Does he really?
My Brother In law and WIfe made 12k last year. They paid $1500 in taxes. There are getting back $4500. They collect welfare and food stamps. The bro in law does not work and has not for a year.
I own my own business. I made 78k last year. I paid in 22k in taxes. I am getting back $9560. I get no assistance from the government at all. Now do the math and you will see that his percentage of return is MUCH MORE THAN MINE and that I paid more in TAXES IN ONE YEAR than he made all year long. Explain that one?
Hello and thanks for the comment.
I also own my own business, and the real problem that I see is that the deck is stacked against folks like us who work for themselves. Also at income of $78,000, I don't put you in the rich category. They're the folks who are really making out under this administration. Personally, I don't mind helping people who are in trouble. What I do mind is helping people who hold all the cards and have all the breaks -- and that's not you or me. That's the ultra rich and the big corporations.
