BREAKING! The Great Trump Tax Hype Bombshell!

[A Theist]

Didn't bother reading the OP.  Could have predicted that A Theist would run with this.  So hard to find common ground with a Trump supporter.

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.

Hell no! It wasn't Maddow's fault that she fucked up! The Republicans twisted her arm and forced her to put Trump's 2005 tax returns on the air! She thought she had something big that would validate all the conspiracy theories against Trump. The only thing she accomplished was coming out of this looking like a dumbass. I think it's more like the screeching ass democrats scampering around looking to grab at anything they can find to undermine Republicans. democrats are crazy. They're fucked in the head. Their brains are Silly Putty.

Again, the important thing to take away is that trump paid a smaller percentage of income tax than most middle class people. 

Obama - paid 18.7% of income tax in 2015
Bernie Sanders - paid 13.5% of income tax in 2014
I'm sure you're just as upset that barack and Bernie paid smaller percentages of their income taxes than most middle class people, too.
