Trumpism of the Day: “50% of people do not pay tax!”

Including the Donald!


New York Times detonated a bombshell by reporting that Donald Trump used a loophole to pay no taxes, Trump’s former accountant: said “Here the guy was building incredible net worth and not paying tax on it.”

The Trump campaign released a statement blasting the newspaper, calling Hillary Clinton more crooked than Richard Nixon, and claiming Trump “has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes, along with very substantial charitable contributions.”

However, back on July 18, 2011, Trump appeared on Fox News,  When he  was asked about President Barack Obama’s comments that well-to-do Americans should make a sacrifice for the country by paying more in taxes. He replied:

Well, I don’t mind sacrificing for the country to be honest with you. But you know, you do have a problem because half of the people don’t pay any tax. And when he’s talking about that he’s talking about people that aren’t also working, that are not contributing to this society. And it’s a problem. But we have 50 percent. It just hit the 50 percent mark. Fifty percent of the people are paying no tax.
