As the left brags about how much Joe Biden paid in taxes, they missed one important question

Paying more in taxes means often correlates with making more in revenue. Just how much revenue does Joe Biden make?

Following yesterday’s NY Times bombshell (that is actually a nothingburger) about President Trump’s questionably acquired tax returns, one of the big focus points is how much the President paid over the years in income tax. They’re playing on the ignorance of the American people who do not understand how taxes, depreciation, and real estate investing work at that level, but nevertheless it makes for a great talking point. On Twitter, many are making a big deal about the notion that President Trump paid $750 in 2016 and 2017 while bragging that Joe Biden paid much, much more.  

Federal income taxes paid in 2017 (jointly with spouse):

Joe Biden - $3,742,974

Kamala Harris - $516,469

Bernie Sanders $343,882

Elizabeth Warren $268,484

I would think that POTUS defrayed expenses, and if this is for FY 2017 he had no income as it goes into a blind trust controlled by others. His money is making money he doesn’t pay taxes on unless he takes the profit.

All that means is Trump has better accountants than they do. Fancy Nancy and some on the rest of the Ensure bunch passed the laws which included those loopholes. It was legal.

Biden set up his companies as Sub S entities.

HE paid NO Social Security or Medicare into the system from these companies.......

The companies paid NO MATCHING funds.......

NOW—Biden is campaigning on the theme that Trump is trying to destroy Social Security & Medicare for all elderly Americans.....

BIDEN DID NOT PAY HIS SHARE——WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE HIM & VOTE FOR HIM???
