If the question is President Trump’s taxes, the answer is Joe Biden — at least to Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis.
The Taylorville Republican, who is running for re-election, says the former vice president has taken advantage of the tax code to save significant sums.
“That is something most Americans don’t get a chance to do, because they don’t make that money,” Davis said.
If it’s legal for a multi-millionaire or billionaire to legally pay only $750 in federal income taxes — as Trump reportedly has done in recent years — shouldn’t Congress tighten the tax code?
“Those are the things we’re happy to address in Washington,” Davis said. “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.
He added people are kidding themselves if they think Democrats would not do the same thing Republicans are: attempt to quickly ram a nominee through the Senate before the next president takes office.
