Trump digs in on why refusing to pay taxes makes him ‘smart’

It is a false and absolutely stupid comparison..........

NRN

Yello yello yello.

Did Trump avoid paying taxes he owed? Do you send the IRS more than you owe?
 
According to Republicans, like Mitt Romney and many others the 47% of people who pay no income tax are moochers. Because they don't pay income tax but get entitlements from the government.

Donny Trump pays no Fed income tax and gets MILLIONS from the government in tax breaks, corporate welfare, and other government subsidies. Those same Republicans see Trump as 'smart'.

LOL

Do you pay more than you owe? Do you take every deduction you're due?
 
i just want to see how far down the rabbit hole someone will go to defend trump

Not nearly as far as Hillary supporters have to go. ;)

BTW, the Trump tax thing is a non issue. How about you, do you pay more taxes than you owe?

Yes I do.. But that's not my point. I've been here long enough to KNOW you, and many other Republicans here will NEVER defend the 47% of the poor and middle class and retirees who don't pay Fed income taxes like you are defending Trump. Actually I'm sure you would have much more graphic names other than 'moochers'.

One question

do those in that 47% create jobs?

I know for a fact that Donald, and many like him, do create jobs, by the thousands

If you can't see the difference in that, maybe it is time you took off those partisan glasses just for a second, and really thought about how our economy works, and who creates the jobs out there

i actually pay taxes

do you??

Why do you pay more than you owe? And I'm not defending Trump, merely pointing out the silliness of criticizing someone for legally following the tax code. It's idiotic. There are legitimate reasons to criticize Trump, this ain't one of them.

Trump said it was Hillary's fault that he doesn't pay more taxes and he wishes she would do something about it.
Does that work on you?

Yes, probably many do. The point is people like you criticize the little guy for using tax loopholes and call them moochers, while calling Trump, a man who can afford to pay some taxes, a genius.

Talk about partisan glasses? You got your head so far up the partisan BS that you can't see how you are cutting your own throat, and the rich millionaire talking heads and billionaires like Trump who got you to believe this nonsense, that they are laughing at people like you all the way to the bank.

So you would defend the 47%? Again, I doubt it. I don't mean to specifically single you out. But I've seen faaaaaar too many Republicans defend the rich and Corps. when they pay no taxes, but then criticize the little guy and small businesses who also use tax loopholes.

It's mind blowing to me how, because of politics, any Middle Class working man would defend a millionaire or billionaire who is paying NO Fed income tax. That Middle Class working people is just cutting their own throat. Their taxes WILL go UP, and their Middle Class services will go DOWN! While those millionaires will laugh all the way to the bank.

wow

You think they create jobs?

Please expound on that thought, if you can

We know people like Trump own businesses and employ thousands of other people that pay taxes, and contribute to the economy.

I don't have an issue with people using the tax code to not pay taxes....I pay as little as possible every year, and pay a cpa to make sure that we find every small deduction we can take

And the only problem I have with the 47% is the EIC, which gives my sister back money that she never put into the system

Hard to get blood from a turnip, but can we not pay people money back they didn't put into the system in the first place
 
Trump isn't a genius.

Truer words... and that explains the attraction.


He's taking advantage of tax breaks and loopholes that were endorsed by Hillary Clinton. If Hillary wanted to stop people like Donald from doing this, she easily could have. The reality is many of her friends/donors benefit the same way that Trump does.

Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Tax laws can only be changed with legislation originating in the House.

Senators can sponsor or introduce legislation for consideration. What legislation has Hillary sponsored to change the tax code? Please list them by number, and give a brief synopsis of their content. Thanks in advance.
 
Mr. Trump is, in my opinion, a disgusting human being. He's a liar, a huckster, a deadbeat, and a fraud and goes downhill from there. But, being opposed to Donald Trump doesn't make you bright or righteous or anything special. If instead of backing Trump you back the other disgusting Democrat, Sen. Clinton, that your are simply another stooge.

Amazing how both Mr. Trump and Sen. Clinton created foundations for tax avoidance and laundering money. Amazing how both have been lifelong liberals and how both have supported liberal positions for decades. And, now that it's election time, it's amazing how both lie through their teeth.

But, they aren't the only ones lying. No one has shown, or even alleged, that Donald Trump refused to pay taxes the IRS said he owed. So, the OP was lying.
