Unpaid Taxes Cost The U.S. $1 Trillion A Year | The Last Word | MSNBC
Friendly reminder that despite being a so-called “billionaire,” t’rump paid only $750 in taxes.
But maga cult….keep paying that 22% federal tax rate! 😂🤣
That wasnt how much he paid. Imagine falling for a false headline….

@L D it’s a baby account…lots of noise.
Collect it from Donald Trump first then just maybe more truth will come out.
he should be one of the first they go after. he changed the system so he could cheat and not pay taxes in the first place. Orange bish lost , so now hes not protected anymore 🙂
Well they better haul AL not so Sharpton into Jail he owes some big MONEY $$$$
Chad knows nothing
Scientology anyone?
If only Trump supporters would understand that they are paying the taxes he and his friends avoid. Then they send him more money to support his campaigns, which he pockets for other purposes using the fine print hidden on his web site.
So sad for the poor.
People like. Trump may it. Be bank s etc… good. Us .okay.
Raid the tax havens!!… Panama Antigua The British Virgin Islands The Bahamas Jersey Guernsey Aldernay Sark The Cayman Islands Bermuda United Arab Emirates Singapore Hong Kong…Raid them all raid them now!!
Time to stop auditing the poor and go check the ultra rich’s math.😏
I have a huge issue with inheritance tax. People spend their lives working and slaving paying taxes their entire life and manage to put some of their after tax money away for their retirement. If they pass with anything left, government should have no right to people’s post tax income. You took your pound of flesh throughout someone’s life.
Close loopholes and tax breaks on the wealthiest WHILE they’re alive.
Inheritance tax is quite easy to explain. If I have been collecting taxes and I believe I have rules that constrain wealth, it makes sense to check whether my math actually worked. That is the inheritance tax. Should we tax wealth annually? No, but we most assuredly better be checking our math at the end. Btw, why would I constrain wealth? I constrain wealth because the federal government has to pay to maintain a money supply that is useless to the country, which means the taxes that were being collected were from the wrong people, because I have harmed someone’s living standard.
The rich will not pay, the poor can’t pay, same story on and on again.
If we only had a large government agency in charge of collecting taxes…
Most people use the standard deduction the elites literally have their own tax system
This just makes my blood boil
In the early 1960s the tax codes were much simpler, and the IRS was much more feared in their diligent pursuit of tax cheats. There were long lines at special Post Offices that could stamp that returns actually made it in on time. One of the simplest forms looked like a long post card, and you could usually avoid audits by using it.
As in, Back when Merica was Great Again? I say, bring THAT IRS back and Quadruple the resources of the IRS. Then, go after the Riches like a rabid pit bull. Even the Republicans say as one of their talking points, “We don’t NEED to raise taxes, we just need to enforce the tax laws already on the books!”
Well, Let’s go. We have their blessing!
How about collected trump unpaid taxes. We know his taxes are not collected?
I’m a college grad and what year I made a mistake on my tax filing and I was audited for years in a row after that in two of those situations oh, the IRS made a mistake and requested $20,000 from me in time. I had to push back on them and show them where they made a mistake. And I’m not wealthy and I have student debt.
We should Quadruple the resources of the IRS. Then, go after the Riches like a rabid pit bull. Even the Republicans said, as one of their talking points, “We don’t NEED to raise taxes, we just need to enforce the tax laws already on the books!”
Well, Let’s go. We have their blessing!
unfortunaly
