Trump gave 25%, or $38 million of the $150 million he made in 2005, leaving him with $112 million for the year. Nice chunk of change for the goverment, and Trump gets more than his fair share to reinvest wherever he sees fit. If he were taxed at 70% per your suggestion, he'd have gone home with $45 million and Uncle Sam with $105. How is that fair? What incentive would a business even have to make such profits if they knew the goverment was going to take and waste the vast majority of it? Nixon collected all that money, but where did it go? Our debt has been growing exponentially since.
If you can make social policies work with a modest amount of taxation, I'm all for it. But the goal of our goverment should always be to operate at peak efficiency to prevent debt and keep the need for taxation low. Bernie shifting the higher tax brackets by 15% to help fund Medicare for All and subsidize state college education isn't quite as extreme as taxation at 70% and above.
Looks like Trump enjoyed his weekend. Good for him, he deserved some down time.
LOL. The only thing Trump does better than Obama, is golf more......Looks like Trump enjoyed his weekend. Good for him, he deserved some down time.

Still operating under Obamas final fiscal year and budget I beleive
couldnt the same be said for obama then?
Yep.
Funny how that works.
It's like the job numbers when they dropped to 5% under Obama he said "fake news".
He came in & said oh its under 5%? Therefore not fake now.
Clown.
1000 days into his presidency and some idiots were still questioning Obama's birth certificate.
Kinda like emperor trumps tax returns
apologies to jason 73, but trump is the tank abbott of politics. except he can't do alternate dumbell curls with 150 lb dumbells. he does seem to attract a wide variety of dumbells, however. just kidding.

Trumptards getting pwned ITT
He did expose the left for being exactly like the right. And he did expose the right, for being exactly like the left. And he exposed the amount of power the supreme court has, and how weak/lazy congress really is. And we've seen through all this what a joke the FBI, or at least its leadership is, but maybe we can thank Hillary for that. All in all, like you said, entertainment, and very educational.
The tard here is you, I'd never vote for Hillary.
We already did a lot in and since 2016, neat how that data only goes to 2015. But even if, what does that have to do with anything?
Trump gives orders to be more loose on choosing targets, so more civilians die. More people hate you and the West, more terror will come from it. So fuck you, cause you suck.
I'm less concerned with who we tax and the percentage attached to each group than I am with what the government actually does with the money collected.
But does the "take from the rich and give to the poor" philosophy really benefit the less fortunate or does this practice just promote behaviour that keeps them rooted where they are?
