I find it hypocritical to condemn Obama for paying 20% of his presidential income in taxes when Trump pays a fraction of a %.

How did he avoid taxes on his presidential income?

RRROOFFFLLLLLLLLL Dump donates all but $1 of his presidential income....that $399,999 a year more than probably any Demican or Repupublicrat pays in taxes every year.

If you want him to pay $.08 out of that dollar as much as I dont like him, tell me where to write the check, Ill cover it.

He still earns money. And he still avoids paying personal taxes.

He said he earned 418m in 2018, and yet only paid $750 in tax. In his own words "do as I say, not as I do"

He gave all control of all his businesses to his family before he officially was sworn in.....Im certain that is worth more than 418m.

Also reducing taxable income by paying your daughter to advise you is a bit dubious. The guy knows how to play the system, and yet if it were a Democrat you would be screaming from the rooftops at how he is stealing govt money to finance his own interests.

To be fair, this isnt limited to Trump, it just highlights how the tax system can be played by the wealthy, and us regular folk are left to pick up the pieces.

I'd much prefer if they abolished income tax altogether so that shady stuff like this didnt need to exist, but people would just find other ways to avoid sales tax.

The system knows how to play Americans. The 16th Amendment should be repealed and the IRS abolished. They use tools like Dump to distract you from the real issues.

Income tax is a humanitarian crime.

I’m getting a bit uneasy about Trump’s chances ever since the debate and then contracting the China plague. While most would agree that he won the debate, his behavior was largely less desirable than Biden on that night.

Then we have all the drama regarding Trump coming down with the China plague, and his many tweets/comments that have apparently offended people in terms of him downplaying the impact of the virus after his speedy recovery, and now claimed immunity ;)

I know the media blows everything this man does out of context and proportion, but I feel he has been a bit reckless in recent weeks in giving the media way too much fuel to portray him as being the the guy people love to hate. I seriously think the dexamethasone played with his mind and made him feel a bit too invincible.

His recent behavior hasn’t swayed me at all, but I just hope it hasn’t for others either. Hopefully he gets himself back on track here regardless..

That Trump guy sure knows how to play the system and avoid paying taxes. He gives away his entire $400,000/yr and saves himself a cool $100,000 in taxes on that $400K.

I think Trump did great during the debate.

The lib media debate plan - have the liberal candidate tell a bunch of outright lies, let them talk enough about it so the lie seems plausible, instantly report the democrat candidate won the debate, "fact check" the republican in the coming days to make them out to be a liar.

Trump cut Bidens lies off in real time, preventing him from saying enough to spin his fictitious story. The media still came out and said Biden won, but has no reason for saying this. And the fact checking had to be tucked away because that became a real can of worms for Biden.

While doing that he got Biden to call the president of the US a clown and tell him to shut up. If he cannot handle a little tension during a debate, what is he going to do when. Facing truly aggressive leaders in Korea, Iran, China, and Russia?

Call them clowns when they disagree? I mean, he has lost it like that on normal US citizens and offered to fight them.

I think we all know his game plan. Withhold funds until his son's paycheck is protected.

I just hope there are enough brains out there for people to see that.

There is definite uptick around here of people that comment that they've seen enough of Trump. People I would never expect, but seems people are finally getting scared of how power hungry he is. Even my own MIL who is very Republican said last week that she can't support her party anymore. The difference I am hearing though, is that it's not even Trump, because once he is gone, there is still all of the garbage left behind.

I’m seeing an uptick in people that are just plain sick and tired of politics and politicians in general. This 24/7 political news cycle is draining.

Suprisingly I've seen a lot of life-long democrats in MA tell me they are voting for Trump now. It could be a really strange election :)

Still, I agree that I don't support the politicians in the republican party, which is a big reason of why I support Trump. The republican party has just become another side of the same corrupt coin. I hate to sound like I've got my Ax1 tinfoil hat on here, but I do believe these career politicians have become a big problem and they are incredibly corrupt and the lies have just become unbelievable.

It reminds me of this - my brother who knows nothing about cars, once came back from a car dealer who told him that because his car had 125,000 miles on it, changing the transmission oil now was likely to just cause problems because he had never done it. This of course is stupidity and I told him I often wonder if mechanics sit around trying to think up the most far-fetched lies they can, create a story that makes it sound plausible and then make bets on whether or not the guy who created it can actually get a customer to buy it.

I feel like the politicians do the same thing, "Here's my story, I bet the American people will eat this up!" Politician #2, "You'll never get that to fly. I bet you $100,000 they won't buy it." Politician #1, "You're on, watch me."

And as Dixon said, with all the 24/7 media coverage and lack of actual evidence collection/journalism with heavy bias; it's tiring.

But people quickly forget that Trump has faced opposition from the republican party from day 1. He was never the politicians' choice. They hate the idea of an outsider who hasn't been indoctrinated through their ranks coming in and doing things differently. It's a real threat to their elitist and privileged way of life. Some republicans support him now because it is in their best interest politically and the ship has sailed. I mean, if Mitch suddenly sides with Pelosi - how do they go back to fighting and creating drama when it's all over?

If you donate 100% of your salary, you still have income and it’s taxable lol. Donating your salary doesn’t make it not income. Not to mention, he presumably has dividend income and other income from different revenue streams.

I’m all for a straight tax. Something like 5% of income/revenue across the board. Little (if any) write-offs/deductions etc.

I’d be up for that any day over the current system.

I would add in making to first $15k of everyone’s income exempt freeing many poor people from the burden.

This would be a reasonable setup for sure. I'd even possibly (without having really thought it all the way through) be for a tiered setup of some reasonable amount. 0% of the first 15-20K, 5% of 20-50K, 7% of $50-150K, etc. I get the idea that each additional dollar of income has less marginal value at some point. Someone making $2M a year is going to do a lot better paying 30% of their income than someone making $50,000 and paying 10% of their income. But still I don't want to make producing more and making more a disincentive - that only opens the door toward the powerful doing shady things.

But there are a million more reasonable tax setups than what we have.

Yeah, and you can't grow gov't and support your elite lifestyle if you aren't taxing the snot out of the citizens. I always love when people say, "The government does so much - how would you get to work if there were no roads?" Yeah, well, how did they build those roads to begin with? With tax dollars furnished by people who got to work before there were roads. Yes, the gov't has done some things that are helpful, but it all began with private income.

Unfortunately we have lost some intellectual capacity here. These judges should be enforcing the laws, not deciding it. Yes there is room for interpretation, but this has become much too broad and subjective. There was a reason for 3 branches of gov't, and having the Supreme Court gain the ability to legislate has been a big mistake.

Well, sadly, there may be more truth to this than we'd like to admit. He is dumb like a fox maybe (I doubt it). If he wins, he certainly isn't going to be the president of the US.

hey dems-how's that mail in vote going, lol....i bet 3/4ths of all mail in ballots are disqualified either from stupidity of dems or just plain cheating
 
democrats are now encouraging voting in person since they have shown lack of inteligence to vote by ballot---seriously!!!

The only fair tax structure would be eliminating income tax completely and switching to VAT tax. All people will pay the same rate and it will be through contributing to our economy rather than stupid, garbage, human filth, and every other fouls word imaginable adjective you can call politicians stealing it via slavery.

democrats have to know biden is a dope-twice he has said he is running for senate.

kamala harris got 3% of votes in primary-yet democrats are too stupid to realize she is who they are voting for president.
 
I disagree. Pelosi is trying to ruin the election process and throw the results into question - and take power herself. She is #3 in line of course.
 
Biden does it again. Arizona. Nevada. Where am I again?

I wonder if that’s why she’s pushing the 25th amendment? Maybe she’s pushing it two-fold....to overthrow Trump if re-elected or overthrow Biden AND Harris if they’re elected. I think we’re about to witness something after this election that we never imagined would happen.

Yup, even Trump said Biden is her real target. Her greed and power grabbing is clear as day. Trump may not be a Saint but the dem leadership is loads worse.
