Trump brags about not paying taxes: 'That makes me smart'

To be fair though, businesses, corporations and people who can afford it, pay very expensive lawyers and accountants to game the system to pay as little to no taxes at all. Im pretty sure I can think of a few businesses in the news recently who do the same and we all buy products from.

People seem to hate the player more than the game. When the fact is he's basically doing what every big company or wealthy person would do or already does.

The difference here is that Trump is just taking advantage of a rigged system. He's even quite open about that fact. He uses the laws and rules set in place by politicians, to the advantage of his businesses and self. It's not political. It's business. And maybe a little greedy. Of course.

Hillary on the other hand is not only part of the game, she contributed to it, and is a player as well. From 'Pay to Play' at the State Department and her Foundation, to selling seats in the government to large donors. So while Trunp is playing the game to benefit his business, and his self, i dont see how that is even comparable to someone who is selling political influence within the government for personal gain, where a large donation or speaking fee will grant you access and influence.
