By Samantha in News On 30th September 2020

As reported by the New York Times, President Donald Trump paid only 750$ income tax in 2016 and paid entirely nothing for 10 out of the 15 years as analyzed by the newspaper. Naturally, the President has called the news 'fake story.' The news of Trump paying such little amount came as a shocking one for many people and angry people took to Twitter to share how they have been paying so much money for all these years. Here are tweets of people who shared how much amount they paid for taxes all these years and while doing what jobs they paid.

As an undocumented immigrant, I can now say that I've paid more in taxes than the President. According to NYT, @realDonaldTrump paid only "$750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency."

Meanwhile, I paid $1,559.85 in *quarterly taxes* for Q4 '19.#TrumpTaxReturns pic.twitter.com/6D3m9qPhK0

I run a small business that has never made more than six figures annually.

Trump paid $750 in taxes in 2017. That year, I paid 225 times that.

I am revolted. https://t.co/0tZRbBW8Ot

As someone who takes about $17,000 or so a year after taxes, I have paid more in taxes this YEAR (and more taxes will be paid this year) than Trump did in 2016 and 2017. I live paycheck to paycheck while he lives a lavish lifestyle so yeah. Trump can continue to kiss my ass.

He paid $750 in taxes. Seven hundred fifty dollars. I’m a single teacher. One income. At least four times that. I want to vomit.

My son has worked in the grocery store since he was 16. He worked during the pandemic once they started following acceptable procedures. As a college student, he works during breaks. He pays more federal income tax than Donald Trump.

I own a business. I paid waaaay more than $750.00 in taxes. You know why? I didn’t try to deduct 70,000 for haircuts. I didn’t borrow so much money I was in staggering debt and because wait for it - my business was successful so I owed taxes. #TrumpIsBroke ##DonTheCon pic.twitter.com/CQ7T1Ukfvd

I only get to write off $250 for school supplies on my taxes when I easily spend $1,000+ every year and the president only paid $750. Excuse the language but that’s some bullshit. #TrumpTaxes

I paid more than $750 in annual taxes when I was broke and could barely afford rent.

The phrase "socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else" really needs to catch on.
