When a government carves out a $1.8 billion slush fund while simultaneously insulating a former president and his family from IRS scrutiny “forever,” it is not normal governance—it is institutional capture.
As David Cay Johnston warns, this is how accountability is quietly dismantled: selectively applied tax enforcement, politically engineered exemptions, and the steady erosion of equal treatment under law.
No individual, regardless of status or office held, should be placed beyond legitimate tax oversight. When enforcement is selectively blocked at the top, public trust in the entire system collapses.
This is not about partisan rivalry. It is about whether democratic institutions serve the public—or protect the powerful from the rules everyone else must follow.
