Trump paid no federal taxes for 18+ years

I haven't paid taxes since 2003 because the federal government is a pit of criminals. Why would I give criminals money? Im indigent on paper. I get food stamps and assistance for utility bills and property tax.

Honestly, why are you all not doing this? Is it some retarded notion of pride or something? Have fun with that

>could have

Besides, if a businessman can not pay taxes and not be doing anything illegal, that's on the government.

so a literal revolutionary?
down with the brits, down with the globalists.

Isn't that supposed to be a crime in burgerland?

Like, a big fucking crime?

And at least criminals, people without ID's, and lazy niggers can vote in online polls. Hillary's fucked in the actual election.

Oh, and she's going to croak soon :D

oh noes, a loss carry forward

What sort of moron would willingly pay taxes if they could legally not pay them?
Being taxed isn't the same as being altruistic.

Don't care

>could of
We would have a much fucking better idea if he just released his taxes like everyone else. Why does Trump get a pass on this again?

>could have

so let me get this straight: this is a standard part of the tax code, anyone can use it, but because someone who said mean things is using it, that's bad?

jesus christ these people are grasping at straws

evading taxes is a crime, but he doesn't evade taxes. evading implies deliberately not paying taxes you're supposed to pay, he instead does something called 'tax avoidance', where he takes advantage of the tax code to pay as little tax as possible

THIS IS THE SHILL STORY THAT RIGHT SIDE BROADCASTING NETWORK WAS TALKING ABOUT AFTER THE RALLY.

The RSBN people said to READ carefully and do not share and that these are FALSE.

If he was not paying taxes, the IRS would have went after him

If he's following the current laws, leave him the fuck alone.

We don't care CTR.

sounds like the system is broken and trump knows how to fix it.

Well I mean, if his not having net income because of losses, then he wouldn't have tazes to pay. Where's the illiegal part?

>actually paying taxes

He took a massive loss in one year. That loss is spread over many years with regard to taxes.

This is a routine practice for any business of any size.

Good, it would of been wasted on retarded shit otherwise, our corrupt as govt. doesn't spend its money wisely.

they use those words because the average person has literally no idea how taxes work and they will immediately think Trump somehow danced around for 20 years avoiding the IRS while making TV shows, running businesses and so on

This just in

>Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.

>The tax experts consulted by The Times said nothing in the 1995 documents suggested any wrongdoing by Mr. Trump, even if the extraordinary size of the loss he declared would have probably triggered extra scrutiny from Internal Revenue Service examiners.

If this is Hillary's october surprise, they are really desperate

>Could Have

Yep, good for him, smart enough to know to pay as little as possibly legally using all the existing tricks and loopholes that the rich, including Hillary, have been using for years.

I'd be mad if he were dumb enough to NOT have taken advantage of all opportunities.

There is literally nothing wrong with using the law to your advantage in order to pay as little taxes as possible.

He's paying what the law requires, would any of you pay more than you have to?

Thought so.

>trump is a draft dodger

clinton is a woman, so she's a draft dodger by default

He knows what loopholes to close up to make up for his lower taxes, which will also make it to where those who don't know how/can't afford to use those loopholes aren't having to carry that extra weight.
I trust him more than Hillary on this; especially when she has all of the typical corrupt interests on her side.

I, also, try to pay as little in taxes as possible.

If I had that ability, I would certainly not pay income tax.

Not certain exactly how the american tax system works, but is federal income tax seperate to business tax?

I just assumed he was paying the business tax instead.

Richfag here. There are many levels of aggressiveness you can take with avoiding taxes. Some are obviously legal, all good. But then there is more and more dangerous...questionably legal totally defensible but maybe not to the spirit of the law. then theres situations you have deniability but in reality you know its not 100% legal. And then theres like unquestionably illegal but if you get called out on it, you just go ahead and pay immediately maybe expecting a penalty. And theres obviously levels of the last one, fudging something small or something huge.

It would be nice to know where trump sits on this if he is going to be our president. If his business record is his main qualification, this is a pretty good indicator of how much risk he will really take and frankly how greedy he is.

He should release his taxes like any of the candidates from the past 10 presidential elections

If I were Trump and got elected president, I'd go out of my way to put NPR and PBS bankrupt once and for all.

>Where's the illiegal part?
There isn't. Taxes are God to the left, not paying them is blasphemy of the highest order.

Tbh they'll both be as bad as each other. Trump is a Zionist wannabe Jew and Hillary is a globalist puppet. Take your pick, Amerifats.

>read the article
>return address on the envelope with the returns was allegedly Trump Tower

I hope Manafort is still on the payroll, because someone needs to disappear.

I know, but the depreciation deductions you are claiming now are eroding your basis in the property. when you do sell it, you will get taxed on the difference between what you paid and what you sell it for

yeah you can keep making money off rent though. that is essentially what trump is doing.

Trump is scum, I can't believe hes hooked all you gullible Merifats. Not even Shillary acknowledges Jerusalem as part of Israel but ya boy Trump does, he's in the pockets of Jews like everyone else.

This will hurt him but it shouldn't be huge

However If he doesn't come back from these stumbles I don't think he can win the election

>rich person doesnt pay taxes
>they are praised
>rich person doesnt pay taxes but is republican
>evil and racist
funny how fucking stupid libtards are

Considering it's all completely legal, and his job is to turn a profit, I'd say he was doing the only option available.

He's the only candidate calling for extreme economic reform, has mentioned auditing the fed, and has real first hand experience with the legal loopholes corporations use to avoid paying taxes.

He's aware of the fed's political motivations and denounces it.

He's aware of the overinflated markets, and trillions in Quantitative Easing that have only exacerbated the problem.

Hillary's plan is to raise taxes on a class of people who don't pay taxes anyway. Hillary has said nothing of offshore legal tax havens, or how to deal with them.

Trump might not be the best guy for president in terms of social policy, or constitutional rights, and I hate that this election has turned into a choice between the lesser of two evils, but I'm a firm believer that an artificial and ever increasing financial economy is a recipe for disaster.

Bankers should not be writing banking law.

Investment banks and savings banks should be segregated.

Infinite models of growth are effective only in the short term, and should be adjusted to represent finite labor and resources.

Everybody else would do the same if they could get away with it but they can't because they're retarded.

Good for him. Smart businessmen find ways to put their assets back into their ventures and pay as little personal tax as possible.

>t. Important businessman

If you can legally avoid paying taxes and have the means to do so, it makes sense that you would.

JFK's dad got rich off of financial practices he himself later banned. When there's a loophole, exploiting it is rational self-interest. When there isn't one and you're embezzling and taking bribes on the public dime, then it's a crime.

I'm happy things turned around for Trump and he worked his way out of the hole.

This. Politicians like Hillary are there to make sure those loopholes stay. Every businessman pays as little taxes as he can. Stop pretending everyone but Trump is just generously giving money to the government.

This.

Do people not understand what a corporation is? It's not a pass-through entity. He's only going to pay taxes if he takes distributions from the company. Any salary he pays himself is probably wiped out by his humongous schedule A deductions.

Trump seems to have claimed an enormous amount of lost income in 1995, which he could then use to not pay taxes for at least 20 years afterward.

Maybe he did this leak just so they would be too scared to report on it, but they called his bluff?

All of you trying to spin this into some sort of net positive for Trump or that he won't be hurt by this are delusional. If this were just one thing in a seamless campaign, then he could probably survive. But it comes after a bad debate performance and a week when his disdain for women was heavily displayed. Now it comes out that he lost close to a billion dollars and that it's likely (though not conclusive) that he hasn't paid taxes in decades. And what's more, that he subtly brags about it. That doesn't play well with a lot of folks (those you dub normies). It's almost funny how blind you guys all are.

He already wants to fix outsourcing.

capital losses to offset capital gains in other years
this is why he didn't pay taxes

So is literally every other businessman out there. He knows the system is broken and how it is broken and will bring these Jews to heel. Only once he has destroyed ZOG will he be able to pay taxes in good conscience, in a system where tax rates are fair and evasion is hard.

Realistically....he probably didn't, at least for a few years. There's no way he earned enough in 1996 to offset that loss.

That said, he was following the law and there's nothing wrong with what he did.

This. The (((media))) keeps digging up scandals and accusations thereof and then is shocked that nobody cares.

If people really cared about the skeletons in the closets, they wouldn't vote at all.

You can't lose a lot of money if you don't make a lot of money

This isn't even a skeleton...anyone with a basic understanding of tax law and accounting realizes that what he did is somewhat normal from an LLP standpoint - hell, most small business owners take advantage of this "loophole"

So the guy who uses the loopholes for decades is the one we trust to close them?
Seriously, why the fuck would he ever do that and suddenly start paying a SHIT TON of taxes?

>be bad business man
>save literally millions in costs

Is this doublethink or are you retarded?

Also, this makes Trump's tax plan more believable, no one can close loopholes like someone who has abused them for years

I wish I could lose a billion dollars and not even be rustled by the idea.

>If this were just one thing in a seamless campaign, then he could probably survive.

You're a moron. If this was a seamless campaign this would sink him harder than the iceberg did the Titanic. Because Donald has so many supposed "moral failings," this latest event will just be another drop in the bucket against Donald. On top of that, Trump hasn't exactly been making a huge secret about the fact he's a massive Jew when it comes to taxes. Almost everyone suspects that on some level he games the system hard.

if you have enough losses/expenses (which can carry over year to year slowly diminishing) or if you donate a considerable sum to charities each year, you can effectively not pay taxes

True, but that isn't how the media is portraying it.

...

This. It's apparently asking too much for the average person to understand this though. Literally EVERY single major business/wealthy person is gaming the system like this. The choice is between someone who uses these exploits to remain competitive, understands what they are, and wants to close them, vs. someone that is bought and paid for by the people abusing them to ensure they stay open.

This x1000000

They arent "loopholes" theyre incentives written by Congress to encourage investment in certain areas that are beneficial to society. He's literally doing us all a service by not paying taxes

No. Because most small business owners accurately claim their losses. Trump either really had that much loss, which doesn't bode well for the "he makes great decisions always" argument, or, more likely, he's "smart" taking advantage of the "loophole"... that many in his cult think he will close.

You get perks when you're rich. Also he's probably paid far more in business expenses and property taxes for his business that it makes federal income tax pale in comparison. And why should this bother me? If anything, this is more incentive for me to be successful. Get rich, avoid income tax. Sounds good to me.

>Trump paid no federal taxes for 18+ years.

lol good

nobody trusts the media
also, calling the media "the media" is a microagression

Calm down there Buddie. You're quite triggered. I know having a proper job is alien to a mouth breather such as yourself. Keep complaining about non - issues and how oppressed you are. Kind of reminds of another whiny extremely vocal group on the opposite spectrum.

Then why was he hiding it?

you're fucking retarded.

there is no loophole.

carrying losses forward is how it's done and will be done forever.

off yourself

Everything you said is wrong. Small business owners are the most likely to cheat because the irs rarely goes after them. Noone has ever said trump has never made a bad decision, or that trump will remove one of core accounting principles that almost every government in the world follows.

>Trump follows tax law to the letter
>Hillary wrote tax law that made his rate 0%
All Trump has to say is he follows tax law as it is written.

You fucking retards need to fucking learn how the tax system in literally every single country works.

You don't even need to be overly wealthy to get SUBSTANTIAL tax returns, such that you're paying little to no tax.

Investment properties provide needed rentals to the poorfags, and as such are heavily subsidized by governments in the form of lofty tax breaks for investors. Trump is a fucking real estate investor, of course he pays fuck all tax.

Not to mention the tax breaks for companies, etc. These people create jobs.

Trump personally contributes a fairly sizeable amount to the American treasury in the form of tax paid on the wages on the jobs he's created. Why the fuck should he pay tax?

:) Small business owner here. In an organization of other small business owners. We don't cheat taxes. Sorry, but good try.

You can thank the republican party for being a bunch of fucking pussies and giving this trainwreck the nomination. This has been the biggest joke of an election process.

Hope everyone's ready for a good 'ole liberal American style fucking on their paychecks for another 8 years, along with an unseen amount of corruption that's going to go *right* under the radar of all the major media outlets because they're putting these assholes into office.

Again, Hilary is in office because the Conservatives and the Republican Party is a bunch of fucking pussies.

It's their fault.

>trump follows the law
cool story

Because the media will spin it into something that it's not, like what's happening how. Even apple did this way back when they sucked.

this makes me hard for Trump.

Where do I sign up? All this time I've been doing it for free?

And I can't fucking believe how stupid you leftists are on this whole tax return 'scandal'. Let me break it down for you so you'll get it.

>Media had been frothing about 'why won't trump release his tax returns? what is he hiding?'
>Clinton alleges that 'maybe he won't release them because he's hiding that he doesn't pay income tax'?
>This could damage Trump, because if he is avoiding taxes by offshore shell corps and other scummy practices, that could very much hurt him.
>All of a sudden, John Miller strikes again and leaks Trumps taxes from a year in which he reports an almost $1B loss, the poor guy.
>Now, any allegations of not paying taxes in any year since that point can easily be easily dismissed by an offset from loss carry forward, a completely benign and common accounting practice that every single business that has ever reported a loss (i.e. every single one of them) has used.
>Bonus, Trump gets to sue the NYT and everyone else who illegally published his taxes (damn you John Miller!).

If you think the media can spin this against Trump, you're fucking idiots.
1. Americans love a comeback story, and more than that, this builds hope that Trump can turn Amercia around from the abyss, because he's done it for himself!
2. Americans fucking hate taxes. They don't like it if people cheat on their taxes by going offshore, but have no problem of people paying as little in taxes as then can through legal and common practices such as a loss carry forward.

KEK Dems are having a field day.

Give the republicans a taste of their own medicine with leaks.

Time to sit back and watch the damage control.

How many paychecks did he pay?

rmyt

>any online polls "we" can spam

They aren't running for president though (Granted the same could be said about Clinton and her emails or Gary Johnson and Aleppo).

>He took a massive loss in one year. That loss is spread over many years with regard to taxes.
>This is a routine practice for any business of any size.
>it's fucking nothing

Correct. You get to carry losses forward and Trump had chapter 11 bankruptcy for his casinos, which he came back from and put in record books. This isn't some advanced loophole. This is a single year return and he even wrote a book where mentioned this billion dollar loss: "The Art of the Comeback"

He has run and built an organization for the past 45 years and who, in 2014, had at least 22,000 employees and generated $9.5 billion in annual revenue AND ran the most efficient campaign in modern history. Paying a ton of taxes through business. (Here is a link - archive.is/p3Xle)

This guy can really take you burgers to a whole new level and save your country. I might move there our politicians are struggling with Brexit and are dumb as a rock.

Nah, Hillary is quite right wing when it comes to business. She's probably right-wing in general and only lying because she wants to be the first women president. Conservatives won the moment Bernie lost.

Reminder that Clinton wants to increase the taxes on the rich to help students pay tuition. that's her policy

>billionaire doesn't pay millions in taxes
>country's serfs, the most likely to benefit from that tax money, vote for him

lmao americans

He's audited by the IRS every year. If there was actual wrongdoing, at the very least charges would have been levied. Exploiting loopholes is what any frugal businessman with access to tax attorneys would do.

>could have
Let's translate this:
>Source
My ass.

There's no way to win this, if you don't pay taxes, you're bad, if you pay, you're either not paying enough or you're stupid if you pay too much.

>You can thank the republican party for being a bunch of fucking pussies and giving this trainwreck the nomination.
If only every primary was Colorado.
Getting rid of Jeb was the best thing trump has ever done
shill somewhere else

Yawn.

Not really, if doing A makes you B, then not doing A doesn't mean you aren't B.

That's her trying to get votes. The rich are her best friends.

You do it by being poor on paper and living in a modest house at best that or you get the best Jewish tax people you can find and exploit every loop hole the government has.

>isreal tag
>pro hillary
>mfw

Before that obviously. When the post rate was actually still manageable and there was no banned content.

Well, let's bring the argument down to the level of simpletons. If you had the ability to avoid paying sales tax on everything, why would you ever pay it again?

>crazy woman accuses a businessman of not paying taxes
>crazy woman has a profiteering (((non-profit))) organization that takes ((((donations)))) from foreign interests for political favor, effectively selling out america
>said organization is tax-exempt

really bakes your beans...

how much money did clinton foundation take from muslim sheikhs and why

inquiry immediately

i haven't paid taxes since 2004..because i'm smart. ps fuck you nigger slaves to jews.

You need to realize that because people hate taxes, people dont know how complex tax law can get. Nothing you said is wrong, but the vast majority of people, myself included, dont have a fucking clue as to how that works and probably have never heard of it before today. This wont do anything to existing Trump supporters because the people they're listening to will bring this up. This might fuck with fence sitters who read headlines and fuck nothing else, but overall this shouldn't do much aside from drop him a point at the absolute most.

Its gonna get brought up at the debates too so someone needs to tell him to get the story straight and be able to explain in retard terms as to why this is okay.

why doesn't hillary release the transcript to the $225,000 speech she gave to goldman sachs?
why hasn't it been leaked?
did it happen at all?

Taxation is theft. Good on him for not giving his money to democrats and kikes.

>Its gonna get brought up at the debates too so someone needs to tell him to get the story straight and be able to explain in retard terms as to why this is okay.
this is why you're not president
if he spends 10 seconds explaining tax law during the debate, it will be too much

But if he deflects it that looks worse. I'm not saying go into explicit detail, just touch on why its okay. No amount of (((fact checking))) will say its wrong if he says it straight.

smart when he does... but part of the 47% that Republicans like to cry about when anyone else does it.

Got it.

"The tax law, which I followed bigly, was written to encourage real estate investment. I'm a real estate investor. End of story."
anything more than this is bad
