"Now MSNBC is trying to push the narrative that Trump leaked his own tax return."
Even if he did, it discredits the lefts (including the LSM) constant chant that he "paid ZERO taxes and gave ZERO to charity"
They have so much egg on their faces we can't tell who they are.
Again IF Trump is behind this, it proves AGAIN how smart he is at letting the LSM and the left bury THEMSELVES.
ONLY the very far left sheep will believe ANYTHING they say.
LOL, MSNBC, Trump leaking his own taxes. Wait! They are upset that he didn't, now their upset because he may have. The liberal reality show keeps getting better and better LOL.
Why didn't Maddow just read it, find out he paid a crapload of taxes in 2005, and decide to ....NOT publish this story and not make it a big deal?
She read it, she just wanted good ratings.
First their loyalty is to their own pocket book, then it's to whatever propaganda they're pushing. Now it's spin time, but prior it was being a ratings ***** even when she knew it would help Trump.
Only "destroyed" to someone who has zero knowledge about how tax brackets and tax calculations work.
Sanders makes considerably less money which puts him in a lower tax bracket. With a taxable income of $140,994, less than half his income is being taxed at the 25% bracket. And even if Sanders had claimed $0 in deductions, his effective tax rate would still be less than 25% of his net income.
That's kind of the point of our tax system. Just because you earned enough to reach a higher bracket of taxation does not mean every dollar you earn is taxed at that amount.
It's sad how so many people who are considered liberals (ya know, the open minded people, supposedly) can't see this and that it hurt them and made Trump look better by debunking their "TRUMP HASNT PAID TAXES IN 20 YEARS CLAIM".

And for those who claim she wasn't making it a big deal, no. It basically FLOODED my Facebook and Twitter feeds last night.....DURING the season finale of This Is Us, which was super-hyped to begin with.
Like I said in an earlier post, it made me laugh and embarrassed of why I'm a liberal.
It was 2 pages, an easy read, I'm still wondering why she didn't read it before making a big deal about it.
He had 198 million in revenue. And he had an operational loss of 915M. A business loss is a legitimate loss and carryover.
Have you ever run a business in your life?
There is no hypocrisy. The 1 million of dollars he paid in taxes that year was 1 million too much.
All we know is the amount of the loss, there are no details but there are many games that can be played with real estate. The point is that some were trying to paint him as the common man because he paid his share in one year, that is not always the case. Paying the going rate in one year doesn't prove a thing but a $915M loss in one year is an eye opener.

Not really, this is why I asked if you ever run a business before.
With his properties alone, we expect him to have a depreciation of 100 + million a year regardless. This is a normal tax write off for those who own properties, he probably owns billion dollars worth of properties.
Then there is depreciation on his boat, plane, various cars.
Nothing wrong with it. The point is a business can have a high revenue and still have a huge loss. That's how businesses sometimes works and why Uncle Sam allows the loss to be carried over.
