Yes. We pay more than we MUST pay, because no, we don't take deductions.
As I've already said, we don't NEED to. We are more than very comfortable, the practice turns a good profit, and if we are not floundering, have all we need, and have enough savings for retirement or early retirement, then there is no need to not pay our fair share by "taking advantage of" the laws to get what we don't need.
There's two ways to "scam the system," and both involve going after what you don't need or deserve. My wife and I choose not to do that because we are moral, ethical people.
As to the proof that Trump is taking advantage of every single tax payer who pays fairly by TECHNICALLY legal methods, he appears to have given us that proof. "That makes me smart," which instantly blew up in his face.
We have a statement from the idiot that is his own tacit acknowledgment of him not paying his taxes.
He could turn that around by releasing his tax returns. But he won't - why? The odds are he has something to hide from the American people that would REALLY piss us off.
