A new take on Trump's push to eliminate payroll taxes

[avebury]

Trump needs to be asked if the real reason that he wants to eliminate payroll taxes is because that is probably the only "taxes" he pays regularly to the Federal Government. Donald, are you trying to destroy social security and other payroll related taxed because that is the only way you can come up with for refusing to pay yet another federal based tax? This is all to personally benefit yourself, the rest of the nation be damned?

1. Rich people don't need tax cuts n/t

2. That's what I was thinking

When I read that one of his idiots said that he has paid "millions" to the government, I thought, sure, in payroll withholding taxes, which is not HIS income tax. His ignorant base may fall for that, so I hope it's explained to them that it's THEIR money that's withheld from their paychecks.

4. He should also be asked if he collects Social Sevurity.

5. Max payroll tax anyone pays is about $8500

6.2% of $137k this year. Of course it’s more than $750 so it must hurt poor Donnie’s fee-fees to have to pay the evil gubment that much.

6. Doesn't he take no salary for being President? I wonder if this is even true? nt

7. He doesn't need the salary and it serves as a distraction

from what he is really doing. He probably grifts more off of the Federal Government for a single trip to Mar-A-Lago then his annual Presidential salary. Presidential salary is a mere pittance besides what he and his family has taken from the tax payers.
