RE: Donald Trump: Running away from income taxes? Yes!

in GEMS4 years ago

...Yeah this isn't the 'gotcha' some people think it is. Back during the 2016 debates he straight up said he exploited every loophole available. The very idea he is paying very little many years comes as a shock to absolutely nobody.

Not even taking into account some years billionaires do operate at a loss, something that could explain the very low taxes. This is one of the stupidest ways to attack Trump. Hell, this isn't even the first time his taxes have been leaked, the first time was when Rachal Maddow read them out on air, and it turns out that year he paid a higher rate than either of his main opponents at the time, Clinton and Sanders.

The Extradition of Assange, continued support of US Surveillance programs, and even his desire to ban flag burning again, all of these are fantastic critisims of the man. Pointing out he exploited the tax laws (Which he already admited to doing) pushed through the legislature by the very people he is currently running against? Yeah, this isn't even going to phase anyone.

To add to this, I can't verify because NTY, the ones who broke the story, is behind a paywall. But apperently this is part of the article.

If that's true, the idea he only paid $750 is, at best, misleading.
