Quote:if they indeed have losses for a particular year... if they have too many consecutive years of loss then they would't be billionaires anymore. this is common sense stuff. plus the IRS will come knocking if you claim too many losses in consecutive years. at which point... you aint getting away with anything.  this is known.

 

it's ok for companies to do whatever they want. we just shouldn't make it more beneficial for them to do so by creating a trade deficit. i still fail to see how that has any relation to Trump's personal finances.

 

That's very idealistic.  And I appreciate your response.  But there are alot of intricacies that you are ignoring.  For instance, a corporation can hold losses for 20 years to reduce thier tax expostion.  20 years.  You have a big enough loss, you can find ways to deduct enough to make your tax liability 0 for 20 years.

 

And it happens alot.  

 

Again, it's bunk.  He's a billionaire.  There are many billionaires.  The all are jacking us workers.  He's not gonna fix it for the nation.  He's just gonna keep it going.  

Like I said earlier...  This is probably a wash between us.  You think Hillary is gonna hose workers.  And you can bring up alot of examples of it.  I'm just trying to show you that trump is just as bad.  And of course, in my opinion, he's worse.

 

But at the end of the day, I just find it deplorable that he thinks it's smart of him to jack me and my peers.  I never go to take any losses to ensure I don't pay taxes.  I had the standard deduction that allowed me to get a refund back when I was in college.  But since I got out of college I've had taxes that were paid to the government except for 2009 and 2010 when my family size and the fact that both me and my wife were in college.

 

Other than that, I've had to pay into this nation.  And I've been fine with it.  But this guy comes along and calls my country garbage and he doesn't even pay his fair share.  It's just frustrating.  

 

But again, that's just me.  I know that the Clintons drive you crazy too.  I just think it's fair game for Hillary to take him down on this issue.  Though it'll probably be a wash in terms of how undecided voters look at the issue.  They both have skeletons that can be exploited.  I just think trump is tone def when he says he's smart for not paying taxes.

 

The entire 1% have been nothing but takers of American Labor and hard work for the last 20 or 30 years.  They can all go pound sand for all I care.
