Quote:NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. The biggest problem with the Federal government is the roughly $23 trillion in expenses not properly accounted for (mostly thru the Pentagon and HUD), the TAX LAWS that give the wealthy and corporations giant tax breaks, and the enormously expensive wars and weapons programs that cost trillions of dollars but don't benefit the USA.
SECONDRATE: Signym, what the hell is wrong with you? The Federal government is running a multi-trillion dollar deficit per year because taxes are NOT being collected.
Quote:Well, maybe if someone simplified the tax rules .... complex rules created so that the wealthy can play shell games with their money and keep it out of government hands ... maybe the accounting wouldn't be so difficult.
SECONDRATE: I am absolutely certain, from talking to people about accounting and business, that Trump's tax cheating has made them realize that they can cheat and not get caught because IRS audits can't drill down deep enough since the IRS does not have the personnel nor the budget to do serious forensic auditing.
You know as well as I, SECONDRATE, that the rules are made by the wealthy, for the wealthy, so they can continue to stay wealthy. If you don't want the IRS to have to play a cat-and-mouse game with the elites, don't set one up in the first place.
Oh, yeah ... and put an end to those unfunded 'wars' like the GWOT that never make it into the budget to begin with. Don't let Congress lie about the liability of major programs like Medicare part D, and make sure there is a funding source before spending major money. Also, grow the economy (jobs, production) instead of converting it to financialism.

AFA Trump and taxes ... Trump is doing what every other wealthy person, like Warren Buffet, does with taxes: use the loopholes afforded to him by a generous Congress, which takes care of its wealthy donors.

The reason, [for not paying income taxes] as was already largely known, Trump had generated nearly $1 billion in casino-linked losses in the 1990s and onward (incidentally, loss carryfowards or NOLs are perfectly acceptable and legal instrument which anyone can apply against future income) and which offset much of the money that he made.

Quote:Trump’s reckless “treason” accusation against the FBI, explained straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Originally posted by SIGNYM:
We are talking about two different investigations. Or hadn't you noticed?
The FIB "investigated" Trump and his campaign before Mueller was ever brought on board That's what all that surveillance and phonied-up FISA warrants were all about. And what was the FIB "investigating" (i.e. concocting)? COLLUSION. Cooperation and coordination between the Trump campaign, and Russia.
President Donald Trump on Friday morning accused the Obama-era FBI of “TREASON,” and called for people to serve “long jail sentences” as a result.
Trump’s accusation is transparently meritless, but that’s beside the point. Heading into his 2020 reelection campaign, Trump — with help from new Attorney General William Barr — is trying to establish a narrative that the entire investigation into his campaign’s contacts with Russia stemmed from anti-Trump bias in the law enforcement and intelligence communities, not his campaign’s secretive contacts with people in the Kremlin’s orbit. Trump wants to portray himself as a victim and Obama-era officials as bad actors who had it out for him from the beginning.
To that end, Trump is now using his social media platforms to unequivocally call for his perceived enemies to be imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. It’s troubling and abnormal behavior for a president.

Quote:Trump does not agree with you. He said that he did NOT have yearly multi-million dollar loses. If there were truth in what he said, he couldn't be using loopholes to lower his taxes. There is a simple bar chart clarifying the loses that Trump crazily insists did NOT happen:

I think Trump needs to provide his tax returns to the public so that they can decide whether he is either a very incompetent businessman or a very crazy liar/tax-cheater. Don't forget this thread is titled Psychologists call Trump the "most psychotically disordered president in history". His tax returns are physical evidence about his mental state over many years.

You idiots forgot you tried the tax angle before and it went nowhere.
You've run out of ideas.
Tom Hanks already got the hell out because he knows who wins in November.

Quote:Donald Trump's tax returns reveal why he *really* ran for president (Short version: Trump knows 6ix and Wacko Americans are extremely gullible.)

Donald Trump needed a new act.
By 2015, more than a decade removed from the smashing success of "The Apprentice," Trump's brand -- always his most marketable and valuable commodity -- was foundering, his golf courses were losing loads of money and he had nine-figure loans coming due. (We know all of that thanks to blockbuster reporting from The New York Times that reveals Trump paid $750 in taxes in 2016 -- and no taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years.)
So he ran for president. Which, in retrospect, makes all the sense in the world.
Trump had flirted with running for national office in the past -- he made overtures in 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2012 -- but had demurred, having achieved his goal of getting a bunch of free press for himself.
But his situation was different in 2015. He was no longer riding high financially or otherwise. He was seen less as a business titan and A-list celebrity -- and much more as a a cultural curiosity, a sort of has-been throwback to the 1980s. Flirting with a run for president wasn't enough; he needed to go further this time as a way to restart a flagging brand.
Everything from the early days of Trump's presidential candidacy suggest that this was much more about boosting a brand than any serious campaign to actually wind up as the Republican presidential nominee.
"Mr. Trump announced a campaign that seemed a long shot to win, but was almost certain to bring him newfound attention, at the same time that his businesses were in need of a new approach," wrote the Times' David Leonhardt about Trump's taxes -- and his 2016 bid.
The announcement of his candidacy at Trump Tower -- after the descent down his gold escalator -- was essentially a free TV ad for the Trump brand.

Nobody cares about his taxes.
They didn't 4 years ago. They didn't 3 years ago.
Nothing you have tried so far has worked.
45.3% approval in the aggregate.
Debate night destruction of the "best" you could put up is one night away.
Trump wins in a landslide.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I don't care about how a Billionaire became a politician.
I'm more interested in how a politician became a Millionaire.
Looking at you, Nancy.

Trump's announcement speech itself featured Trump touting his building and its air conditioning (not kidding) as well as his golf courses. ("I have the best courses in the world, so I'd say, you what, if [Obama] wants to— I have one right next to the White House, right on the Potomac. If he'd like to play, that's fine.") He also mentioned he "just sold an apartment for $15 million to somebody from China" and that he owned a "big chunk of the Bank of America Building at 1290 Avenue of the Americas ... very valuable." And that he was "really rich." And that he was "proud of (his) net worth" because he had "done an amazing job." (As far as I can tell, I'm actually richer than the fat dumb fucker. His bragging about his fake wealth/net worth does not qualify him to be president.)
