The point that is lost is that in order to spend a billion dollar, you have to HAVE a billion dollars.
Not sure what point you are making, but construction like Trump's hotels is done by bank loans, not personal funds.
Trump’s CPA’s followed the tax code. Which is lawful, and not unlawful, to think that Trump should not follow the tax code is ludicrous. Everybody who can, probably does take deductions, especially small and large business owners.
For Kaine to insinuate (and HRC for that matter) that he was doing something wrong, or that he was miserly and petty for taking business deductions is aimed solely at pathetical and the parasitical within the Jackass Party ranks.
Does anyone doubt that Kaine or HRC, or BHO or any other politico would not take deductions? In a word preposterous.
