How Do RW Geniuses "Support Our Troops" By Not Paying Taxes?

Where do they think the $ comes from to pay the salaries and healthcare expenses for our troops? Where do they think the $ comes from to buy weapons?

Bake sales?

It comes from federal taxes being collected, motherfuckers, that's where.

Dear media jerks: please ask Trump's surrogates how we would support our troops if no one paid taxes, like the way genius Trump doesn't pay taxes.

And the TV adds would write themselves. Fat old chickenhawks sending young men and women off to die in pointless foreign conflicts while not paying taxes and protecting their own children form going are not patriots - they are war profiteers and worse.

But the symptom of the tax code he and the wealthy...and corporations have bought....and about time to see this issue in the headlines.....many rich people say there is a patriotic duty in paying taxes....they have a social conscience of supporting our govt and the military. Trump has zero humanity....that's the other hidden secret in his taxes....he pays next to nothing in charitable giving....next nothing

They resent a pittance to people who are starving but have no problem with tons spent on military adventures.
