The fake Mexican, real pendejo Robert O’Rourke, aka “Beto” didn’t pay his fair share in taxes either. He campaigns like Comrade Bernie Sanders about jacking up taxes on the middle class, but like Sanders, he doesn’t pay his fair share. In fact, O’Rourke, illegally unpaid his taxes in 2013 and 2014. Funny how that always works out isn’t it? The communist Democrat whine about jacking up taxes but never pay their own fair share. In fact, in 2012 O’Rourke paid an effective tax rate of 4%. O’rourke wasn’t very charitable either.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke and his wife appear to have underpaid their taxes in 2013 and 2014 because they improperly claimed the deduction for medical expenses, according to tax returns the former Texas congressman released on Monday.
In those two years, O’Rourke and his wife, Amy, reported a total of $15,718 in medical expense deductions. However, at the time, people under 65 could only take the deduction if their medical expenses exceeded 10 percent of their adjusted gross income, and the O’Rourkes’ expenses didn’t exceed that threshold.
On their 2013 and 2014 returns, boxes where taxpayers were supposed to have put down 10 percent of their adjusted gross income were left blank. A paid preparer whose name was redacted in the returns prepared the O’Rourkes’ taxes in those years.
The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the issue, noted that the error means that the O’Rourkes appeared to have underpaid their taxes by a total of more than $4,000 in those two years.
