Trump paid about $750 in taxes in 2016 while still claiming to be a billionaire. I wouldn't consider it a fair share, but would that $750 entitle him to a vote

Trump paid about $750 in taxes in 2016 while still claiming to be a billionaire. I wouldn't consider it a fair share, but would that $750 entitle him to a vote under this plan?

Not taking this into account is like asking "you're millionaire, yet you don't have any income, how come?" to a retiree. According to the new york times article that broke this story, most of it seems to be from his loss making businesses elsewhere. Moreover in recent years he has been paying tax, as those losses have stopped. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-tru...
- fhdkweig 2mo agoIt is legal, but is it "fair"? And should someone who doesn't pay a fair share be entitled to a vote? Is the fairness important?
