text: The fact that Trump paid no taxes may not mean that he is cheating; there are all kinds of legal loops that he was probably using with the help of well paid tax lawyers. After the MSM accused him of being a tax cheat no-one bothered to examine all the ways US corporations can legally avoid taxes.. from multi year deferments, to being given thier workers state taxes, to claiming losses... that's why the idea that corporate taxes being lowered in the US should not worry Canada too much; very few of them were paying anywhere near 35%... unless of course that is true here too.. which it well may be.!
