Quote:A company he recieves income from, probably from Officer Compensation on top of earned income contributions in addition to basis distributions.  

 

The taxes are not coming out of his pocket.  The taxes  are coming from the fixed costs of doing business.  I

 

You mention your business... Do you own a sole prop?  An LLC that files as a 1065, or 1120?  

 

You have expenses that you can take as an LLC that you can't take as a sole prop which will reduce your tax exposure.  Very wealthy people can get out of paying taxes if they structure thier businesses correctly. 

 

Even small businesses cannot get the tax protections that wealthy people can.  It's just a fact.  Sorry, I see it every day.  

 

But again, it's fine.  He's smart.  He got out of paying taxes.  

 

But don't come at me and tell me you're gonna make America Great Again, when you have done nothing of the sort your entire life.  You've made yourself great, you did nothing for the workers.  that's fine.  

 

But that doesn't make you worthy of being Commander in Chief.

 

I don't understand why you attack the person instead of the tax code. There is literally no reason for someone in his position to not use the laws granted to him to pay as little tax as possible. It IS smart to pay as little tax as possible. I don't hold it against Apple or Amazon or Trump for the level of taxes they pay. I hold it against the politicians who wrote the tax code that allow them to use loopholes to avoid paying taxes, and so should you.

 

I am not really sure what your argument is, to be honest. Are you saying he SHOULDN'T use the laws provided to pay as little tax as possible? That he should pay more taxes than obligated to by law? Would that make him "more American" in your opinion and more worthy of voting for?
