So if you're accusing me of not being able to vote Democrat or Republican you should take a look in the mirror.
I have nothing to do with your vote, that is your responsibility. A lot of Republicans don't like Obama so you agree with the party you support.

It doesn't matter what anybody does with their taxes as long is it's within the laws. You would actually be pretty stupid NOT to take advantage of any legal deductions.

Most big companies and/or public figures know they will be audited. They have to file 10Q and 10K reports which usually are public. Nobody wants to intentionally hang themselves out to dry by doing something illegal.

Think about it. What possible advantage would Trump, already a billionaire, have by cheating on his taxes?

All this tax nonsense is just that ... nonsense. Give it up already.

Remember that when seniors are told there will be no COLA increase and their Medicare is being replaced with vouchers/coupons toward a purchased policy. No taxes=no money. I don't care, I'm not a senior.

When Bill Clinton was president I was in medical and cardiac ICU, Hillary was pushing Hillarycare. After that, patient care became insurance centric instead of patient centric. No that didn't sit too well because when people are sick the patient should be the focus, not insurance companies.

I liked Trump but wasn't sure I would like him as a president so I waited and listened to both sides. Hilary hid out in the beginning, she wouldn't take Q & A's from the media. But when she said she would continue with Obama's policies, and mostly when she said she was going to make the rich pay their fair share by raising taxes "on income", when the media was saying things that I knew was not true that did it for me so I may have had to sit this one out but as I listened to Trump, I liked his ideas. I've been lower middle class, and climbed out of that rat race and Trump is saying things that I experience and had to do to climb out of the rat race.

Trump makes sense to me. Hillary is only about attacking Trump and saying what benefits her at the time to get elected

Plus Trump thinks his daughter is really hot.

Hillary was very brave to take on proposing health care for the country in 1992. Not a lot of people realize what she took on there and she knew more about it than anyone. Republicans have never cared about health care and Paul Ryan would end Medicare tomorrow if you could.

Okay, but ..... how do you equate seniors on Medicare to Donald Trumps' taxes?

Businesses fail all the time, at least Trump KNOWS HOW to rebuild.

Geez, Hillary supporters don't know the first thing about taxes and running a business so they need jobs yet there they are like a bunch of clucking chickens p*ssing on a man who creates jobs.
But I say she does know about "running a business" = "her illegal political/foundation businesses" costing others blood and money.

And taxes - well she's Hillary Clinton she makes her own laws.

^^ and see how the left is fighting this. I worked in healthcare and I know how her push for Hillarycare effected patient care (in a bad way). Patient care should focus on the sick people, not the insurance company.

You're giving Hillary credit for trying but not for results.

Donald Trump’s tax plan now favors the ultra-rich even more

"The first independent analysis of Donald Trump's revamped tax plan is finally out, and it confirms what appeared to be true when the Republican presidential nominee gave his big tax speech last week: Trump's "yuge" tax cuts have shrunk dramatically, particularly for the middle class, and they now skew even more to helping the highest-earning Americans."

There will be less revenue to pay for entitlements, plain and simple. When he says he will reduce taxes he means for himself and we already know he doesn't pay, he admitted as much.

- Few seniors have actually paid for their Medicare benefits. According to an Urban Institute estimate, the typical retired couple paid $122,000 in lifetime Medicare taxes but can expect to receive benefits worth $387,000.

Seniors very much depend on working Americans and our taxes money for their survival.
