Donald Trump regarding not paying taxes: "That makes me smart."

Hmmm....

Mr. Law and Order candidate.... the police, FBI, DEA, border patrol, ICE, US Customs, various state Department of Corrections, are funded by taxes.

Education is funded by taxes.

Public Safety is funded by taxes.

Disaster relief (FEMA) for flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, and earthquake victims, is funded by taxes.

The Secret Service, who protects your ass, is funded by taxes.

By trying not to pay your taxes, you are giving the big middle finger to all those.

a money-grubber.

I think he shouldn't be allowed to use our roads and other publicly paid for infrastructure since he refuses to pay his fair share of the tax burden.

Did I mention that everything about him makes me want to puke.

F*ck him!

Deadbeat taxpayer Cheeto thinks he shouldn't have to pay taxes and his ignorant supporters probably pay more than he does!

Through the years I have noticed from my pay stubs that what I get taxed somehow was more by the less I made so I have been more stupid at some times than others. It just depended if I got less or more. I looked at friends pay stubs to make sure it was not just me and guess what they had levels of stupidity also.
