I hope Trump pays little or nothing in taxes. In fact, I wish the federal government would take less from him than they already do.
The money Trump save on taxes he then uses to create businesses that employ 10s of thousands of workers. These workers all pay federal taxes and will continue to pay taxes far, far,...FAR in excess of any money the federal government would have confiscated from Trump.
Trump may or may not pay taxes, but he most certainly creates significant tax revenues.
What would be smart is for the federal government to invest in Trump, allow him to keep more of what he earns & create even more jobs....instead of spending millions on studying cow flatulence, resettling terrorists into the United States, sending money to Islamic regimes and dictatorships and providing sex change operations for federal prisoners.
Gives ya something to look up to, something to strive to.
“If you start a business, you’ll have to pay no taxes.”
Imagine that.
Just stop paying your taxes.
I completely agree with your thoughts, but if this ever came out, the media would spin it, demonize him, and many unintelligent people would buy into their BS.
Again, I totally agree with your assessment!!
Gee. Then where will the Federal government get the money to pay for Chelsea Manning’s sex change operation?
I know. Good news.
Since the only positive thing Hillary can point to about herself is what her dad did
I wonder how many jobs he created?
The depreciation right off on his properties must be huge.
Trump does pay taxes.
He doesn’t pay as much as he could because he uses all of the tax loopholes. This makes him a SMART business man.
The years that Trump did not pay taxes was when he suffered business loss. Ya can’t pay taxes on what you ain’t got!
A question came up during a conversation with a friend... How would hIllary know about his taxes if the IRS didn’t leak the info to her?
Unless you’ve gone from college to 30yr retirement from fulltime employment, most of us have had one or two periods in our lifetimes where we didn’t make enough to pay taxes, or we paid minimal taxes for a year or two. Especially if one is self-employed. Then we get back on our feet and start paying through the nose again. That isn’t a flaw, it’s life. And Hillary fixating on it just goes to show that she is clueless about the working man.
HELLARY donated one million dollars to charity HER OWN FOUNDATION!!!!!! MSM CRICKETS!!!!
The liberals only boo people for not paying taxes because they need those taxes to get a free ride.
No one voluntarily pays incomes taxes, not even lib scum who say they want tax hikes so the rich “pay their fair share”. I’m far from rich but the top 1% pays almost 50% of the income tax, that’s not fair? Why is it that being rich=evil according to the left? It’s something almost everyone aspires to. What kind of decent person let’s their envy turn to French Revolution hatred?
If income taxes were optional only a few mentally ill people would choose to pay. If people could choose where to direct their money, the military and roads would be well funded, pork barrel projects and free food for societal leeches who make enough money to feed their 5 kids by 4 different men but spend that money on booze/cigs/iphones instead and then cry for a handout, not so much.
Everyone who has the wherewithal to use some loophole to pay less does so, EVERYONE. INCLUDING THE CLINTONS. The GD Kennedys are the master of this.
Want to stop that? Simplify the GD tax code so that’s not possible anymore. But the system is exactly how rich liberals want it, they don’t pay and they still get to use class warfare BS to trick idiots into voting rat. And it keeps H&R block in business.
What about states offering opportunity zones, where businesses can relocate tax free for years? Is Hillary demonizing those businesses too for following the law to legally pay no taxes? If the government wanted to tax Trump or anyone else, they would write the laws to do so. The idea that it’s anyone’s fault for legally following the law that lets them pay the least taxes is ludicrous.
Hillary was in the Senate and helped pass the laws that allow tax loopholes for her wealthy contributors.
But She’s mad at Trump because he uses those loopholes???

Trump missed a good comeback by not saying “I pay taxes on every item a company of mine purchases, not to mention all the payroll taxes for my many employees. What I don’t pay in taxes is either reinvested to create more jobs or spent to help the economy. Mrs. Clinton is upset that I choose to spend my funds in a productive manner rather than giving them to the government.”
I wish he had once again said that he'd been audited for years and asked when was the last time the Clintons and/or their foundation had been audited....
Ownership of large commercial real estate projects has many and large tax benefits. Otherwise, nobody with big money would even bother to build and maintain them, and the skylines of every major city in America would never have come into being.
By the way, the greediest and most dishonest people on earth are left wing businessmen. PERIOD !
What people don’t realize than even if business owners
may not pay “enough” in income taxes, they still pay plenty in taxes. Social Security taxes for employees, real estate taxes, import taxes, and there are a lot of taxes you have to pay along the supply chain, and on and on and on. If the business has vehicles, there are taxes on gas. Phone service is taxed, as well as energy costs. Virtually everything has sales or use tax unless you can buy it wholesale. Then, when it gets down to the individual, any income drawn from the business is taxed at a very high rate. AND if that money is invested it is taxed again. And when the person dies, if they are rich, it is confiscated at a high percentage again unless it is tied up in an expensive trust. Nuts! And business owners work very hard. They provide a service to the economy and should be rewarded, not vilified!
