Why didn't the IRS or the State of New York ever file charges against Trump if he had engaged in "outright fraud?"insinceredawg said:The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

They were asleep at the wheel. They are looking into it now after the NYT story dropped.SFGbob said:

Trump has never been audited? Somehow I doubt that.HardlyClothed said:

How many Wall Street Bankers went to jail while Obama was President? And what does Chelsea Clinton's husband do for a living?
Everybody worships the Mighty Green Jesus, and politicians are the most hypocritical and corrupt in their religious devotion to it, regardless of which side of the aisle they stand on.
Seriously, wake the fuck up. If Trump was ducking law enforcement, he was probably doing it by greasing the palms of elected officials. We are talking NYC, after all. -
Rich people avoid taxes?!!!
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.greenblood said:Rich people avoid taxes?!!!

If you measure dumb voters as those voters who are ignorant on the issues, the Rat party wins the votes nearly every election.2001400ex said:

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.greenblood said:Rich people avoid taxes?!!!

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?insinceredawg said:

I guess the left is bailing on Ford

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?creepycoug said: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.

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

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.

Good for him. The government is a bunch of thieving cunts.

Who should do the ceasing of the corrupt IRS and Congress? Great passive voice as always. Did anyone edit your BS in economics?UW_Doog_Bot said: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.

Nothing about Russian oligarchs?
The dumb fucking left peddled that bullshit long enough
THAT'S WHY WE NEED HIS TAX RETURNS
No one cares but once again the left shows their hatred of America by breaking the law to leak tax returns
Ends justify the means comrades -
I'm not working hard at all. I didn't say Trump was a clean guy. No need to go down Hondo's strawman ass rape lane. I would think that if Trump really has done something illegal with his taxes, one of the many audits he has been subjected to would have come up with it. No work at all.creepycoug said:

Well when the nation's premier law enforcement agency, the New York Times, says so it must be true!

We already know you are in on illegal surveillance and leaking of tax returns by the IRS
Anything else? By any means necessary? -
