    Shocker!!!

    People didn't vote for Trump because he was honest and paid his fair share...hth

    Exactly. There are a lot of dumb voters out there.
    The voters had the choice between Cancer or AIDS.

    Sure, but a lot of voters voted for him because they believed he was a self made man who turned a "small loan" from his father into a billion dollar empire. This story further proves what the majority have known for years, Donny boy is a corrupt con man.

    One con man wants to lower my taxes, the other, a con woman wants to increase my taxes. Who do you think I'm voting for?

    yeah, this is the last thing any group wants to focus on too much. people all over the political spectrum are guilty of tax evasion and of being in bed with Wall Street operatives.

    Tax evasion and tax avoidance aren't the same thing. We know that Trump has been audited numerous times. How did NY state and the IRS miss this?

    Yes, I know Bob. I spend a good portion of my year structuring things to enable the latter. But I appreciate the clarification.

    How? Boy, I just don't know. Audits always seem to work in my experience.

    You're working too hard here. Even an enthusiastic Trump supporter knows he's not a clean guy. Hell, that's part of his appeal to a lot of people.

    We don't need a long and drawn out debate on this one. I'm sure that Trump has operated in ways that are not within the letter of the law, and I'm sure he's done worse than that. I'm also not sure I care.

    Cease having a corrupt IRS and a Congress that enacts dodgy tax laws and you'll cease having people that make their money on those things. Statists don't want to think of the government as being the source of corruption though.
