Low-wage earners are everywhere in society. They are staffing nursing homes, restaurants, retail stores/ cashiers, they're landscapers, housekeepers in hotels, street cleaners - the list continues. Sad that you have to even ask.

Well this is a little awkward. With the leaked 1995 Trump tax returns 'scandal' focused on the billionaire's yuuge "net operating loss" and how it might have 'legally' enabled him to pay no taxes for years, we now discover none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton utilized a $700,000 "loss" to avoid paying some taxes in 2015.

The Clinton Campaign was quick to jump on the leaked Trump tax filing with Robby Mook tweeting...
Trump's tax loss coincided with the collapse of Atlantic City.
What's Hillary's excuse?

But some people are buying his rhetoric because they want change, and others actually think they can relate to that billionaire with narcissistic personality disorder. Others just hate Clinton so much that they'd rather watch the country burn.

Nothing good will come of this election, except maybe in the downstream races.



I'm not happy with either choice but I do feel the US can survive four years of a Clinton administration. I am convinced a Trump administration would be a total and complete disaster. I would rather patch holes in a leaky ship than watch the whole thing sink to the bottom.

No, it isn't.
Business depends on the ability to carry losses forward.

Only the Hillary hard liners won't face up to it.

That's why they are the loony left. Every one of these self righteous Taxpayers, have never paid more taxes than they could get away with and likely cheated the Government out of tax money by using phony deductions. Actual fraud. They are laughable.
