Governor File #1: Governors will pay their fair share of taxes, and not exploit every loophole they can find to worm out of it.
Governor File #2: Governors will lead by example and not ask citizens to do or pay anything they wouldn’t pay.
Governor File #3: Governors earning $190,000 a year despite any charitable contributions they may have made, will agree to at least pay 10% in income tax to the people of the state that elected them.
Then its safe to say that you have never taken advantage of any tax breaks or loopholes as you mentioned?
Thats the point I will pay my full share on 30,000 and he should pay full share on 190,000. Laws need to change if you can wiggle taxes on that amount down to $52 the system is broke!
