Trump's Taxes

[jaybird_1981]

If your reasoning is sound it's either the Religious aspect of supreme court appointees or it's a pure partisan vote where one poster pointed out it's the "other brand" of Trump .

Are you talking about abortion? I don't think the supreme court will ever overturn that no matter who they put on it so no not that. I just didn't want Hillary making those picks.

I will never understand the thought process behind feeling we as a society have the right to someone else's income.

You are also looking at his business taxes here, not his personal.

Salaries were taken.

And others will never understand how people can be duped into believing that a habitual liar with more law suits and bankruptcies than you can shake a stick at is going to use that experience to be a fiscally responsible steward of their money.

It isn't just "someone else's income", his income is the foundation on which his whole persona sits.

If Trump is legally using the tax code to his advantage to avoid tax liability despite making the billions he says he has, that's fine. If that is case, its an indictment of our tax system.

It’s really that simple

 

[McDad]

That would be a real turn of events

Bob?

It is the same "thought process" which Trump used to be critical of Obama in 2012.

ARe you saying you agree with Trump?

Not sure a flowbee would work with a bald fade, bruh...

amateur! You can use a Flowbee on any style needed.

What on gods green earth makes you think there are other banks out there willing to do business with him?

Because I'm not stupid and real-estate appreciates.

Many jobs that deal with money require a look at the person's finances. Why shouldn't that be the case for a potus? Lots of temptations out there for a person with that much power

They did look at his taxes. Just not the way people on the left want.

Yes. It is a national security issue.

Hold on
There’s a fiscally responsible option?

No,
As you were

 

[hog88]

And people wonder why he has refuse to release his returns.

Wanna guess how many famous businessmen went bankrupt sometime in their life?

Its high.

I'm saying Trump is a hypocrite with no sense of self-awareness.

 

[DynaLo]

It’s humorous that so many on the left can’t seem to understand that Trump got votes simply because 1) he ran against Horrible Hillary and/or 2) he causes an absolutely remarkable mental meltdown on the left.

Substitute Kamala & Creepy Joe in part 1 and the statement stands for this election as well.

I do think that we do need to know what his business interests are. I'm not worried as much about how much he owes or makes but knowing whether or not little known provisions in the 2017 Tax Reform Act greatly benefitted him or not.

The stuff about the $70K hair is just a NYT hitpiece that has little meaning without the appropriate context and veers far away from responsible journalism

 

[NEO]

By the way....if we are gonna be technical in this thread.... Trump has never filed for bankruptcy.

 

[Septic]

Well, given the issue at hand - it can be certain they weren't taxed into bankruptcy.

 

[Mick]

Because I'm not stupid and real-estate appreciates.

So you think the owner of his debt would sell it rather than collect that piece of real-estate.

Why must WE?


The IRS does.

 

[BreatheUT]

Lol @ this issue. The left with another "here's the big one". This should be the boost that Joe needs for tomorrow.

 

[utvolpj]

Why must WE?


The IRS does.

Because it's our money and office?

Abbott and Costello were.....


But I digress.

If he owes $400mil on property valued at a billion or more, yeah bankers will be lining up to refinance that debt.

 

[NEO]

Because it's our money and office?

No. It's the government's money.

If it were our money then we would have check writing authority.

And the government knows.

Let's say Joe gets elected and he has some unknown business interest in Ukraine that pays him $5MM a year (For purposes of this example, Joe has never disclosed his tax returns). Let's say Joe passes tax reform and one of the provisions of that tax reform is certain types of income from Ukraine can be excluded from US tax. Would have you wanted to know about Joe's interest in this Ukraine business? Do you think our Senators who vote on this bill should know about it?

I'm sorry that theory didn't save his casinos.
