Trump did not "avoid" taxes - he followed the law and took a loss

[g5000]

The spin on this is just breathtaking.

Speaking of breathtaking spin:

If you lose money.... drumroll....

...you are a loser, by definition. A failure. A dipshit.

Trump lost a billion dollars during an economic boom!

He thinks that makes him smart!

All he can take credit for is having an accountant who correctly filled out a tax return.

 

[g5000]

Trump lost almost a billion dollars on income of a little over three million....

The man is every bit the most successful businessman we have and soon to be
running the country.....

Unfreaking believable.

Trump's investors were wiped out. 401ks, pension funds, all of them.

Plus, middle class taxpayers have to make up the difference for the taxes he dodged.

DUH

 

[AntonToo]

The spin on this is just breathtaking.

If you lose money.... drumroll.... you do not owe taxes... instead you get a WRITE-OFF on future earnings...

Perfectly legal and in no need of "fixing."

Great! Totally sensible explanation and so Trump can go ahead and release his tax-returns....so WHY doesn't he do that like all modern presidential candidates?

Because sensible explanations do not cover what is in his tax returns, and him releasing them will do more damage than biting the bullet and refusing to that's why.

 

[LaDexter]

Trump's tax return is filled with "The Art of the Deal," lots of deals with local pols, mainly Dems, who gave him special treatment to open a hotel here and there....

Syriusly is one of those that respond constantly with "that's racist".

I do to racists who use terms such a 'n*gger l*ver'.

You know- Trump voters like you.

Who used that term?

Sure you do- because to you all I am is a N.L- 'n*gger l*ver'


There is evidence you'll kiss Obama's ass. Pucker up N.L.

Where does that use the words you claimed I used?

Sure you do- because to you all I am is a N.L- 'n*gger l*ver'


As you said to me: There is evidence you'll kiss Obama's ass. Pucker up N.L.

Where did I use the term you claim I used? Do you have the proof or is that the first thing that came to your mind racist.

If you torture the data, it will confess... out of 500 businesses 4 bankruptcies, a failure rate of under 1% (compared to the average of 85%).

What a moron this guy is... no not Trump, the poster. Do you not understand, claiming that Trump, a billionaire, is unsuccessful, is really, really dumb?

 

[Conservative65]

What does that make Obama? He lost near 10 trillion in 7.5 years and gave billions of taxpayer dollars to companies that promptly declared bankruptcy. Trump gambled with HIS OWN MONEY while Obama blew OURS

Hillary Clinton was SoS for 4 years. During that time, $6 BILLION vanished from the State Department. The way I see it that's an average of $1.5 BILLION/year for 4 years.

Since the lefties say losing 1 billion/year makes someone a loser, they have admitted Hillary is. The difference, as you said, is Trump lost his own money while Hillary lost taxpayer's money.

It didn't vanish. She used that money to prop up the terrorists in Libya

LOL....of course....

Difference is Trump lost his money and Hillary lost taxpayer's money.

So you want to give Trump the opportunity to lose taxpayer's money- instead of his own.

Oh wait- he didn't really just lose his own money- he lost his investors money, and the banks money that they loaned him.

Your statement that Trump will lose taxpayer's money is only speculation. There is proof Hillary lost taxpayer money.

Big difference between the money Hillary lost and the money Trump lost based on how that money was gathered in. Can you tell me that difference you stupid motherfucker?

 

[LaDexter]

In the private sector

Trump became a billionaire

Hillary was involved with 100% fraud in everything she did (Whitewater, Castle Grande, cattle futures, Madison S&L)

Actually, if he'd really suffered "a loss," it wouldn't be a big deal, at least to me. But what he did was borrow a big pile of money to buy real estate. And then both because he over paid and the market fell (sound familiar yet?) the income he received from the property wasn't enough to pay the loans.

The lenders could have foreclosed and put him into bankruptcy. But instead they just let him sell the properties for a less than he bought them for ... and give them the proceeds because they got more that way than from bankruptcy. Two Tone Donnie wasn't out any actual money, but he generated a paper loss.

Lots of folks on this board not only kiss obamas ass but suck his dick...constantly.they never disagree with anything he does. He could fuck their wife and they would be proud.....its unreal

Wow you do have a rich sexual fantasy about President Obama.

Please stop sharing your fantasies with us.

Meanwhile- why do you agree with someone calling President Obama a 'n*gger'?

Stating what YOU isn't a fantasy. It's stating reality.

Obama used that word himself.

The sad part with you lefties is that you put more concern into what you say MIGHT happen while ignoring what already did when it comes to those you support.

True, writing off business failures is certainly legal, but all voters may not look at it that way.
There are two ways voters will look at it. Multimillionaires like Trump should pay federal taxes or Trump's huge business losses cast doubts on his superhuman business skills. The latter is more pertinent since his business expertise is the only qualification he has to offer voters. He has no other experience, community service, public service, or military service. He doesn't even have an applicable educational background.

 

[LaDexter]

Trump is responsible for all his employees being employed, and they pay taxes. Trump sold a property at a loss, someone else took a profit and paid taxes on that.

Trump is personally responsible for a whole lot of taxes being paid, whether from him directly or from those he employs or trades with...

Trump did not own or build 500 businesses.

Not even close.

Sorry. Try again.

And at this point, I have serious doubts he is even a billionaire.

He has had 500 businesses...

And whatever, the point still stands, it didn't matter if he had 5 businesses... he's a billionaire in top #300, get over it, loser.

 

[brummelben]

Did he take write offs on future earnings?

We don't know- because Trump doesn't want Americans to see his tax returns.

You have to be a certifiable MORON not to know. He has a TAX LOSS CARRY FORWARD which allows him to not pay taxes until the loss is gone ---- DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



Hillary's wealth is all about SELLING OUT policy and taxpayer money for kick backs. Hillary never created one job, never added anything positive in her life. Her business career was 100% fraud - Whitewater, Castle Grande, and Madison S&L....

What does creating jobs have to do with the office of President? Did you ask McCain how many jobs he created? Did you ask the same of either of the Bush's, so why now is job creation so important

 

[g5000]

Oh, one other thing.

Trump has had more than 4 failures.

Trump Steaks, GoTrump.com, Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump: The Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Ice, the New Jersey Generals, Tour De Trump, Trump on the Ocean, The Trump Network, Trumped! talk radio, Trump New Media.

And, of course, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts.

Just wondering how YOU know for sure that he is a billionaire?
