OK, never mind, then.

The important reason for America to see Trump's return is to close the loopholes that allow billionaires to become billionaires without generating taxable income.

The rich don't get rich by giving their money away, they consult with professionals and practice tax proficiency. You'll never get rich if you give your money away, ie.. don't learn how to handle money and learn at least the basics about taxes. I don't mind paying taxes if they are reasonable, but no one in their right mind pays more than is legally required.

These liberals are making fools of you.

I doubt ANY of the ultra-rich Ruling Class pay any net taxes. Otherwise, they wouldn't have 99.99% of the money, and an increasing percentage every day.

Does the average citizen not realize that over 90% of of Big Government's funding comes from payroll and wage income taxes--taxes that ONLY touch people working for a living? A national sales tax would be much more "fair," but if one is ever implemented, it will only be ADDED to the massive taxes that have empoverished the working class (and it will manage to exempt the ultra-rich Ruling Class anyway).

Yep, knowledge is power, ignorance is defeat. They want to keep the people ignorant.

Liberal logic dictates that people pay more taxes than required...it makes one more 'Merican.

Anyone that's ever owned a business knows you can carry a loss forward to future tax years.

There's not a single thing wrong or unethical about it. The only thing possibly wrong is if you overstated the loss you carry forward. But if he's been audited as many times as he says, they would have nailed him for that already.
