I want to know how much Trumps accountants/tax lawyers were paid annually. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 27, 15:27 3
- Not enough given how this reads. He apparently incapable of doing anything right in business except manipulate tax policy. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 15:45
- The check's in the mail. I'm under audit and cannot release any monies until completion. Locusts. A flood. I swear it isn't my fault. -- nm - 45 Sep 27, 15:33
- like he actually pays people for things. -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 15:28
The second I saw that article I knew there’d be a lot of people that suddenly are tax experts. The internet is going to be unbearable tonight. -- nm - MDH Sep 27, 15:21 11

    - dream job! -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 15:27
  - Yes. Apologies, this wasn’t directed at you, more of a general comment. Like whenever SC is handing down decisions everyone becomes a SC expert. :-) -- nm - MDH Sep 27, 15:25
- to me (as an accountant), I don't see it as shady. Just proof of what an absolute trainwreck he is as a business person to have those sort of losses - Beaker Sep 27, 15:24 4
  - if you look at the article, specific examples are of the bullshit variety - maintaining that a vacation estate is a business for losses - Reagen Sep 27, 15:34 1
    - I have personal experience with that "my lawyers vs the IRS" point. My wife benefits from a family trust that the IRS didn't want to litigate - TWuG Sep 27, 15:37
  - Wasn’t he allowed to double-deduct business loan defaults as personal losses for a time? - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 27, 15:26
  - (without seeing the detailed returns of course) -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 15:25
- Remember that some of them actually are, but are opining based on an incomplete report, not a properly done audit. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 27, 15:23
- “Tonight”? -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 27, 15:22

- This type of "welfare" to the very wealthy is despicable and damages society to a much greater extent than any abuse of food stamps or housing - TWuG Sep 27, 15:10

      - "the number you have reached has either been changed or is disconnected." -- nm - Operator Sep 27, 15:14
    - Right? "If it's illegal then he'll get charged" is the worst read of the current situation possible. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 15:13 10
      - "We don't like rich people. They should pay more." - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:26 9
        
        Awww, your boyo either: a) is a successful businessman who doesn't properly pay taxes; or b) is not a successful businessman, and you are hurt.. - Marlowe Sep 27, 15:34 5
        
        My "boyo". LOL. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:35 2
        
        You still feel the need to come and say BS like "But he's an evil Republican... that should be a $5M penalty at least" and not - Marlowe Sep 27, 15:44 1

        Yeah. He is stern and tough on him, much like Collins were. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 27, 15:46
        
        I am a "rich people" and I absolutely should pay more. That we pay between 5% and 10% a year on income derived from investments is a problem. - TWuG Sep 27, 15:33 1
        
        I thought most had a debt contribution line? -- nm - VMan Sep 27, 15:34
        
        "Rich people should pay more to maintain the systems that keep them rich" - Reagen Sep 27, 15:31
  - How is that working out so far for him, I wonder? (NM) - Marlowe Sep 27, 15:09

The Madden ratings of the Bengals offensive line are 73, 69, 66, 61 and 54. That’s criminal roster construction. - Volnelk Sep 27, 14:32 1

- You lose money you don’t pay income taxes. I’m not sure what’s so controversial about that. - spamlet Sep 27, 14:31 31
  - You might want to read the article before making that assumption, or at least review some tax law -- nm - MDH Sep 27, 15:18
  - Debt parking to avoid taxes would be controversial. Did they rule that out from what Trump reported? -- nm - Max Sep 27, 15:03 2
    - The IRS is fighting him on a ~$70 million deduction. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 15:08
    - It doesn’t say anything about that as far as I can tell. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 15:07
  - But he's an evil Republican... that should be a $5M penalty at least. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 14:42 6
    - These posts are terrible. Be less terrible. -- nm - New, Better David Sep 27, 14:43 5
      - I’ll try to bring fewer facts next time. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 15:09
      - They are pretty standard Reddit/Twitter/Facebook, I concur. -- nm - Qale Sep 27, 14:52
      - I'm sorry your NFL team has you in a bad mood. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 14:50 2
        
        I've finished my work for next week! I'm in a great mood! - New, Better David Sep 27, 14:53 1
        
        10-4 -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 14:58
  - I was definitely told he is a successful business man and that’s why he deserves to run the country. - Tim Sep 27, 14:38 7
    - We all knew he was lying about that. That’s a different issue than him not paying income taxes. - spamlet Sep 27, 14:39 6
      - This is pretty damn close. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 15:17
      - I think if you make the argument of “why do you pay more in taxes than Trump?” That it will resonate with some. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 27, 14:40 4
        
        Avoiding taxes isn't criminal, it's smart. -- nm - 45 Sep 27, 14:53 2
        
        So his voters aren’t smart. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 27, 15:15 1
        
        I love the uneducated. -- nm - 45 Sep 27, 15:20
        
        I suspect that his Walter White-ish nature is what appeals to his core. -- nm - New, Better David Sep 27, 14:44
  - A tax code that allows that is criminal. And he's the candidate that wants the tax code to stay that way. - TWuG Sep 27, 14:37 9
    - An income tax code that allows people to not pay when they don’t have income is criminal? - spamlet Sep 27, 14:39 8
      - For billionaires and millionaires, it's the deductions and, yes, that's criminal. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 14:42 7
        
        Or,to put it another way, it's bullshit and a fucking tragedy that it's not an actual crime. Also rationalizing it is why we can't have nice things - TWuG Sep 27, 14:46 6
        
        So what country would you like to compare it to? Every country outside of Central America allows carryovers of losses. - spamlet Sep 27, 14:49 5
        
        "Everybody allows it" is not the argument you think it is. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 14:50 4
        
        It’s a fact, not an argument. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 14:56 3
        
        Your facts are ruining my very strongly held opinion. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:36 1
        
        "It's perfectly legal" isn't the best way to argue against "it's immoral and a travesty and shouldn't be legal" -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 15:45
        
        And my point is the fact is stupid and needs to go away regardless of how widespread it is. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 14:59
  - while I agree, with his lifestyle his personal return should still have significant income from wages, taxable and all that. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 27, 14:34 1
    - His lifestyle is on borrowed money. That’s why he’s been bankrupt three times and was teetering again before his run. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 14:40
- Fucking criminal -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 14:26
