4. Taxes
Closely tied to the last is the fact that Trump has basically admitted to paying hardly any taxes. I’m a libertarian, so I can respect that. Nothing wrong with avoiding a little theft, am I right? From that standard, Trump not paying taxes may be even a respectable thing. It would be if he was across the board with it.
But that’s not how Trump applies the standard to others, especially undocumented immigrants. He claims that illegal immigrants cost the government $113 billion in tax revenue each year (which is, of course, probably not accurate at all; even with all variables factored in, the math makes no sense). He claims that they get $4.2 billion in tax credits alone. That’s not even counting the accusation that they steal our jobs. (They don’t.)
But what Trump either doesn’t know or doesn’t care to mention is that as much as $11.64 billion is made in revenue from undocumented immigrants.
Long story short: the people Trump derides for not paying taxes pay more taxes than he does.
