I'm going to make a wild guess here that Trump hasn't even touched doing his own taxes for decades. I'm betting he's had a whole slew of tax lawyers do this for him for years and years. I'd actually be surprised if he truly had any part of it not done by real pro's.
So, if he only pays "X" any given year, I'd just chalk that up to having very highly paid and talented lawyers and tax experts that know every single loophole built into the tax code and exactly how to take maximum advantage of that insane set of tax rules we get to deal with as they change every year.
Basically, I'm thinking that everyone rich enough to do this, does this. Good for them, I guess.
I just file this one in the "who cares" file and move on to something important, like how many new pics of redheads show up in the women with guns thread.
You might be right. But if you are, and the story is accurate, you do know that means Trump lied, right? It also completely destroys the myth of him being some financial genius. I don’t see very many blue collar “fence-sitters,” having the “who cares” attitude based on these revelations (again if true).
