So many people in this country boast about living in the greatest country on earth. There is a price to pay for living in such a great place and you pay that in taxes which support our law enforcement, military, beautiful public spaces and economic benefits (social security, medicare, etc.) that so many receive. If you think you pay too much in taxes in the USA and you aren't getting good value for your taxes, please stop whining and crying and just move to another country.

Why don't you lefties who demand others to pay more taxes and "pay their fair share" yet won't even volunteer more tax money in their tax returns every year just get the hell out of the U.S. and move to another country that taxes their citizens more money?? You Lefties always want others to pay more yet you won't volunteer more of your own money to the IRS every tax season.

I'm 70 years old. I have never cheated on my taxes and never will. I love my country and I am proud to pay my fair share of taxes for the privilege of living in this country that many of my relatives fought in various wars for my right to live here. I don't really think very highly of tax cheats like Trump. You shouldn't either.

I never said anything about cheating on taxes, not sure why you even mentioned that. So, you pay your taxes due that is great, do you volunteer more of your earned income on your tax returns every year? If not, why is that? Trump is a tax cheat? Where is your evidence of such claim?

Unfortunately a lot of people suffer from TDS and refer to him when they don't have an argument. Sort of like shouting racist. It's a result of cognitive dissonance

Trump Organization was convicted of tax fraud and fined $1.6 million.

Trump tax documents have been released and show evidence of tax fraud.

Trump is a major tax cheat, among many of his other criminal and shady activities.

For a few years, BTS has become an acronym for "Blowing Trump Syndrome." Quite a common affliction.

Part of the GOP demands in order to do their job and increase the debt ceiling is to cut the increased funding to improve the IRS. They would rather we wait forever to get our pittance of a tax refund than have the rich actually pay what they owe (as little as it is now after their big tax giveaways).

Then how is it that about 70% of individual income taxes are paid by the very people who you might classified as "wealthy"? How would you know if they are paying their "fair share"?

Naive to think that is a fair assessment.

A flat tax would theoretically be a lot more fair, but the wealthy are able to duck the personal income amounts they should be declaring.

Talk to Warren Buffet about paying taxes.

Trump organization doesn't mean that it was Trump that violated the law unless he knew it was occurring or was involved. Trump was not named on that conviction and guess who was involved in trying to get Trump, no other that politically motivated Trump hater Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Just saying the other things without evidence is just pure speculation. So why isn't Trump in prison for tax fraud?
