    $70,000 in one year to “style his hair”

    This is not a joke.

    I’d love to know how he paid $750 two years in a row. My husband

    and I pay more than that living on his SS, Pension, and starting last

    month my SS. He has great pension and SS but we’re not rich

    and we pay more? Make it make sense.

    Right? Just say you don't know how it works instead of griping about it.

    For example this year you can depreciate a work vehicle 100% in one year as a deduction.

    I was not aware of it, so i didn't take advantage.

    That is my fault, not the tax codes. So you won't see me tweeting about how it doesn't make sense.

    Well, I think people have a right to complain about the tax code. It's impossibly complicated and for very good reason... It helps the rich and it hurts the non rich.

    Trump even called this out in a debate against Hilary. Told her she would never change it because it would hurt her rich donors.

    Pretty profound.

    Yes. The opacity of the tax code is there mainly to benefit the rich and powerful. Once upon a time (Reagan's second term) there was a successful bipartisan effort to reform and simplify the tax code. Time for another push.

    who complained about the tax code ---

    I merely pointed out sturg voted for a tax fraud
    because he gave him a $4000 tax credit (not to dismiss-
    while giving a patronizing wink and a nod to racism and
    the "pro" life faction of (R).)

    Big difference between someone that can make the tax code work for them
    and someone caught cheating.

    Big difference

    So many people in the comments don't understand the issue:

    The IRS doesn't need a president to "release" their taxes for the

    mandatory audit. The IRS already has the tax returns. The issue is that

    Trump seems to have ordered the IRS to skip the audit while

    he was president.

    The releasing of the taxes to the public is a courtesy to the voters. Not (yet) mandatory

    If memory serves Trump did promise a time or two that he would release them to the public
    but used the "audit" as an excuse.
    Alas, he not only was, as suspected, never going to voluntarily release the returns to the public as promised, but rigged the system to avoid the audit
    He lied about

    that's y'alls boy

    Actually you posted a tweet from some lady not understanding why he paid what he paid, and demanded to make sense of it

    That you or her do not understand the tax code is not surprising but I wouldn't flaunt my ignorance if I were you

    She can hire an accountant to go through the tax returns of a stranger and make sense of it. I do not care at all and thus won't invest the time to look at it
