7 tweets by Trump about taxes that are very awkward now

[UCmeNdc]

Memories!

A blockbuster New York Times story revealed that Trump probably did not pay federal income taxes for two decades or longer.

Trump’s lawyers threatened to sue the New York Times if they published the story. But now that it’s out neither Trump nor his campaign are denying its premise.

Taxes are a subject Trump weighs in on frequently on Twitter. Now that more is known about Trump’s taxes, these tweets seem ill advised.

Example#1
Trump slammed Obama for paying “only” 20.5% of his income in taxes.

3. Bill Clinton has said repeatedly he willingly pays more cause he has more!

Thus highlighting the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Democrats understand the Common Good, Republicans don't.

6. Yup, what's yours is their's and what's their's will stay their's and grow until the end of time.

Jefferson warned about the corrupting force of concentrated wealth and he was right!

Big money corrupts laws, buys influence, destroys the commons, is driving climate change, perverts the media, stops is from fixing our problems, blamed the wrong people, etc.
