re: MUH TAXES: What year is it? MAGA must have unleashed his time machine!

Abraham Lincoln paid almost three times more income tax in 1864 than Donald Trump did in 2016. Not more as a share of his income. More in taxes. Lincoln paid $1981.67 in federal taxes on a salary of $25,000 in 1864-1865. Trump paid $750 in 2016, about one-third what Lincoln paid, but 151 years later. And that's in real, constant dollars. Adjusted for inflation it's, of course, a far more glaring discrepancy.
