Leona Helmsley dies at 87

Die you meany! That's what you get for paying billions in taxes and avoiding paying $1.2 million in tax, you revolting criminal you!

You know I never really paid much attention to Leona Helmsley back when I was a teen and she got in shit. Now that I read her life story, yeah she sounds somewhat bitchy and yes she shouldn't evade taxes (which we all do and this country was founded on), the amount is puny compared to what she paid in total.
She certainly wasn't a monster or something, it's amazing how bad the left can villify someone.
 
I do not evade taxes illegally. I only use the legal exemptions and such.
It must be a republican thing.
