    This doesn't even address his Bank of Cypress money laundering...it's only his Deutche bank loans and shady write offs....I imagine Trump has tax shelters far removed from the IRS records and I imagine Clinton has them too.

    Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. If you don’t want to pay taxes, then move the fuck out of America. That said, taxes were never meant to support extravagant lifestyles of rich tax cheats. If Don and family lose enough money annually to avoid paying taxes, they shouldn’t be existing on our dime in the life style to which they have become accustomed......and to which they obviously feel very entitled to.

    My son worked part time at a movie theater last year for 4 months during his freshman year at college. While making minimum wage, he paid roughly $1,200 in taxes....... how could the idea that Trump is doing ANYTHING legally?

    One of the reason I would support a fed flat tax so the elite rich cant jump through loop holes.
    States need to do a better job of accountability as well.

    This is where our federal tax dollars go: (ridiculous defense spending aside, Trump having contributed essentially 0 to this is mildly irritating to me, no matter the legality of his actions).

    she is so conflicted. loves the nationalist/white power immigration policies especially the wall, yet waffles continuously about support for the stable genius. she is likely writing another book that Marazul can get behind.

    Tax laws are setup to penalize people who get income from wages and reward those who get income from investments. especially real estate.

    You've always had to pay interest on honest mistakes if caught within three years or six years if the amount is large. If a small amount is not caught within three years, you are home free. If an honest mistake on a $2 Billion mistake is not caught within six years you are home free. If the $2 Billion dollar mistake is found to be fraudulent then you can be caught a thousand years later and pay a hefty interest charge on top of the $2 Billion principal.
