^^^Highly doubtful. Actually that is a fake defense.

The NYT article was a highly revealing bit of news about a fake businessman, however.

Would a real billionaire care if they had to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions in taxes? That would be chump change in comparison. The only reason to start getting that frugal is because you are worried about it.

Surely the NYTimes knows this and they're being disingenuous, or they're counting on low intelligence readers to not understand
Bezos is not the President of the United States

So shut up and pay them already.


But don't get all misty eyed hissy fits over those of us who don't think they should pay high taxes are smart enough to figure out how not to.


And BTW..... just a little clue for you:

INCOME is taxed differently from WEALTH..


When you figure out the difference between the two, maybe that vein in your temple will stop throbbing.
We all knew trump never worked. No new revelation there.

The "Steele Dossier" turned out to be foreign propaganda bought and paid for by the Democrats, and produced nothing.

"Your USSC nomination is a drunk and a sexual predator" ran out of accusers and facts before Kavanaugh even took the stands, and he rubbed their noses in it.

And now... the Democrats finally steal a copy of Trump's tax returns, only to find that, even after continuous audits for 17 or more years, the IRS finds he's more honest and law-abiding than the Dems themselves are.

Liberals, may I make a suggestion? Maybe you folks should take up Tic-tac-toe. It's hard to screw that up as much as you've screwed up everything else you've tried.
Maybe Trump should take it up, as he has screwed up all his businesses ( bankrupt & lawsuits), & is still being investigated for tax frauds. Not my idea of a successful man.

Post proof that it's real taxes. Oh ye they didn't post any evidence that it's real. So until and unless they do, it's fake news. They have been caught many times posting fake news.

I know he did increase taxes for some people, because I'm not even able to itemize anymore. I don't get any sizeable deductions now, and I used to get pages of them; as a top 2%'er who owned multiple properties, and a business.

Also, Trump increased the tax revenues flowing in to the federal gov't for his first 3 years in office...so he did increase taxes, and also repatriated $1T from offshore that he collected taxes upon (at a reduced rate to incentivize them to do so).

All of this just makes me want to vote for Trump even more. MAGA KAGA
You would 100% not care if he broke any laws. This goes for all Trump supporters.

Trump is suppose to be the Savior of the Blue-Collar working man. Yet NEVER Held a Blue-Collar job in his life.

No, if you had to lose many millions of dollars on the way to paying no taxes every year, that sure isn't smart. If you can't run your businesses successfully, you could end up with nothing to base any taxes upon.
