Why, exactly, are Donald Trump's federal income tax returns important to anyone beyond the fact that he has broken no laws?
It's unlikely we'll ever find that Donald Trump has done something illegal with his taxes. Hillary knows that. What is being suggested is that he has done something not legally wrong, but morally wrong by exploiting "loopholes" in order to pay less to the government than he could have, or than he supposedly should have. The revelation has been that he has paid high-priced CPAs and attorneys, who helped him reduce his taxable liability to the very least he is legally required to pay.
If you happen to find such a thing offensive, please review your own tax returns. Do you write anything off when you file your taxes each year? The interest on your home? The cost of childcare? Home office expenses? Mileage on your vehicle? All of those things? Even more to the quick, do you arrange your tax return in such a way that your tax liability is even the slightest bit reduced for any reason whatsoever? Could you have paid more to the government than you were legally required to pay, and if so, are you to be criticized for not having done so?
Of course you could have paid more than you did. And of course you've nothing wrong by not doing so. Only in the unique ideological prism of the leftist political elite and the envious grumblers they carry in tow could it be assumed that you have done something wrong. What you've done is legal and, dare I say, smart.
Trump's taxes aren't the problem, and neither are yours. The real problem is the misguided, bloated, and incompetent government that collects them.
