Presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that he pays as little in taxes as possible just like every other taxpayer in America.
“I fight like hell to pay as little as possible for two reasons. Number one, I’m a businessman. And that’s the way you’re supposed to do it,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “The other reason is that I hate the way our government spends our taxes. I hate the way they waste our money. Trillions and trillions of dollars of waste and abuse. And I hate it.”
Trump has not yet released his tax returns, but said he has “no major problem” with doing it. And he said he may tie a release of his tax returns to a release of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails from her time as secretary of state.
The State Department is in the process of reviewing and releasing more than 55,000 pages of emails Clinton sent and received while in the Obama administration...

Trump’s not paying his fair share! Fair share!
It is to a cBS urinalist scribbler.
Unfortunately, what he said isn’t quite true. Americans in general and conservatives in particular pay more than they’re required to pay. It’s a national scandal.
Voting = complicity.
I love the way Trump takes a questions then swivels his Klieg Light onto yet another failure that is 0bama’s record.
Wishing Songbird (McLame) and Romney would have focused on 0bama’s record
Trump and I have something in common.
Trump speaking :
“I will trade you one year of my Tax Returns for a set of 0bama’s Columbia University transcripts, or Occidental School transcripts
The scandal is those rich people who say they want to pay “more” in taxes, but, you know they are lying. This tax the rich meme is pure BS.
I,ve always wondered about “What is my FAIR SHARE?” Nobody talks about what is my fair share coming BACK? I think, don’t know, fair share is what poiticians get to buy off voters to reelect them. But of course I May be wrong (snicker).
I dropped out of the system in 08, have no intention of filing for my SS,they can keep it as i’m just fine on my own.
“He’s an alpha male who is used to being in charge.”
He’s an alpha male so whop de do, there are several
alpha males in the senate, and just because I can’t name
not a nary a one with the excretion of Cruz doesn’t mean
that there isn’t one within 1000 miles of DC. It would be
a lot easier to prove my point if DC were in Texas. However
he would be the first alpha male president since Reagen.
To this day Bush I is still jumping out of planes trying
to prove to himself he is one but we all know better.
BOOM! Exactly what everyone does and thinks but what no politician has the guts to say.....
Good answer! Dummies like Bush, McCain and Romney could never answer the press like that.
agree..

I’m always surprised Democrats and Progressives seem to forget about it...
Even more disappointing is so called conservative republicans don't counter with this every time dims talk about people not paying their "fair" share.
Your "fair share" of taxes is the minimum allowed by law. Period. If Romney had just said: "Neither Harry Reid, nor Barack 0bama, nor anyone else in this country pays one more dime in taxes than they absolutely have to unless they're stupid, and neither do I," The issue would have died. But, like all GOPe-er's, he made himself look guilty for being who he is.
I think the reason Trump is resonating with Republicans is a lot bigger than the fact that he's made a connection on one or two issues. His comportant goes to something much more fundamental. It seems to far too many of us that our putative "representatives" are ashamed of what they are. I'm not ashamed of what I am. I'm not ashamed of who I am. I'm fed up with people trying to make me feel that way.
Crockajawea isn’t into spreading the wampum around if it comes out of her teepee!
This is like watching Rowdy Rousey fight. It’s wrong and I shoudnt enjoy it, but this is a blast. I find myself saying over and over Again. “Yes!” even though I know he’s half a lib
Damn right, Donald! It's the American way!
