1:26 to 1:35 is comedic gold
Amazon made 11.2 billion and paid $0 in Federal taxes in 2018. Its called gaming the system…..but I’m not a lawyer lol
Thanks for this haha what a joke
Its not funny. As the guy said he’s not a lawyer so he’s just giving his own layman’s analysis of the situation
@Avery H Amazon is a company, not an individual. As far as anyone knowns Jeff Bezos does pay the income tax legally required of him, which (even by abusing loopholes) is most likely FAR more than $750 a year
“I’m not a lawyer” LMAO
Perhaps had you stayed in school. You might have been able to be a lawyer.
🤔LMAO… ROTFLOLAD.
They sure are scrapping the bottom of the barrel…must be getting worried.
trump should release his taxes and prove them wrong, also trump is getting obliterated in the polls
“Scrapping”? 🤨 I wonder if this technically counts as r/boneappletea. 🤔
VERY WORRIED!
RawMaterialENT yep and in 2016 the polls said the same thing, but look trump is potus, and dont mention but hillary won. Hillary won the popular vote not the electoral college. That is how it works in america.
@- r/russiantrollsinthecomments
Not going to lie…kinda pissed that all the Canadian news outlets are focusing on this crap. Don’t we have our own issues to worry about?
@Garl Vinland Bwaaaa Haaa Ha , lololololol hahahahaha , what a load!
@HughRGlen Well, look at the bright side. With Alberta going down the toilet due to mismanagement, you guys can finally collect on that sweet equalization money you keep whining about.
@Garl Vinland Yeah it clearly shows.
@Michael Smith I’m not in Alberta, I just know basic math and politics. And am not a partisan troll..
@Michael Smith So Alberta was rich enough to save enough money to support itself for eternity?? Your a real thinker.
“Look I’m not a lawyer, I think it’s illegal…?” cant they refer to a real lawyer on the real news? F for effort! Credibility? Integrity?
Look this guy up… It might be educational…
Does this “historian” fact check the other news groups, for all their bs trust worthy news!? GTFOH!
Yah, Agree. Start from FoxNews
Go back to the beginning of this video… You might hear presidential… Before the word historian… Shane.
Nobody🙌🏻

Anti Trump ☝🏻️

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant hands
Didn’t the New York Times run this same story back in 2016?
@Sean Molloy They released one page of one year of his NY state tax returns back then, but not very much was revealed.
@Mike Smith Agreed… by the way, was the one page the Cover page!??!
no they did not, why hasn’t trump released his tax returns in 6 years? what better way to prove them wrong?
RawMaterialENT or the nyt could release them.
@Ken Dac they just might.
NYT article also says No findings of dealings with Russia in his returns. You won’t see that here
Tax returns don’t show dealings with Russia by definition, not because they didn’t happen. They may or may not have.
that’s not an effective defense at the fact that Trump has not released his Taxes, something that would prove him right, no?
@RawMaterialENT Trump could prove the story was wrong… Just by releasing those two bottom lines on one year.
Will he do it… No… Why… Because the story is true.
Congress approved all business tax-loops for all Americans throughout the USA.
And he promiced to change that when he got into office…he’s done nothing to do that!
Douglas No, no he didn’t. He couldn’t do it even if he wanted to, key word here is Congress.
@MsPoshlife You’re absolutely right but, he can suggest to his party the loopholes to close (as he said he would when he was running) and when they had control of congress they could have.
Douglas so you get this upset when every politician doesnt follow through?
No billionaire pays taxes. This is not anything to be upset about unless you want to be upset with every billionaire
Trump: “Nobody is paying more taxes than me.”
Why should canadians care what a historian thinks trump should do?
What’s the point of this story?
Well… Have you ever heard the phrase… When the USA sneezes Canada catches a cold…
What happens in the USA effects Canada.
Multi million dollar news company brings an “expert”
Expert: “Trump should do the right thing”
Lol
You should have stayed in school…
Or at the very least… Looked this guy up… Learned about him… Before you posted such an embarrassing post.
Virtually every video I see on this has more dislikes then likes. It’s absolutely hilarious
Yep. Trump is done.
*than.
The words then and than are not interchangeable. DMC Strong.
What is hilarious is that you have no idea who is being interviewed.
Look him up… It might interest you.
I’ve said that before
@Jason Bartlett I have said the word… That… Many times before as well.
please!!!! read the actual NYT article (always near the bottom) do real fact check b4 you spew…
I tried to find it but there’s multiple articles and they’re long af lol
the ceo of amazon doesn’t pay anything…
I suppose you know this… Because…
Allan L doesn’t understand the system we live in. The person making the claim has to prove the claim . Not the accused having to prove it wrong. The NYT may have committed a crime by publishing private information.
Arighty, NOW lets see Watters, Pelosi, DeBlasio, BOTH Biden’s AND for schiffs and giggles…Mr. Adam Schiff!!
Yeah… Then we can move on to the finale which is Trump… This is a news story about trump…
This guy is full on shaking at how much he hates trump.
Someone should tell this dimwitted Lichtman that the NYT article ITSELF disproves its OWN CLAIM! It LITERALLY says he paid millions in taxes! 🙂 LOL!!
I think those tax returns you are referring to, were apparently provided to maddow by trumps niece.
Who, is now suing the Trump siblings because of the deception concerning her inheritance.
