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

- 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
