Obamas Paid 20.5% in Income Taxes, 2011 Returns Show

[jknowgood]

Trump still does not pay taxes

Lol, he gives his salary away after he pays taxes. You're an idiot.

 

[jknowgood]

Humm, that is especially hypocritical because Obama raised the top marginal personal income tax rate from 35% to 39.6% in 2013. Although his salary as president was probably liable for a tax rate of 20.5%, the perks of his office--free travel, free meals, free security, excessive paid time off, etc.--were worth much more. To set a good example, he should have paid taxes on them. After all, he also imposed a salary cap of $600K on top executives whose banks received federal bailouts. He's raking in way more than $600K from speaking fees and book deals alone.

If obama can set tax rates for all rich people he will gladly pay his fair share. Trump pays nothing and you don’t even care to see if that’s true.

You love him so who cares what you think

Please prove that Trump pays no taxes, or just shut up.

Why doesn't he set an example and pay the 30% he's advocating all the other wealthy people pay under the Buffet Rule?

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported adjusted gross income of $789,674 in 2011 and paid just over 20 percent of it to the federal government in taxes.

Their income declined nearly $1 million from the previous year, when the president was reaping larger amounts from sales of his bestselling books. The numbers were disclosed in the Obamas’ federal income tax return and gift-tax return, released Friday by the White House, along with those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama paid $162,074 in income taxes, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent. In a statement, the White House suggested that Mr. Obama believed that he should pay a higher rate, noting that his administration wants to reform the tax code and ask “the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000.”

Obama Releases His Tax Returns

Then pay it!! What's stopping you Mr. President?? Why don't you walk your talk?

People really fall for this shit?

He's not president, he follows the law. It's not his fault any more.

Yeah, Obama did not donate his paycheck like Trump.

-Geaux

Trump donated his paycheck?

Yes he does, but CNN won't tell you that.

Can you imagine if obama didn’t show you his taxes?

I think trump not releasing his taxes after the election is a deal breaker too. He lied. That wasn’t a promise he just couldn’t deliver like repealing the aca or building a wall. He chooses to not show his taxes because they show his Russian connections.

Says something about people who don’t care that he lied

His taxes were revealed, but it didn't fit your narrative, so you ignore it.

They were never liar. Heavily redacted so you can’t see the truth.

Stop lying or post the facts and don’t leave anything out

To be honest it's hard to believe IRS figures after they went after conservative organizations in their fascist style political take over.

But yes, Trump also paid more taxes than CNN, MSNBC, all the sources where you get your bullshit.

If it said that he didn't pay taxes, you wouldn't shut up about it. That's a fact.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Funny Chit. A stupid Trumpette complaining about Obama's tax return while their Orange POS hero hides his.

I’m more amused by low information tards like you foaming at the mouth over a thread I created six years ago

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

But Trump earns millions every year and doesn't pay any taxes. Isn't this an instance of people in glass houses throwing stones?

Where is your evidence he doesn’t pay any taxes? This is another example of how Regressives just repeat something enough times until people will believe it, proof not required.

And even if he doesn’t, how is that throwing stones at a glass house? When was Trump running around the country complaining about other people not paying enough taxes? That’s what you jealous, greedy Socialists do.

He claims it makes him smart

A pittance compared to the taxes he doesn’t pay

Indeed, but as you might recall his tax return was illegally released and your hero Rachel Maddow was all over it...

The details turned out to be exactly the opposite of what you had been claiming, and the rhetoric soon died. Are you so stupid that you think we forgot about it?

Holy shit, did you just bring up a thread was posted in 2011?

As you saw the thread had zero replies, no one cared even back then. And equivalently can you imagine - no one cares about Trump's tax returns now either, outside of CNN's agenda division.

I do. And isn’t it interesting tax is crying that obama ONLY paid 20% but I wonder if he minds trump paying zero

Trump provides the biggest tax cut ever to all Americans, and you are bitching that he is a hypocrite for paying (assumably) low taxes?

ROFL! You just can't make the stupidity of these guys up. It's unreal...

it's about the eighth largest, trumpling

Analysis | President Trump's tax cut: Not 'the biggest' in U.S. history

speaking of unreal

trumplings never let the facts get in the way of their feeeeeeeelings

 

[hadit]

Trump still does not pay taxes

Then I guess he didn't benefit from the new tax law.
