What about trust fund $
Is that ALL his income? What about the trust fund money in South Dakota, I think is where it is?
He can’t get taxed on the trust fund $ he gets from his GRANFATHER’S work and forsight. The tax the top 1% takes on a whole new meaning if those dollars get taxed by the Federal Gov’t. That money is not recognized as income in MN – why not? He wants to tax the rich – why not lead the way and write out a check to the State of MN Gov. Dayton?
