The ease with which super PACs can raise money—no contribution limits, no spending limits—means groups like Keep the Promise have resources that campaigns may not. In the case of Keep the Promise, that’s thanks to a handful of billionaire families who decided Cruz was their guy. One Keep the Promise backer, Robert Mercer, is a hedge fund billionaire who keeps a very low profile and has drawn criticism for tax-dodging.

Just one? I thought all those (1%) billionaires 'didn't pay their fair share'. (/s)

Did he 'dodge' taxes by taking deductions or did he "evade" (legal term) taxes by breaking the law?

If the latter, I have full faith in the ability of the IRS to launch high profile investigations of any wrongdoing and to prosecute, especially since he is backing a conservative. I have heard they are particularly good at investigating conservatives, individually or in groups.

I am sure we would have heard about that or you would have told us.

Since the inclusion was likely intended as a 'bring down Ted by pointing the finger at those who support him' move, is the guy under indictment? Is there a formal investigation? Or is this just hesaid/shesaid?

Mercer is not a tax dodger like Trump isn't a tax dodger. They both legally pay as little taxes as possible. And he's a conservative billionaire who funds things like Brietbart...etc.

That is the good news.....the bad news maybe this.....The Establishment, lobby's, Wall Street etc., wanting to keep the/their status quo, are pushing Jeb knowing he can't beat Hillary....
