Bringing up past tax activity by any candidate is like beating a dead horse. If it was done legally because of a loop-hole then note that any savvy business person will take advantage of it, regardless of their political persuasion. Research and see who/what created the loop-hole in the first place. IMO, that would be more telling.

Loophole: That cryptic "area" in which citizens are allowed to live freely, beyond the tentacles of the controlling, money-grabbing government.

"Loop holes" is thrown around like "racist", sexist" and other words.

There is NO such thing as a "loop hole".

The law is the law. Period!

Are people who use the marriage deduction and the mortgage deductions using "loop holes" to avoid paying taxes?

According to some perpetual renters and confirmed singles they are and it's unfair.

If the tax code is broken, then that is what should be fixed!

Maybe you should actually READ it before making claims and making a fool of yourself.

But, then again you DO have the perfect screen name.

That is THEIR problem.

If someone does NOT like a particular section of the tax law, go to their Congressional representatives and get them changed.

Until then, it is just whining.

The problem isn't so much that Trump didn't pay taxes, if he followed the law. It's that he LOST almost a BILLION dollars. His business sense was supposed to compensate for his lack of political experience, but now we know that he's not even a competent business person.

You nailed it.

6 bankruptcies over 20 years

Forced to sell other businesses at a loss

$ billions in losses

Being deposed as Chairman of the Board by shareholders of his publicly -traded company ( Trump Entertainment in 2009)

Far more concerning is the unprecedented conflicts of interest that exist going forward if elected POTUS. He owes $ billions to domestic and foreign banks. He has business interests in the Middle East. Transferring operation to his children does nothing to eliminate the conflicts of interest that will exist.

The Clinton Foundation should have been closed while she was SoS to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest. Instead, donations were solicited from people who might reasonably expect quid pro quo. Can't prove or disprove Pay for Play.

320 million people and we end up with these two on a ballot.

There's a reason why both are trending unfavorable.
