And it seems that Hillary didn’t pay “her fair share” as if paying your taxes is a voluntary thing.
The leftists make the AMT sound like some sort of a bargain that lets you get away with low taxes. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The AMT is a default flat tax for those having a good year.
After you’ve jumped through all of the government hoops designed to lead you into one favored investment or another—you get to work through your income taxes, and then after you’ve planned and worked all year according to the tax incentives, you get to re-calculate it, and if you’ve been too successful, you get hit with the AMT. It really sucks, is very frustrating.
Wonder if a Trump operative planted the tax returns, knowing full well the law means nothing to leftist newscasters : )
Still waiting for Uncle Bernie to pay his “Fair Share” come on Bernie, be a good lil Socialist and cough up 80 percent of your wealth to the Govt..and really is there a need for Bernie to have THREE Houses..he should give up one..for the cause of course
Thank you, inadvertently based transman.
Still amazed at the blinding stupidity of going on the air with this tax return even as it dispels many of the lies the Fake News Media have been spinning for months.
If Trump were the leaker, why would he be so sure the leftists would run with this particular tax return?
And if he were the leaker, wouldn’t it make more sense to leak it to someone at Fox News where it would get good spin?
When the GOP used to do stupid things (they still do), we’d wonder how anyone would be so blind as to not see the consequence coming. I thought the Left were evil but also very intelligent. What this is showing is that the Left can easily be rope-a-doped by Trump, the chessmaster, into making really stupid mistakes when many of us thought they were smarter than that.
For the left it was all about feelings. They all got to participate in their daily minute of Trump hate. Who cares what the reasons were.
Considering that the US population was about 300 million in 2005, the average person's share of payments to the government would have been about 0.0000007%.

Thank you John. Great article. Maddow is an idiot.
Houston Chronicle head line is TRUMP WR0TE OFF 50 MILLION IN TAXES.
I had to take some deep breaths in the grocery store. I considered ripping it to pieces or spitting on it.
Tonight a Houston teacher is on the hot seat for tweeting, in a back and forth tweet with a Muslim, that he hates Islam. The reporter kept saying he said he hates Muslims. Of course, they interviewed a CAIR rep.
This world is too full of idiots to survive. I won’t be here, thank God, but within 40 years the world will be under Sharia law. These people are giving a world of living hell to their children and grandchildren.
