Lets not compare apples with apples and just make up some stuff for an article

quote:

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden released their income tax returns last week. The first couple reported $610,702 in adjusted gross income and paid $150,439 in federal income tax at an effective tax rate of 24.6%.

While it’s unclear what former president Donald Trump’s income or tax bill was for 2021, we can compare Biden’s 2017 federal tax return with the data The New York Times reported on regarding Trump’s income tax payment in 2017.

Benzinga hasn’t seen Trump’s tax returns and cannot verify the facts reported on by the Times.

Was Joe paying taxes on the 10% kicked up to “the big guy” from the crackhead?

Then it is an irrelevant comparison on multiple levels.

How much did Hunter and old cucks brothers Frank and Jim pay?

Did they all drop off tax payments with bags of hryvnia?

Trump likely gave himself a salary under $100k. There’s a reason why tax lawyers are worth their weight. They will find whatever loophole to keep their clients from having to pay more.

Actually, tax laws are incredibly favorable to real estate corporations and professional investors. All of your assets are tied up in a series of corporate entities. You effectively own nothing but hold all the power.

You can then pass expenses through the business, all that is spent on pre tax dollars. Real estate also lowers your tax burden further through depreciation.

I believe I saw on TD where Biden's s Corp or whatever made 13 million. So what will he pay on that?

Probably because Trump is a lot smarter than Biden.

This is their attempt to cover for the fact that the Bidens paid less in taxes in 2021 than they did in 2020, despite making more money.

Wait.

I thought Don was actually poor, mismanaged all of his investments, and was a terrible businessman. Guys that lose money don't pay taxes.

Wasn't that the narrative in 2016?

Tax return stories always make me chuckle and also illustrate fundamental differences in world view.

Every cent I pay in taxes makes me angry. I would have my tax rate at zero if possible and expect everyone else would too. I see nothing noble about paying more of my hard earned income to fuel governmental waste. As such I would expect even billionaires to do the same.

The only people I get frustrated at when someone earning exponentially more paying less in income taxes are my cpa and the lawmakers (dems have been in power more during my lifetime by the way) who created the loopholes I can’t use.

I hate the "loopholes" talk BS. There are no loopholes in the tax code. There are, however, codes specifically written for reducing tax burden for those that can afford to do it. Every career politician talking about tax loopholes has had plenty of opportunities to change the code. It is just a talking point to rile up the uninformed masses.

Biden and his wife are hard-core catholics. They don't believe in altruism, tithes and the concept of life at conception. But they do believe in the NWO.

Salute!

Trump donated his entire presidential salary to various federal agencies.
