Trump's Taxes

There is much BS being spread concerning Trump's taxes. Allegations he paid little or none for several years. Perhaps they're true. So what?

Do you voluntarily pay money to the government you don't owe? Few will answer "yes." Do you take advantage of every tax loophole you can? Of course you do, or at least you try to.

Does anybody believe the Obama IRS would have allowed Trump to skate, to not pay taxes he owes? Seriously? It's a ludicrous suggestion.

Of course he hires top tax CPAs and attorneys, he'd be stupid not to do so. And yes, they probably do a better job of minimizing his taxes legally than you or I do. The same way his custom-made suits fit him better than my off-the-rack suit fits me. Money matters, as he'd be the first to agree.
