that said, Trump is a billionaire and should be paying much much more in absolute terms than someone like Sanders.

so I'd like to reask the question - it seems that the chart cherry picks years for each one, and that may misrepresent the story. Just because someone paid a large or small percentage in a given year doesnt tell a full story of their tax payments. Often that is tied to their specific tax deduction and loss writeoff strategy.
if you have a more comprehensive data set that will be interesting to review.
please correct me if I am still missing the point of this chart.

I may want to see suporting reciepts for some of those cash deductions for trump and Bernie
I am actually somewhat surprised that such information is available publically, and i am glad that the highly confidential info is grayed out.
whether it's cherry picked or based on only data available, showing only percentages and not absolute $figures in the chart, for such a small sample of years is imho not a good statistically significant way to tell the story who payed the least/most.
by law, Presidents reserve the right of not sharing their tax returns, but most Presidents elected to be transparent.
Honestly though, after seeing the level of detail available online, I would also be a bit uneasy to have the World to see my returns.
that said, I still think Trump should still be transparent and release the returns to show god faith.
