I expect one of the reasons his admirers love the duck is because he lies and cheats and steals his way to success 24/7. Their hero?

So the New York Times got access to ten years' worth of the duck income tax returns.

In 2016 the duck paid $750 in income taxes. A token so he could say "I paid income taxes". Other years he paid zero nada zilch.

Now for many of us that is unconscionable and UNPATRIOTIC. For the duck admirers that is another thing they love about him. HE SCREWS EVERYONE ALL THE TIME AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! A definite asset in their eyes and worthy of the presidency. Also an added bonus is his full support by a hostile foreign enemy who ordered the 2016 election to be interfered with 5 million ways from Sunday. It was completely RIGGED so the duck would "win" just as they are doing today with the 2020. Only this conspiracy is far vaster far wider far deeper far higher far uglier and eviler. They've had 4 hears of practice to make perfect. Will he "win" again? I do not know. It won't be because his cohorts and cronies and scammers and liars and con artists and devil-worshipping infidels  aren't trying everything and anything 24/7 by hook or by crook to rig him in again. We'll see.

    We need the Fair Tax. 

    No games. Just pay the exact percentage.

    Just because things are technically “legal” doesn’t mean they aren’t dishonest.

    It is taxes ....if you filed anything dishonest...they will let you know.   Taxes are not about morals. No one pays more than they are told they must. 
    And you are required to file accurately.  Claiming too much or too little it not only dishonest ot is illegal.

    Amazon "legally" didn't pay any taxes (actually claimed a rebate in the millions).  Does that make it "honest" (fair)?

    Yes. It is both legal and honest. That is exactly the amount they are required to pay/recieve.  If we do not like the results of our tax laws then they can be changed. But as long as the tax payer files correct income information....they are being botb legal and honest. 

    Honest does not mean fair.

    If it were LEGAL he wouldn't have tried so hard to hide it. What he has done is criminal corrupt ILLEGAL at the dark side which is where he lives and breathes. You adore what he is and that is your right. Sigh.

    If it were illegal...the IRS would be after him. And it would be all over the news. 

    He is in real estate. He renovates buildings. You get to write it off. All the labor. And then depreciate the buildings. 

    Our tax laws need changed. But we need the Fair Tax. (No income tax...it is a sales tax) this encourages savings and investment) But he pays an accountant to record and file his taxes. And it is that accountant's job to make sure his client pay the least amount of tax possible. This post was edited by my2cents at September 29, 2020 5:09 AM MDT
