Trump supporters: "It's not illegal to not pay taxes!"

[mreilly]

And my response to them:

"I'm so glad you believe if someone didn't do something illegal then they should be above criticism. That means, of course, all of Clinton's infinitely endless alleged criminal acts off the table as well. Since, of course, she was investigated thoroughly and no evidence of illegality was found. I'm glad that's out of the discussion; quite an irrelevant distraction if you ask me."

Crickets, of course, as meanwhile the rusty gears in their brains frantically creak as they try to figure out how they can keep braying nonsense about all of Hillary's non-existent crimes...

1. looks bad when you want to run a company but are not invested in it

Got to question if a person like that would have more interest in helping a rival.
He's probably more invested in Russia at this point.

just realized I pay more taxes than probably ever has.

2. the real issue is the fact trump pays nothing to the government and yet derives the massive benefit

...he pays nothing towards the paychecks of our military and yet is protected by them...he pays nothing towards the jets, the ships...the tanks...and yet is protected by them....he pays nothing for veteran care...not one single PENNY...and yet he has the audacity to complain about NATO not paying their "fair share".....I hope people see the hypocrisy in all this

3. Exactly

... the Trumpkins will undoubtedly insist he "gives back" and "contributes" via all those jobs he allegedly created (yeah, thanks for allowing people to clean your shitty casinos for minimum wage, asshole!) but the fact remains he enjoys the same federal benefits as the rest of us and contributes nothing towards it.

Their entire angle is "Well, wouldn't YOU reduce your tax burden if you could?" My response: "I pay my fair share, thousands of dollars per year towards our society, a society in which I'm raising three kids. And you people complain about deadbeats and leeches constantly. Trump won't release his tax returns so you have NO BASIS for commenting on what he allegedly 'gives back' to society."

4. trump is a perfect example of the white rich entitled class mentality

they firmly believe they have they rightt o avoid paying fair share of taxes....thats for the all worker ants to do....this is THE OPENING for lambasting trump...and the tax system people like him "buy" and believe me, they buy the loopholes from the politicians....

and his whining about NATO not paying their fair share is priceless

5. Hillary's response was a great ...

... something like, if you don't pay taxes, that's no money for our veterans, no money for our military, no money for our schools. I think that's a point that should be emphasized, especially now that Trump outright admits not paying any taxe.

7. aren't these the same people complaining about 50% of people not paying taxes?

Romney's 47% takers and all that?

Complaining about themselves. So much self justification on their part...

[greymattermom]

9. That's perfect

Hillary should just say "That means you're a taker, right?"

8. I'm sure there are some illegalities involved besides being unfuckingAmerican.
