so it is not surprising they paid a decent amount in taxes. Even Romney managed to have a decent rate of paying taxes for the one or two that he released.

Romney I think paid around 10-11%, which is what I understand most people whose income is long-term investment income pay.

The only thing Trump loves about this country is apparently how easy it is to ripoff. Well, if you are in a position of power.

Edit: I am already seeing Trumpers around the internet making excuses. Saying taxes are a scam, smart business, etc. Those fucking assholes are gone, man. GONE!

If Obama or anyone else did anything like this they would be climbing the fucking walls. I know it, you know it, and they certainly know it.

Fuck em!
