Featured Maddow's Tax return "scoop" a nothingburger

Well, it showed he made more money than we thought and that he paid more taxes than we thought. So, it kind of puts him in a good light.

Congratulations to Rachel Maddow for successfully taking the spotlight off TrumpCare. Although I could believe that Trump himself leaked the tax return for the purposes of changing the media's focus.

Yeah, it's never enough for liberals. An effective tax rate of 25% is extremely high.

The real story would be in the tax return attachments.

 

She made an idiot of herself. Promised much but delivered nothing.

 

Trump paid an effective tax rate of 24 percent and saved millions of dollars in additional taxes by claiming the losses, according to the document, the first two pages of which were obtained by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston and first reported by DC Report, a nonprofit news site he runs, and on MSNBC's “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

The return shows that Trump paid $36.5 million in income tax, of which about $31 million was in the form of an “alternative minimum tax,” a supplemental tax designed to cut down on filers with excessive deductions. He also paid about $1.5 million in Medicare and Social Security taxes.

According to former Vice President Biden, President Trump is a true patriot!

I agree with Biden.

 

It is a sad day when paying extreme level taxes to the government is a patriotic act. Using government to take care of us is lazy, unAmerican, and pure evil.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmm, well as ...................... ok, I won't go there.

 

2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
2Th 3:11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.
2Th 3:12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
2Th 3:13 As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.
2Th 3:14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.
2Th 3:15 Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

 

This is not news. Most competent people in business do the same thing.

 

Not exactly on the topic and would be misunderstood, purposely or otherwise.

 

Can anyone give a clear definition of "Fair share"?
