What’s pathetic is most of the democrat base that are OUTRAGED that Trump paid no taxes, haven’t paid a cent in tax either and actually get thousands back in the Earned Income Tax Credit (IE welfare) every year....
What I think is hilarious is these Democrats that seem to think Trump is sitting at his desk looking through volumes of tax law for obscure deductions. I hate to break it to them, but the only time Trump sees his tax return is when he signs it. He has a Manhattan office building or two full of accountants and tax lawyers that work on his personal taxes and taxes for all his businesses 365 days a year.
Because they consider his taxes as being rightfully their money.
We’ve been dumbed down. Around tax time, I over-hear lots of young people talking about how big their ‘tax refund’ was...people working behind a cash register for example. These morons have no idea whether or not they paid taxes, or what the definition of a refund is. Odds are they got ‘work-fare’ in the form of EIC.
I’ve long thought that high schools should teach kids how to fill out a 1040EZ.
Oh - and automatic withholding dumbs people down even more...especially in an era where paper pay stubs are rare. Eliminate it, and have people pay every month. That way they at least have some notion of what they pay.
