Alas, Chris Christie, had such promise. Now he's shilling for Trump.

Chris Christie: Bombshell Trump Tax Piece Is Actually Good For His Campaign | Huffington Post

Rudy Giuliani went on ABC's This Week with a "series of gibberish filled lies that were intended to make Trump look smart by stiffing the American people of out paying his fair share of income taxes for decades, but instead showed why Trump is unelectable."

Rudy Giuliani Just Made Donald Trump's Tax Return Problems Even Worse

Both seem to be confusing his personal income tax returns and his business returns. But no matter.

Did anyone see Colbert's impression of Rudy Giuliani as a representative of the Lollypop Guild last week.

I can't find it on YouTube, but if you do, would you post it please. It was priceless.

ok, lets think about this.

The politicians make tax law,
Trump has been audited all the time.
Yet he is still a free man so obviously no wrong doing.
The tax code is used to encourage people to do what the government wants.
Investing in real estate / tax losses even you're land lord uses,

So Trump used the tax code to reduce his taxable income as anyone but you would do right?
If you are paying taxes, according to Trump, you are a chump.

$915 million loss. thats quite a businessman!

Not exactly... NewGM's loss carry forward after bankruptcy, ordained by the Obama dynasty, truly was criminal.

Correction: if you're paying more than legally required you are a chump. And he's 100% correct yet again.

If you take a loss one year, then you are digging out of a hole before you are actually earning income again. Why should anyone have to pay taxes on money that is not really income?

How much can America deduct when Trump causes our country huge losses just as he did with his businesses? Can anyone say..."Hoover?"

Correction: if a businessman loses 1 billion dollars, he is really bad at what he does.

No, because of course if you take a loss of $50k and you're a normal person with a small business and a mortgage, then paying taxes on such a loss would put you out on the street if you aren't there already.

If you're a supposed multi billionaire who's just run three huge businesses into the ground and yet you still live like a small nation dictator for the next 18 years, contribute nothing, rip off people who do work for you - and then have the chutzpah to ask to be elected POTUS so you can make sure you always have these advantages - then yeah, that's different.

Correction: all businesses have years of loss and gains thus making the overall condition of the business impossible to determine based on a single year of tax returns.
