Good discussion of tax policy and why President Trump needs a good tax shelter or two.

The GOP needs to use this as leverage to start a conversation for a federal maximum alternative tax.

he does everything possible to minimize the amount of money he turns over to the IRS. As far as I’m concerned, he failed in 2005.

And the government does everything in its ever-growing power to prevent people holding onto their money, including implementation of the Alternative Minimum Tax.

I’m in favor of everyone paying their fair share but I’m not sure the AMT is fair.

$38 million in taxes, he paid...think of that.

President Trump has paid so much in taxes to US that it makes him 100% vested with absolute say-so credibility. WoW, $38 mil. omg!
Me thinks he’s paid his pound of flesh and then some!

[pfflier]

But I’m not impressed

Bad news twinkie. He was not elected to impress you.

[New Jersey Realist]

Maybe Trump is embarrassed by how much tax he paid so he wanted to keep it quiet!

Perhaps it should be Trump asking to audit the Obama's tax returns given:

$4.25M/The Los Angeles-based interior designer Michael S. Smith is reportedly in charge of decorating the Obamas’ new home

Waimanalo, Hawaii residence ..... $8.7M

D.C. residence ..... (leasing $5M)

Dubai residence.....$4.9M (fwiw: Dubai offers limited extradition)

Chicago residence:.....$1,650,000
