#1 I don't care about Trump's taxes. What he has done is what we all do--try to keep as much of our hard earned money as we can.

I am more concerned that we get someone in office who is willing to try to save the Republic before it is stolen/destroyed by leftists; otherwise tear it down and start over.

#2 Every penny kept from the federal behemoth is private property conserved and saved.

Or spent on guns and ammo.

#3 As I explained to my wife. Trump was merely following both the letter and intent of the law passed by lawmakers like Hillary Clinton.

If you have a problem with the result, blame the lawmakers.

#4 If DJT had not paid taxes due to the Feds, he would have been required to answer to a "Higher Power" regarding. Have seen no evidence of this.

The Buffett ("Progressive") BS about "fair share" derives from Buffett's aggressive use of the tax code (sound familiar?) as well as how he structures his incomes. His squawking about his secretary being in a higher bracket than he could be addressed by either (1) Re-structuring his businesses and how they derive income (riiiiiiiight); or (2) Stapling a contribution check to his 1040 with directions to apply it to the general fund or whatever (ditto). Effing hypocrite.

#6 I'm shocked nobody (Trump/Johnson) is using the Trump taxes issue as a teaching moment to push a flat tax or something.

Why 'raise taxes on the wealthy' when the wealthy know all the loopholes and pay well to keep those loopholes open.

#7 Excepting real estate, no wealth (as opposed to income) tax has ever worked well.

The reason you can tax real estate wealth, is you can't move real estate somewhere else.
