While I do agree that Maddow is guilty of a little grandstanding, it was peoples expectations that ultimately led any disappointment. Sure, I would have liked to have seen this past years full tax return.
I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but the fact that just two pages of a tax return from 2005 show up in a guys mailbox seem dubious to me. Also, the fact that the WH published the income and tax paid ahead of the show tells me that they knew exactly what she had in her hand before the show aired.
Again, the important thing to take away is that trump paid a smaller percentage of income tax than most middle class people. The reason was due to the alternate minimum tax which he wants to get rid of. If it had not been for the alternate minimum tax, he would have paid about 3.5% of his income in taxes.
Was it legal.. Yes.. Is it right? IMO fuck no..
This is the kind of shit you people who keep putting republicans in power perpetuate.
