Tax the rich?

I'm confused. If Donald Trump is all for letting the rich pay fewer taxes, why is it that he, being a rich person, already does not pay taxes?

he's jonesin' for a refund ... if he doesnt pay anything then he should get something back.

So the system is good for rich folks and they need no tax reduction anytime in the near millennium..

Tax deductions should be eliminated for any business that uses foreigners...including Trump's businesses.

I wouln't be opposed to Trump sticking it to the richest rich while in office.

Estate taxes, which he plans to eliminate.

All of this talk about giving taxes to the rich is BS. They already don't pay any taxes.

The chart below is from this article: High-income Americans pay most income taxes, but enough to be ‘fair’?. It may make you rethink your statement.

Personally, I think people should thank the rich for their generosity rather than clamor for them to pay even more than what is obviously far beyond their "fair share."
