S.J.WTrump and other rich cunts don't pay tax=well they're just smart.
Mother uses food stamps to feed her children= stop mooching off the government.
You realise you have this massive debt that the middle class, you, me and pretty much everyone on this website has to pay because the rich manage to escape taxes using loopholes. Maybe, just maybe if we enforced our tax laws and made the rich pay their fair share of taxes we wouldn't have crumbling infrastructure and schools, among many of other problems the US has.
Look, I'm with you on that, the tax laws could use a major overhaul. I absolutely agree that all the loopholes (and various deductions) should be eliminated. A lowered corporate tax rate with no loopholes and only scarce deductions would be better than the current system.
That being said, I don't fault businesses and individuals that use the tax code in a legal manner. As it stands now, the tax laws
are being enforced. The laws don't stipulate that the rich pay their "fair share". I, for example, take every tax deduction and credit I can get, I'd be an idiot not to.
The federal government, and state governments, have more of a spending problem than a revenue problem. While I'll agree that rich hedge fund managers can and should pay more, I want to see more waste and excess cut out of the federal and state budgets first. The whole "crumbling schools and bridges" problem is a result of government mismanagement more than a lack of resources.
Not to mention, it's a complete farce that Trump pays no taxes. There are various forms of taxation, it's not solely based on income tax. Think of all the people his businesses employ, he pays payroll tax for each of them. Not to mention the income tax that they then pay on that income that they receive through being employed by Trump.
Look, you can hate Trump all you like, but on a financial and legal level there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with anything that he's done. The loss deduction is a basic part of the tax code, it's just the amount that bothers people.
Now, taking a look at Apple and their triple Irish tax evasion over in Dublin, now that is an outrage. I don't see any leftists out protesting those rich liberals at Apple paying only 0.1% tax on their earnings.
With that said, Trump has vowed to reform the tax code, Hillary would like to keep it exactly as it is, but with higher taxes on the rich (which will have a minimal effect if all the deductions and such you're complaining about remain as it).
Why do you think all these oligarchs donate so much money to her campaign?
