This is a subject most people here can agree on

He is a 1%er who doesn't pay taxes, he doesn't give a fuck about that (wealth redistribution) and he is just being manipulative.

That is possible but his tax plan rose the tax rates on the wealthy. I think people should compromise here even if there are parts of him you dont like.

And how did he raise tax rates on the wealthy?

The new brackets lower the initial rate, so what else has changed that raised the rates?

Ink's taxes rose considerably. Ask him yourself

so you don't know you're just taking the word of someone on the internet because it happens to agree with what you want to believe at the time

Yes, every Republican presidential candidate before Donald Trump was a Republican In Name Only. The lifelong Democrat who broke with traditional Republican thought on major issues is the only real Republican.

Deeeerp.





Ink's taxes might have risen because people in NY/CA don't get a particular break on state taxes anymore. Taxes on the wealthy did not rise. How can you be so uninformed?

well on a small minority of them

Does this chart mean half of the bottom 80-100% pay zero taxes?

no thats the bottom 80-100% of taxpayers. Taxpayers are the top ~half of earners, the bottom 46-49% aren't included on the chart at all because they don't pay taxes
you can think of it as saying that the bottom 0-50% pay no taxes, then the 12.5% from 50-62.5 pay only 0.8% of our tax burden, etc etc
