41. All Presidents Seem To Have One

Sat Jun 20, 2026, 08:13 PM

Yesterday

I wonder what kind of tax shelter Maher has set up for his huge salary for being a media know-it-all?
Establishing a library is not a big deal because all modern presidents seem to have a good amount of wealth. And many of them have established such libraries and foundations to channel much of their money into projects and things they support rather than have them frittered away via taxes paying for questionable things supported by that otherwise taxed income. It is a smart business and social responsibility move.
