She just said about a minute ago that that was the response from the White House as well. She then stated that the 1st amendment gave her the right to do so.

So he paid at a lower rate than my wife and I. For shame. I'd have to see the schedule A for deductions and the $103 million write down from line 21. Accounting for those two figures puts his tax rate at close to 100%. Yes, most people aren't in a position to write down $103 Million. A privilege for the privileged.

Yet everybody on the right is a scientist.... Tax returns are too difficult to understand for the common people. Science is so easy, I can easily see how those people with PhDs have no clue what they are talking about. Republican logic at its finest. Personally I think Trump/Bannon leaked this 2 pager themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,026 #22 March 15, 2017 Iago*** Apparently it's mostly Alternative Minimum Tax, something he is trying to eliminate. Billionaires have tax avoidance options that aren't available to middle class folks. AMT hits a lot of mid-level earners pretty hard. It kicks in at about $100k after deductions are added back in for the calculation. The algorithm may need adjusting to account for inflation, but if it were eliminated altogether, people like Trump would pay almost nothing. Over $30M of Trump's taxes were AMT and STILL he paid at a lower rate than your typical family doctor or dentist.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
