You can trace photocopies back to the photocopier serial number to find the machine’s location.

You don’t pay income taxes if you don’t have income.

The people at the top in the IRS are corrupt democrats (that’s a redundancy) and any democrat in any position below the leadership is just as likely to be corrupt, eager to aid the dnc criminal enterprise.

It's only a "bombshell" to those whose world is government apparatchiks who have no idea how businesses work.

I hope the Trump campaign raises the issue of how Hillary's Billionaires have used the same carry forward loss law.

In the spirit of “words mean things”

“......the Times revealed that Trump had declared a $916 million loss in 1995, wiping out any federal taxes that year and setting himself up to avoid 18 years of similar obligations.”

“setting himself up” ????

By LOSING almost a BILLION dollars?????

I think I’ll LOSE a billion dollars just so I can “avoid” paying income tax. How ABSURD!

“avoid”

keep away from or stop oneself from doing (something)

This implies “intention”. In this case, that you would “intentionally” lose a billion dollars so you could “avoid” paying income tax, RIDICULOUS, but I repeat myself.

“obligations.”

Is paying income tax an obligation? NO!, Not if you don’t OWE anything. (Well there is that payroll deduction thingy).

I’m pretty sure Trump didn’t go YIPPEE!, I lost a BILLION DOLLARS!!! Take THAT IRS!!!

To all his critics out there about this issue...

STOP taking all those legal tax deductions on YOUR tax returns. You are AVOIDING your “obligation” to pay taxes on your mortgage, on your charitable contributions, especially on those investment losses. You DIRT BAGS! How dare you?

Stealing from and embellishing what Laura Ingraham said....

Breaking News..... Donald Trump caught driving 50mph in a 50mph zone.

As in.... Donald Trump caught taking LEGAL tax deductions.

Wasn’t there a LEGAL tax deduction by the Clintons for USED underwear?

(Just the thought of Bill or Hillary’s used underwear....UGH!!)

Hillary knowing about Trump's taxes before the NYT article reminds me of how the White House knew about the gay marriage decision before it came down, and had time to decorate the White House in "rainbow" lights that same day. It also reminds me of how Cosmo and other news entities seemed to be ready with detailed background on the Miss Universe story immediately after Hillary brought up Trump's decades-old comments.

And no one in the media will mention the YouTube video of the people stealing Trump signs from people's yards, boasting and spouting obscenities, and beating up a woman who tried to stop them. It's almost enough to make me believe in conspiracies.

Democrats—The New Aristocracy who can not be arrested or convicted like peons. BUT beware Aristo-crats Remember the French Revolution! If things go bad—heads could roll. the days when the Uber Media could tell people what to do are done, Trump, win or Lose, has changed things forever. Intimidation and the IRS finished off the Tea Party—now they are trying to stop Trump with the same tactics. They may have turned Sarah Palin into a joke—but Trump is a different beast. Maybe Trump was right to use the Revolutionary song out of Les Miserabe. Maybe we need a new revolution. The Founding Fathers wouldn’t put up with half of what we must endure each day.

It is not a “bombshell” when Hillary illegally obtains 1995 tax returns. It is a felony. *itch.

The question would therefor be...is anyone willing to change the tax code from 70,000 pages down to five to ten pages, and make a flat tax across the board for the public?

Ha...The Russians did it...flat tax of 13%...fill out a post card with your annual income and mail it in with a check for 13%

(and no deductions)
