2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere are Donald's two "best" lines of the night (for US):
Re: Not paying federal income taxes: "That's called good business." (Right, when all the rest of us are paying our taxes.)
Repeatedly: "She does not have the stamina." (He just totally pissed off every moderate - including moderate Republican - swing voter woman in the entire country. Not to mention all the liberal women already in Hillary's column who will now be donating anything they can to make sure Herr Trumpenstein never gets near the White House.)

It was just another despicable line in a long list of despicable lines for Trump, but there was a collective national gasp.

(257 posts)great with a high standard of living. Our taxes pay for schools, healthcare, military benefits, and yes..even all those subsidies that big business gets. And don't forget FEMA and Homeland Security.
We should be proud to pay taxes and grateful we earn enough money to have to pay taxes. Our roads, bridges, public buildings and all are paid for with taxes...paying taxes is a highly patriotic thing to do. Now no one should want to pay more taxes than necessary but everyone should pay their fair share of taxes.
And someone needs to explain where most of our taxes are going: to the RED states! So Donald says the taxes are being wasted. He must hate the red states. Wonder how they feel about those "wasted taxes?"
