The man adhered to the US legal system, specifically within the boundaries of the US Tax code, and was able to keep much of his hard-earned personal wealth and receive what he was legally due.....but being able to keep more of his own money by doing so is not 'FAIR'?!
We aren't going back to the Liberal BS argument about how libs feel 'the rich' should pay MORE in taxes 'because they can afford it' while talking bout everyone 'paying their FAIR share', are we?!
What is fair is that Trump abided by the law and was able to keep as much of his own money as legally possible.
What is fair is that EVERY American has the right and ability to do the same thing.
What is both 'fair' and POSSIBLE is for any and all Americans to pay the IRS MORE money than what they want if they so choose.
- If you think you should / want to donate more to the US government, GO FOR IT! No one is stopping you.
If you don't like the legal process, the laws governing the Tax Code then call your Reps and demand they change them. Ask them to eliminate the intentional lawyer-speak, reduce the giant thousand-page tax code with something simple that everyone can understand and that will end many f the currently legal loopholes anyone who qualifies for can take advantage of.
- Flat of Fair Tax...Sales tax....take your pick - they are all better than what we have now.
But, with ALL due respect I want you to know, don't give me the IN MY OPINION OR THE OPINION OF OTHERS Trump did not pay his 'FAIR' share. That is one helluva subjective sentence / opinion. Thank God we don't (usually) run our laws so subjectively and that we have actual LAWS that define what we can, can't have to, or don't have to do. TRUMP FOLLOWED THE LAW. HE PAID WHAT HE WAS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO PAY.
'Nuff said....but, again, if you don't like the tax system set up by Congress, don't bash Trump for obeying and staying within the boundaries of the law - blame the jackasses who WROTE / WRITE the tax code....guys like multiple-time-tax-fraud-offended Charlie 'Tax Cheat' Rangel.
