human and social issues are not a bottom-line kind of thing. Taxes are useful, they serve a purpose. His refusal to be transparent with his own taxes combined with his arrogance and his disdain for fairness, justice and equality make him supremely unqualified for any public office. And, you are right Trump brags about not paying taxes, calls himself "smart" and says he "takes advantage of the laws of this country" but he wants to decide how collective tax money is spent. Oh Hell No!

being too high he pays zero. What does it matter what the tax rate is if they pay nothing.

If the rate was zero, think of the money he could save.

he wants they / he would pay nothing. So the complaint about the tax rate being SOOOOOOOO high is B.S.

wants the WH for his parties and to show off his decorating extravagance.

He will use the very best decorators. The best designers.

And no need to pay them.

This whole campaign has been one massive ego stroke.
