'Gold Card' Would Offer Tax Benefit Unavailable to Americans

The $5 million "Green Card plus," as Trump and his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick touted in the Oval Office last week, would allow holders to avoid paying U.S. tax on their overseas income -- an option not currently open to citizens or immigrants in the country.

Bets that when (if) stats are released on who buys these, it's largely shady Russians?

That's my guess.

"would allow holders to avoid paying U.S. tax on their overseas income"

Huh? WTF?!? For some...buying the card would be CHEAPER than paying taxes.

And (no doubt) Trump's "math" (such as it isn't) didn't account for the lost tax revenue.

Trump is in the pockets of the Russian Oligarchs. So, Vlad's pockets since he got so proficient at using windows to message to them.

They've been laundering money through his real estate for decades.... a lot of it here in Fl.
