Perhaps, but not for this reason. It's simply asinine to chastise someone for not paying more taxes than they're lawfully required.
What it does show is that Trump is just another rich taker that does less than zero for our society. It's not asinine at all. At least that terrible awful Hillary did her part and paid 31%.
If you'll remember the backlash (IMO rightful) Mitt Romney got when he released his taxes and it showed that he paid an effective tax rate of something around 14%. Trump not paying anything for decades should make people pissed as hell (legal or not). He makes Mitt look like a stand up guy.
My guess is that he probably gives as much to charity as he pays in taxes. How the fuck does his ability to dodge taxes help the US economy. Idiot people who think our national debt is caused from headstart, food stamps, planned parenthood, or low income housing assistance... Ugh.... How does the business acumen of The Donald being able to doge taxes help the US economy going forward?
He's legally getting away sticking the bills to the rest of the US citizens. He's not alone... But most people can smell bullshit when "Rich" people don't do their fare share.
