"Only the little people pay taxes" [View all]
Trump belongs on this list of tax cheats .... in fact he is so much like Leona Helmsley he should be known as "The King of Mean". He is hiding something by not releasing his tax returns. The question is; did he pay anything in taxes all these years? He brags about paying as little taxes as possible so the rest of us, "little people", have to cover it for him. He is a miser with a capital "M".
Leona Helmsely died in 2007 at age 87, and some people may not know of her past prominence. In her heyday, she was as big as Donald Trump or Kim Kardashian. And she was colorful too. A billionaire, she was convicted of tax fraud that started with small and obvious acts of evasion. She had a harsh persona too, earning her the nickname the “Queen of Mean.”
During her tax evasion trial, a former employee testified that Helmsley said: “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.” By “we”, she meant not only herself but her husband, New York tycoon Harry Helmsley. ‘Only little people pay taxes’ became America’s version of ‘let them eat cake.’
