Walz's $26 Tax Oversight: A Tale of Educational Travels and Communist Ties

Tue Sep 10 2024
Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has a history of shady business dealings with China that raise serious questions about his judgment and loyalties. In 1998, Walz's for-profit company, Educational Travel Adventures Inc. , was dissolved by Nebraska officials after he failed to pay just $26 in state taxes. Despite this, Walz continued leading student trips to communist China, even as late as 2003. He then revived his travel company in Nebraska a year later, but quickly shut it down again. What's more concerning is Walz's cozy relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As a visiting fellow at a state-run university in Macau until 2007, he lectured on international relations - topics that could have been used to spread CCP propaganda. And let's not forget his choice of wedding anniversary date and honeymoon destination: June 4th, the day after the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Walz was even investigated by the House Oversight Committee for potential CCP influence operations targeting him during his many trips to China. Rep. Jim Banks wants the Pentagon to look into whether Walz properly reported these foreign travels while serving
