NYT article details Trump's tax obligations under the current tax code. He followed the laws.
Nothing shows Trump being a "tax dodger".
Don't like the system? Fine. Support changes to the tax code.
It's disingenuous to label someone who follows the tax code as it its written as a tax dodger.
How many zillion times must you folks be told that you need to read the document that you are posting about? Just read the one sentence if reading is so difficult for you:
He has reduced his tax bill with questionable measures, including a $72.9 million tax refund that is the subject of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump's been selling a myth - himself as "The Art of the Deal" when the truth is, the emperor has no clothes. Is he actually broke? Was he billing millions to Secret Service at our expense because he's broke?
Here's Trump - the guy who paid a total of $750 (no 'k' - just $750!] over two years (2016 and 2017) - attacking President Obama for paying 'only' 20.5% [ie, $161+k] on his $790k salary.
" The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades. It tells a story fundamentally different from the one he’s sold to the public.
Mr. Trump’s finances are under stress, beset by hundreds of millions in debt coming due and an I.R.S. audit that could cost him over $100 million.
He paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, and nothing at all in 10 of the prior 15 years — largely because he lost so much money."
No problem. Trump just needs to declare bankruptcy again. Since current lenders didn't learn anything after Trump's other bankruptcies, that's their stupid problem.
I don't think any of this was about proving Trump committed tax fraud. As has been well known, Trump has been audited...they never found anything.
It was ALWAYS about showing his truth wealth...not what he wants people to think.
And to show that Trump is one of those guys dodging the tax bullet.
Of course it could be legal -- but as many have pointed out -- it isn't right.
When the Mob was laundering money, they probably didn't put it in their tax returns. Tax returns can really only show us so much on that end of things.
Jeff Besos made 100 million last year and paid 8k in taxes
Trumps net worth according to Forbes is 2.5 billion
This...like Russian Collusion, Kids in Cages, The fake impeachment etc etc...is really nothing. Dems will appeal to their low IQ base and call this a “scandal” because the NYTs told them too...they’ll try to keep this in the headlines by SWEARING there’s more to it....until Barrett officially takes the bench and dominates the news again
Kids in cages is "nothing" to you? --- I hope you don't have kids.
