How many of you in the US paid $750 income tax in 2018 & 2019?
I for one earn less than $40,000 a yr. & pay over $2,000 per yr. How on earth does the president get away with paying so little? I guess the rich get richer & the poor get poorer huh?

We had no choice but to pay thousands more in each of those years and in years before. Trump is a cheating lowlife in every aspect of his life, including taxes, and he has absolutely no sense of civic responsibility.
Trump obviously won't be pushing for any tax reform changes to correct the inequities in the current system. He apparently can't even honestly abide by the current legal ones. One of his first acts was to push for and obtain even more tax cuts for the rich.

I didn't donate my $400,000.00 annual salary to a bunch of government agencies and charities and so didn't enjoy those deductions .

Because income tax is based on . . . wait for it . . . INCOME
If you lose money one year, you don't pay income tax for that year, no matter how wealthy you are.
It's an income tax, not a wealth tax.
