The NY Times and Trump’s Taxes

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

         PERHAPS YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT THE NEW YORK TIMES HIT PIECE ON PRESIDENT TRUMP PAYING ONLY $720 IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES THE LAST FEW YEARS.

         THE LEAKING OF PRIVATE TAX INFORMATION IS A CRIME, BUT DON’T EXPECCT THIS ONCE GREAT NEWSPAPER TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH AUTHORITIES. IT PROMISES MORE TO COME.

         THIS IS PART OF A LIBERAL CAMPAIGN THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS TO DESTROY THE PRESIDENT. WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT, IT’S A FACT.

         THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN QUICKLY RELEASED A TV POLITICAL AD COMPARING WHAT THE PRESIDENT ALLEGEDLY PAID AND WHAT BLUE COLLAR WORKERS PAY. DID THEY KNOW THIS SO-CALLED STORY WAS COMING?

         I DOUBT THIS WILL HAVE MUCH EFFECT. AS A DEMOCRAT FRIEND OF MINE SAYS MOST AMERICANS HATE THE IRS. U.S. TAX LAWS ARE LIKE A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. IT IS WHY THEY HIRE ACCOUNTANTS AND TAX LAWYERS TO HELP THEM FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS A DISGRACE THAT AMERICANS HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS PROCESS EVERY YEAR. A FLAT OR FAIR TAX IS THE ANSWER, BUT POLITICIANS DOLE OUT BREAKS TO THEIR CONTRIBUTORS SO THAT IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
