I don’t even see the argument that Trump is sleazy with regards to only paying his obligation. He’s literally hiring a firm to a do job and they are doing it to the best of their ability. I guarantee you Trump hasn’t been pouring over his books for the last 40 years and coming up with ways to minimize his tax bill. That’s way too complicated for anyone to do unless you’re an expert.
This is a really good test for whether someone’s dislike of Trump is rational or not IMO. I just don’t see an argument for attacking Trump on this one. There are other areas for sure where the attacks are warranted but this one seems like quite a reach.

Who can actually list what this POTUS has actually really paid in Taxes overall not just in the USA, as "income taxes," which is just a fraction of what a real estate owner / investor / operator / developer pays in "taxes?"
Plus what deductions has he taken
Deductions for his actual POTUS salary which it is reported that he directly donates to other Federal agencies
What about other donation or charity or politicians?
Could it be that rich guys use tax loopholes to their advantage and see it as an incentive for providing so many jobs, loans, service on loans, tax firm employees, golf course employees, newspaper writers, hotel and travel business jobs, etc....?
No doubt guys like Trump are master creators of jobs and wealth and our laws are structured to allow that and even promote it...just think about all the bloggers and pundits that would be out of a job if no one hated this cat...Certainly a crazy world we live in.
Still, who can give us an overall picture of this man financially...not just attempting to paint a OMB picture?
And, why does anyone trust the NYT to write an unbiased article in the world of Trump?
I don't have the ability nor time to give this what it would take to figure out, but surely some unbiased journalist is still out there that can?
- This would include foreign taxes paid on money made overseas
- State taxes paid
- Property Taxes paid on all properties
- Foreign usage/government fees
- Franchise taxes
- Taxes and fees paid for Payroll /Healthcare in his companies (I think the Trump Organization employees 23K directly, not sure how many indirectly).

AOC's tweet was funny. She said she paid more in taxes on her tips as a bartender. Did she forget that those are taxable wages, that taxes were not being pulled out.
Also, I know this does not need to be said. A business income is not taxed like payroll taxes. If it did there would no business able to operate. A good business runs a EBITDA of 25-30 % , take that away the businesses cease to operate do to no profit.
Are you working for free? I'm not.

Every bartender I've ever known didn't report 100% of their tips, I would bet AOC did the same. I'm not judging anybody who has done it but that is actually illegal as opposed to what Trump allegedly did...so get off your high horse AOC...you'll be using the same loopholes once you become a millionaire by "serving" in Congress.
Anybody who doesn't like the current tax code should NOT vote for Biden, or any other politician that's been in DC longer than a generation. This is pretty simple folks.

Even while declaring losses, he has managed to enjoy a lavish lifestyle by taking tax deductions on what most people would consider personal expenses, including residences, aircraft and $70,000 in hairstyling for television.
I guess this part makes me the most upset...$70,000 and this is the best you can do?...lol...do appreciate how the top stays in place (most of the time)

Both sides understand this is just publicity stunt to make Trump look bad.
Any one of us with lots assets never needs to pay personal income tax unless we choose to do so. All we need to do is to take out personal loans backed by our fixed assets. Personal loans are not taxable...and therefore we owe no personnal income tax.

Question....how much do you think the average celebrity on tv spends on their appearance? I honestly don't know. And do you think any of them are not claiming it as a work deduction?
Again if this upsets you that much, then definitely do not vote for the person who was responsible for writing the tax code for 40 years. I simply can't understand your logic....how can your anger over the law not be directed at the actual career lawmaker?
