Trumps Taxes

[p_rehbein]

IF he actually played a role in the release of the Tax Form......it ends up making him out to be a liar. Given his statement concerning their release.

Is making one's self a public spectacle by releasing the Form and then going on TV to call it a criminal act consider the acts of a really smart person?

I hope not..................but, then, this is Trump

Donald Trump is a very smart man. The tax returns that were "anonymously" sent had "client copy" on the top of the page, which makes you assume that Trump sent them. Which is absolutely brilliant. It just showed how ridiculous the main stream media has become. He sent them bait to show how desperate and illogical they are about anything and everything to do with him, and they just made fools of themselves. The wall street journal even reported about these exact same returns a year ago.

I'm waiting for the day that Donald Trump says "I'm the worst president ever, I'm a racist and sexist." Just to have the main stream media disagree and argue with him.

The big question is: Why did just the 2005 taxes make it to the surface?

Trump won't even show that he Is even BEING audited,let alone his most recent tax return.

While I think this Rachel lady laid a huge egg with her REVELATION of Trump's Tax Returns, the response from the right has been a bit questionable.

First: The Issue is not the dollar amount Trump, Obama, Sanders paid, the issue is the Percent of Income they paid. The Report I saw had Trump at 25%, Obama at 18%, and Sanders at 13%. Now, that would seem to be hugely unfair to Trump, right? Well, except that the percentage paid in Federal Taxes is based on the Gross Income. The higher a persons Income, the higher percent they pay in Federal Taxes. So, even that is a bit of a strawman argument.

The important thing revealed in all of this is it absolutely disproves the false claims by Dems that Trump did not/does not pay Federal Taxes. That really is the only true revelation.

Trump earned 150 Million and paid about 38 Million in Taxes. The only way one can be upset about Obama's or Sanders actual dollar amount paid would be if THEY ALSO earned 150 Million.

As for Sanders, and his Net Worth 'n' such........

[FONT=q_serif]First, Bernie owns two homes, not three, according to his Senate finance disclosure form, and his net worth is around $500,000 to $700,000, make him technically not a millionaire, although quite close to one.

So, you are saying that Obummer and the Bern paid taxes on a different scale? Income is income, right? As far as I can tell, percentages are still based on a 100 scale. If you earn a thousand dollars a year, and pay 30% on that, and I earn ten thousand a year, and pay 18% of that, wouldn't you think that was "unfair" ?

Now how in the world can the freaking president of the US, and a senator of the US pay a LOWER percentage of their income than I do?

My low-to middle middle class taxes have been around 23-26% (I think... might actually be higher) as long as I can remember. If and when I ever get a bonus check, it is taxed right at 30%.

Who cares? Unless you simply have a voyeuristic interest in other people's business. To quote the loser, "What difference does it make?"

Do you really think that the IRS is going to let Trump skate on taxes? Don't you think they are going over his returns with a rather fine-toothed comb? Let them do their job, and trust them to do it.....

And all the voyeuristic vultures should mind their own business, and do their own jobs.

Ah, now, Pandy..... the press would have a field day with that....

that would PROVE to them that Trump is the biggest liar to ever take office... because everyone knows that Obama is the worst president ever, and a racist and sexist. Not even Slick Willie could get away with a lie that big....
