Many people are upset that apparently Overlord President Trump does not pay much income tax according to a recently released report by the NY Times.
Setting aside the insane breach of privacy committed by the (generally awful) Times, they and all whiners are missing the point: Trump’s taxes are not the problem. The tax system in general and the fact that all of us are subjected to oppressive tax laws is the problem.
Trump seems to be playing by the rules set forth by previous oppressors, and perhaps even stretching them out a bit, as virtually every millionaire (and politician) does.
Who cares?! Why are these vocal critics not asking the pithy question: why do any “free” human beings have to unwillingly give away so much of the fruits of their labor? What is “free” about that?
