics?

I will let the image tell the story.

I guess that is fair. But I am afraid I have nothing left to contribute to the conversation.

It was a fair troll, but enough of us are B movie shorts buffs.
