SPRINGFIELD – If the question is President Trump’s taxes, the answer is Joe Biden.
“(Former) Vice President Biden decided to form S corporations to lower his taxable income” from millions to $600,000, says U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville. “That is something most Americans don’t get a chance to do, because they don’t make that money.”
If it’s legal for a multi-millionaire or billionaire to legally pay only $750 in federal income taxes, as Trump reportedly has done, shouldn’t Congress tighten the tax code?
“Those are the things we’re happy to address in Washington,” Davis answered, “but the bottom line is the Democrats want to actually give the ultra-wealthy more advantages by putting some of the loopholes back into the tax code that we took out just a few short years ago.”
On another topic, Davis professed to be simply a spectator to the Supreme Court nomination and confirmation process, but added you are kidding yourself if you think Democrats would not do the same thing Republicans are: attempt to quickly ram a nominee through before Election Day.
