    How did the tax breaks and loopholes get there so a "billionaire" doesn't pay any income tax but someone making $60,000 a year does?

    Then close them, change the tax code. I didn't say it was fair but I'm not going to blame somebody from using them if they're legal.

    Maybe he's not using legal loopholes.

    Anyone who is criticizes Trump for using loopholes should never claim any exemptions or deductions on their taxes.

    In the interest of fairness I don't take the interest deduction on my mortgage.

    True, but there's a pretty broad sentiment 'round here that if Person X followed the tax code and wound up paying less than seems "fair," that means Person X isn't doing enough to guarantee a civil society and should move to Somalia.

    Especially those whose criticizes correct grammar.

    Probably because your standard deduction is larger and your tax liability is smaller as a result. You fucking tax cheat.

    Taxes is one thing, but Trump seems to think "smart business" includes screwing anyone he can get away with screwing.
