You pay property tax but cheat on your federal taxes by claiming bogus deductions. It doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a criminal.

The one place it hit most middle class people were SALT deductions for people in high tax states.
Trump got around that by claiming his personal residence in New York as an "investment" and deducting ALL the taxes, interest, and upkeep.

Since Trump keeps his financial data close the vest they have to guess. Trump claimed in 2018 to have made a $400 million dollar profit but actually lost $40 million. What is wrong with not paying taxes when you claim to be worth $10 billion? Do I really have to explain that? And if Trump has no idea how much he is worth why does he go around claiming to know?

Trump claims net worth of more than $10 billion in new filing

here's his actual mid-2016 filing that Hill article references

I have no doubt that the Democrats through lots of resources at parsing it then. Perhaps you'd like to now.

It will still be generating revenue for the county a long time after Trump loses it next year or the year after. In Florida, they cannot take your home, but if you have no income, you won't have a lot of options. I can't imagine that it will have the same appeal or ambiance to the monied crowd with Trump at the helm after he is convicted and broke.

The disclosures that noted the following?

“ On financial disclosure forms, Trump has reported holding 14 loans on 12 properties. At least six of those loans, representing about $479 million in debt, are due over the next four years. Some are guaranteed by Trump himself, meaning a creditor could come after his personal—not corporate—assets if he defaults. â€

Further:

“And as the new New York Times investigation makes clear, Trump’s constellation of hotels, resorts, and other properties have struggled in recent years, putting him in a difficult financial position just as his debts come due. His main businesses reported losses of more than $100 million in the early 2010s. He took out a $100 million mortgage on commercial space in Trump Tower, his flagship property, in 2012, and cashed out $316 million in stocks, bonds, and a real estate partnership account between 2012 and 2016, the Times reported. Still, by 2018, the Trump Organization’s cash on hand of $34.7 million was 40 percent less than in 2013.â€

How on earth is anyone not alarmed by this?

Same way I feel now. Violation of trust, privacy and security. What is in the information that is stolen is irrelevant. That it was stolen is. The theft/invasion of privacy/violation of trust is the initiation of force, and all initiations of force are wrong. Period.

I felt then and feel now that everyone involved with wikileaks should have been prosecuted for their initiations of force. That secrets of the government are exposed doesn't excuse what is a clear violation of the Non Aggression Principle.

The NAP defends BOTH sides in a contract, voluntary association, etc. Initiations of force are always wrong. It isn't really complicated.

He's getting ready to pay $100 million to the IRS for an illegitimate $72 million refund. That's openers.
