The mischaracterization of the loss deduction as “no taxes for 18 years” is astoundingly misleading. Losses can be carried forward. Tax is paid on net income, and for corporations, losses are matched against income, not only in the current year, but in the carryforward period.
Donald lost $1 billion that year—actually the business was failing for a while, and the realization of that loss came in 1995. Since then he’s been successful. If he’s earned more than $1 billion cumulatively over the last 20 years, which seems highly likely, then he’s paying taxes because his total income over the period is positive. And, if not, so what?
The focus should be on who leaked this to the NY Times, if indeed it wasn’t someone associated with Trump. That’s a crime.
Some democrat operative copied the forms, knowing full well that she/he/it would never face the consequences. It is a crime.
Yes.Whether that can be proven or not, does not matter. It happened, and the IRS has debauched its own reputation - so if they deny it, if anyone denies it, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
Same thing with Filegate; Hillary hired Craig Livingstone. Anyone in the Clinton White House who runs for office, hired Craig Livingstone - if they stayed in the WH after that affair, and with nobody - not Livingstone, not anyone - in the WH paying for it, then they are guilty of it, in principle.
Ya’ don’t answer these gotcha questions and setups... you don’t dialogue with the enemy... Ya’ take them out with one sentence and then go on to the next subject.
These nut cases have learned to push Trump’s buttons and get a response.. Donald, don’t fall for this!! I am scared silly that you are going to lose this election and I’d have to go somewhere and decide if it’s worth living here or taking up residence on an island somewhere. I can’t imagine hillary at the helm...
Explain that it is legal and he’d be dumb if he didn’t ... and then go to hillary subject... bring everything they charge back to hillary!!! hillary gave small donations to charity..hillary pocketed millions from foreign donors, who she owes all those favors to... hillary does not have time for the people... she wants the office to gain power OVER the people... hillary charges thousands for one speech which she pocketed in her foundation, which gives nothing to anyone but herself, bill and chelsea... hillary destroyed all her emails to cover up her criminality .. find out how much taxes hillary paid and then get back to me... hillary has not told the truth in all her life, and you dummies believe her... who’s the stupid here?
Just don’t dialogue with them... it gives them ammunition and you come off sounding weak.
One of two has the returns. The IRS, and the ex-wife. If the IRS released them, that’s a felony, and the NYT that published the partial returns also committed a felony.
Oh wait, the NYT and IRS are above the law. Never mind.
