The Republican Party has moved SOOOOOO far to the right compared to any other party in the developed world, that everything must seem like communism to you.


Should try to see the world a bit... pretty good countries to live in out there.

Globalist Marxists are global. Sorry the obvious has to be pointed out.

Yeah, that's the thing. I would at least entertain the NYT article if they produced the source documents. This tells me that the source documents don't say what the Times claims or that the Times reporters don't have custody of the source documents, which would be troubling.

This may help explain it. And this is just one irregularity.

Better do something more productive.
Personally, I'm working the phone banks for Uncle Joe. This afternoon I start at 2:00.

I don't care a whit about how much Trump paid in taxes. I am glad to see that Trump is taking advantage of the tax loopholes Joe Biden created in his 180 years in the Senate.

I recall Trump being critical of people not paying taxes, I wonder if he changed his mind. Pretty good example of how the wealthy can game the system, why wasn't this addressed in the 2017 Tax Reform Act.

Exactly, smart accountants and the fact that income taxes are based on "income."

Amazon and Netflix paid no taxes either, just sayin....

Default With his millions, he still collects Social Security

Biden collects his $49K in Social Security, even though he's worth millions.

I really haven't been digging too deep into this. First off, the taxes people like Trump, Bezos, Musk pay or do not pay, really doesn't effect my life. And this "bombshell" that was dropped by NYT can't even really be critiqued or confirmed because it isn't exactly lawful for anyone to have this information, correct ? So we are supposed to take NYT for their word that they leaked all the data, not just data that would twist people up.

It seems to me this is a ploy by NYT to get Trump to release his returns on his own. They released data that they shouldn't have, which could be completely wrong, get everyone all worked up about it, with the expectation that Trump will have to release the returns just to prove NYT wrong.
