TRUMP THE TAX-DODGER OR TRUMP THE TAX-EVADER?

You can find tweets like this from the alt-right/Trumpers:


They try to paint Trump as someone who paid all his tax dues, and compare Trump's payments to those of Obama and even Sanders.

But according to the following website Tax Brackets Trump should have paid 35% not 25%.

Which suggests that Trump's accountants are not the smartest if other billionaires were paying 20%.

You have to know how much income a person declared, and in what year, in order to make any meaningful comparison.

Otherwise it is yet more rightist propaganda.

Trump paid 10% less tax than he should have paid.

That is all we can say.
