Trump said on the debate he doesn't pay income tax because "he's smart". Is he calling those of us - we, the people - dumb for paying our Federal income tax? Sure sounded like it.

ercentages do not tell the story.
Wealthy are not taxed on wages as the average tax payer is.
They are taxed in different ways depending on the assets involved and the gains or losses of each.
So a lower percentage that yields hundreds of thousands of dollars taxes paid VS a 3 or 4 figure payment is the real story.
Of it does not play as well as the percentage fable.
How many of you do not go to great lengths each year to pay as little taxes as possible?
Who pays what % taxes is such a political BS story for the uninformed to parrot!!
