Trump has for 40 years bought and sold politicians in order to gain favors. Naturally he doesnt pay taxes. Only YOU the 99% who vote for the puppets of the billionaire class pay taxes for roads, the military and the national parks. And Trump promises us that he will not pay any taxes in the future either with his huge cuts in taxes for himself. YOU will pick up the tab. The billionaire class are laughing their heads off.

I don't consider taking advantage of loopholes in tax codes, like most smart people do, like H&R Block does for a lot of people, failing to pay. As much as the media has always had an issue with him, a story like this should have come out years ago. Funny how it's only an issue now when it's so close to the election.

I love this one line he had in the debate. The crook says, "Maybe if you paid your federal taxes!" Trump replies, "It would have been squandered too, believe me."

Something else pertaining to the economy that should be brought up is how much the money the government wastes. Example. So much wasted money could be used more efficiently, instead of trying to raises taxes all the time to compensate for waste.

Are you going to keep writing spin or tell me why one should pay more tax than required?

Why hasn't Hillary reformed tax laws during her 30 years in politics? Oh that's right let's blame Trump for not changing tax laws.

They're laughing their heads off while throwing all their support behind Hillary, for some reason, as she pretends to be some advocate against Wall Street.

Hmmm, curious where y'all are getting news from. . . .

A 165 year-old, the most respected newspaper in the country or . . . . . Breibart, Infowars, DailyCaller, The Drudge Report, RightWingNews, Gateway Pundit, etc. . . . . .

A tough call.

Does the average citizen not realize that over 90% of of Big Government's funding comes from payroll and wage income taxes--taxes that ONLY touch people working for a living? A national sales tax would be much more "fair," but if one is ever implemented, it will only be ADDED to the massive taxes that have empoverished the working class (and it will manage to exempt the ultra-rich Ruling Class anyway).
Yep. W2 income is the highest taxed. It's hard to become rich because at the lower end you're just surviving. As you climb "the income" ladder you move into a higher tax bracket and you pay higher % on the top portion. With each move into a higher bracket you pay a higher %. .

Think about it, you get a standard deduction plus a personal exemption (per person). This amount of money government deems is needed to provide for those people and it's not enough. Anything above that amount is up for government grab.

Some small business owners really just own their job and pay high taxes too. Some small business do grow, they can employ people but they're getting hammered with taxes. The small business owner is who Obama hit hard with his tax increase. He didn't hurt the rich (they already have their money). Obama got away with it because people don't understand the difference between true wealth and high income. Obama got the little guy and not the rich and now here comes Hillary, using the same tactic.

Trump is trying to tell people but they won't listen, mostly because it's complicated and worse he has Hillary and liberal media misleading the public who are tax code illiterates.

They're not loopholes, they're laws -- beware the left's language.

When the left discusses a tax provision it likes, they call it a deduction or credit. When the left discusses a tax provision it does not like, they call it a loophole. There is no difference!

Trump will be paying 70% in taxes after Hillary transforms things.

From the article:

Mr. Mitnick, though, said there were times when even he, for all his years helping wealthy New Yorkers navigate the tax code, found it difficult to face the incongruity of his work for Mr. Trump. He felt keenly aware of the fact that Mr. Trump was living a life of unimaginable luxury thanks in part to Mr. Mitnick’s ability to relieve him of the burden of paying taxes like everyone else.

“Here the guy was building incredible net worth and not paying tax on it,” he said.



Despicable.

Can you or Mr. Minick tell us how much y'all donate to the government every year?
