That's not true and I think you know it. While I don't like the fringe media sources, media has collapsed because of the internet. Has nothing to do with the people consuming it and posting on forums like this or FB. There are far too many sources where you can get confirmation of your feelings and bias'. This is for both left or right leaning folks.
I lean right fiscally and because I view certain things on the internet I get pushed to those sites that are on the fringe. What I realize though is to not believe any of it. All media is bullshit and it always has been. Trump is not wrong when he says fake news, he's wrong when he doesn't attribute that statement to ALL news sources which includes places like FOX.
If there was a way to have a non-government controlled media outlet, that didn't rely on $$$$ from advertisers or subscribers, then we'd maybe get a somewhat honest media. That's not possible because.... people like money and it will always control the message that will make the most money. Not much else to it. No different than real estate. Most genuine brokers know it's a con, but what good is it for them to acknowledge that fact?
What you don't realize is that the decay of our journalism and media is the reason gullible folks such as yourself are so wildly misinformed.

No.
Not paying taxes is not receiving free stuff
It's just keeping what you earn. If you think the taxpayers should pay more to support those who don't work, make your case.

Trump does pay property taxes, probably over $38 million per year.
NO one escapes paying tax on their property.
