Im convinced that tax returns..

Post by _subgenius »

..do not reveal enough:
Joe Biden paid $92,198 in federal taxes in 2016 and $3,742,974 in federal taxes in 2017, according to income tax returns.

So yeah, spin the reality that Biden’s tax attorney isnt as good as Trump’s, but that is not the meaningful takeaway.


that's a crazy jump in tax liability and income for a guy who just lost his job as VP. In 2016 Bidens almost had $400k in income....in 2018 Bidens had $4.5m in income.
Wow! what did Joe and Jill accomplish after leaving the White House?

Is your point that since Joe Biden earns money and pay taxes while Trump does neither of those things, we should trust Trump and not Biden?

If Trump loses the election, he is floating the likelihood of fleeing to Russia to escape prosecution for financial misdealings.

Most people with brains understand that he made millions in speaking fees and book deals, hence the jump in income/tax burden.

Move along, nothing to see here.
