brass to keep a force in Afghanistan. Florida Governor DeSantis filing a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the border crisis. The Republican ordering his agencies to stop cooperating with the feds on relocating illegal immigrants to the Sunshine State, said the governor, quote, we got to take every effort we can to make sure we are protecting the people of Florida. A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation says 33% of Americans believe booster shots prove the COVID vaccine does not work. That number jumps to 71% among unvaxed adults. Two-thirds say the third shot means scientists are simply finding ways to make the drug more effective. So the country is divided two to one in favor of the vaccine.

Makes a great Christmas gift because Astro might even cook dinner. In a moment, Joe Biden wants all Americans to pay our fair share in taxes. However, there is evidence that the president is dodging some taxes.

We'll have the facts in a moment. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

President Biden says he wants corporations and affluent Americans to pay their fair share in taxes. How many times have we heard Mr. Biden say that? But did he pay his fair share? Here we go. report from the Congressional Research Service claims Mr. Biden may owe up to $500,000 in back

taxes. Republican Congressman Jim Banks says, quote, multimillionaire Joe Biden skirted his payroll taxes, the very taxes that fund Medicare and Obamacare. According to the criteria provided to my office, he owes the IRS and the American people hundreds of thousands of dollars, unquote. Well, the White House responded with a quote of its own. The salaries earned by the Bidens are reasonable and were determined in good faith, considering the nature of the entities and the services they performed, unquote. Well, I don't know what that means. I'm not an accountant, so I can't possibly know. But here's the deal, as Joe Biden might say. According to Forbes magazine, the president's net worth is valued at $9 million,

$4 million in real estate, $4 million in investments and savings, and a federal pension worth more than $1 million. The Biden's earned millions of dollars through private speaking engagements and books. They legally avoided paying as much as $500,000 to the IRS by having groups pay fees to them through their corporation. The Biden has set up an S corporation in order to pay a lower tax rate. Now, S corporations are very common. According to the IRS, they pass corporate income, losses, deductions, credits, through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.

What that means is you can have two shareholders, Jill and Joe. In simple terms, the loophole is used by individuals to route personal income through a business, allowing the Bidens in this case to avoid a 3.8% self-employment tax. Now, there are more than 5 million registered S corporations in the USA. On Mr. Biden's 2020 tax returns, it says the president and the first lady filed their income tax return jointly and reported federal adjusted gross income of $607,336. The Biden's paid in federal income tax, $157,414. That is a 26% rate. The president and the first lady also reported donating $30,700 or about 5% of their total income to 10 different charities. That is not a large

amount for millionaires. Anyway, the point is that once again, President Biden does, not walk the walk. He wants us to pay his fair share, yet he uses what they call a tax dodge.

Forget about trick-or-treating as a genie. The costume was officially banned at Yale University for being, quote, culturally unaware and spotlighting Middle Eastern stereotypes. Wow.

Pocahont de Santano, out. Going as a Native American is offensive, ask Cleveland. Once the most popular outfit for both boys and girls, Indian costumes are now considered offensive to indigenous peoples. Disney characters, the latest target for the cancel crowd. Children should no longer appropriate clothing from different cultures. That includes Aladdin, Mulan, even Pinocchio. Mickey Mouse is safe for now, but watch it with the male description. How about sombreros? No, Bueno. Universities across the country deem the Mexican headgear offensive to Hispanics, students seen

wearing the traditional hat, or a matching poncho can face disciplinary action. Other dubious outfits this year include police officers, homeless people, Confederate soldiers, prisoners, religious figures like a priest or rabbi, Italian mobsters, even leprosters, even leprosters, lepracons.
