what pisses me off is that I make 85,000 a year

[gopiscrap]

and just today paid more in taxes than Trump. If I, making a healthy salary is feeling pissed off, can you imagine how the poor person working two jobs and getting 40K is going to feel, What an asshole!

[uppityperson]

1. And he bragged about it. Incredible. And totally clueless.

[eleny]

2. seems to me is that he insulted everyone who pays taxes

not paying taxes = smart
paying taxes = ?

[Worktodo]

16. He's going to have a release his taxes

I'll have to look at the transcript of the debate but did he seem to imply that he doesn't pay taxes at all? Is he reporting his income correctly? Even Warren Buffett reported paying nearly 18% effective tax rate.

[Sgent]

21. Depending on the structure

and aggressiveness (tax wise) of his real estate deals, he may owe no taxes at all.

[bullimiami]

3. He brags about it and yet he uses a BILLIONAIRES SHARE

Of the roads and infrastructure the rest of us pay for.

A billionaires share of the water and air, fire and police, hospitals and the parks.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I agree. Too bad we have withholding and can't collect wages

by funneling money through a private foundation.

[tammywammy]

5. I saw this elsewhere

Remember how Romney went off on the mooching 47%? He was talking about Trump! Jesus, remember how we though Romney was an elitist 1%er...at least he paid some taxes AND ha e to charity!

[Warpy]

6. You send in quarterlies, too?

Honestly, if he boasted about paying no taxes on ten billion bucks (which he doesn't have), he pissed off every taxpayer out there, whether or not they're spending their time star struck and kissing his butt.

Working people know they're getting shafted on taxes and they know a braggart like Trump is not going to do anything about that.

[spanone]

19. shit, i haven't had a refund since i was in high school....pay quarterly...

self-employed

fuck trump...

[Warpy]

22. I hear that

When my dad died, he left a little surprise behind. It's enough to live on, not enough to turn me into a Trump.

I used to get refunds when I had huge medical bills that were out of pocket because no one would insure me. That's about it.

[spanone]

38. what we pay is based on last years salary...had a great year last year...

this year not so much but.....gotta pay the same amount.....sucks

trump is a fucking billionaire and i'll bet i pay more than him....fuck him

[Warren DeMontague]

20. One opportunity he left open for her I would have liked to see her get him on:

He said "I took advantage of.." the laws, re: bankruptcy, etc.

Yeah, and now you want to take advantage of the American people. Time and again you do what's best for you, why should the American people believe you have their interests at heart?

[smirkymonkey]

25. I can't even believe he effing bragged about that!

Like that makes him a superior person or something. No dipshit, that makes you a corrupt, opportunistic failure.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. seriously.

"I don't pay taxes" "I declare bankruptcy rather than paying my bills" ...

[True Dough]

31. Exactly!

He tried to insinuate that he was doing the best for himself and his businesses all these years but if elected to the White House then he'd go to work for the people. Yeah, right! Like that leopard is going to change his spots. He's already shown more than once that he's willing to treat campaigning as a means to promote his enterprises. He's shameless.

[Doreen]

7. What an ass

All of those people who pay taxes and they make $15,000 a year, $25,000 a year, $35,000 a year. People like him say those people do not pay taxes they just lie.

[duncang]

8. And he wants more tax breaks for him and his companies

I think the only way he would be satisfied is if the American poor to middle class be comes totally subservient to a few of the rich.

[vadermike]

9. He

Did himself no favors tonite We gotta GOTV !! Let's win this thing

11. wasn't she a Nazi also?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. Yes.

Schott proudly kept a Nazi armband at her house and endorsed the policies of Adolph Hitler.

She inherited her wealth like Trump too.

[mountain grammy]

29. I thought that was Leona Helmsley

American nobility at it's nastiest.

13. If you're a single parent, with 3 in college... you'll find you get jack shit for support too!

[rufus dog]

14. I am going to piss you off more!

How many lawsuits do you currently have going?

How many lawsuits have you filed/had filed against you in your life.

Point being, we are paying for assholes like Trump.

[gopiscrap]

15. God no kidding..what an asshole

[Dustlawyer]

18. There aren't enough of the real or fake deductions available to poor and middle

class folks to be "smart!" and owe ZERO! The man is a walking scam who must be insane to think he could withstand the scrutiny of the presidential election!

His supporters may be deplorable, but they are also victims of Trump and the RW MSM. They are suffering in this economy too, but blame the wrong people for the wrong reasons by design.

[white_wolf]

24. Well someone has to fund the country.

And it can't be the Trumps and Romneys of the world. After all, then they would feel persecuted and might not "bless" us commoners with their patronage.

[Skittles]

23. and he calls Hillary "crooked"

Trump is a con man piece of SHIT

[Javaman]

26. my GF and I combine to make 80K.

trumps comment only reaffirms my belief about the ultra wealthy have not concept of what it's like to actually struggle to make ends meet.

trump is the american twit.

[Blue_Tires]

27. are they hiring at your workplace?

[woodsprite]

28. Honestly though, some of those poor or low-mid income people who support him

will still vote for him because they think voting for him will give them the opportunity to be like him, take advantage of the system like him, etc.

I have a friend, nice guy, would do almost anything for you, writes beautiful music that's sung by most high schools and in most churches in the US and some beyond. HE is a die-hard Trump supporter. When you mention the taxes thing, it doesn't make a bit of difference to him because he says that he's just being a good business man and taking advantage of the laws that were created. If we want him to act better, we should change the laws. Of course, my friend I'm sure makes enough that he can take advantage of some of those same loopholes as well, he doesn't exactly fall into the poor or lower middle class. So he knows its wrong, but because he can take advantage of it, he does. Trumps supporters are OK with that.

[Orrex]

30. Already on Facebook I'm seeing this re-spun to Trump's advantage

"Well of course he pays no taxes, he's a smart businessman. We need that kind of fiscal experience in the Whitehouse."

[maryellen99]

32. They are the same ones who rant that lower income people get refunds nt

[Orrex]

33. Yes, exactly

A low income-earner who accepts $50 in monthly government assistance is a parasite, but a one-percenter who takes millions in handouts and writeoffs is a shrewd businessman.

[maryellen99]

34. Yep...nt

[athena]

36. You are a patriot.

You believe in maintaining your country's roads, bridges, schools and ... you guessed it ... airports.

You are a patriot. That pathetic narcissist you are referring to does not deserve to be mentioned in the same line as you or anyone else who proudly pays their taxes every year to support their communities.

[Jim Beard]

37. Unlike us botton wage earners, Trump obviously didn't pay any Social Security.
