Under tax law if losses exceed income it could be 0%........how much in taxes would you owe on 0% income? I don't blame the person taking legal advantage of the system I blame the government who set the system up......It would kind of blow a hole in his claim that taxes on the rich are too high. 0% seems pretty low to me.
Would that impress you? Would you think it was smart? Should we all emulate him?
Trump would have been in trouble long ago if he was illegally minimizing taxes. But the focus should not be on Trump and his taxes but the Clinton Crime Foundation and their abuse of position and power. It is interesting to see how the Democrats and Hillary's supporters manage to fool the public day in and day out and deflect attention from the things that should be thoroughly investigated.What if it wasn't legal? Would that change your outlook on him not paying taxes?
Get back to us when Trump actually doesn't pay income taxes. This new campaign of slander doesn't speak well for Hillary or any of her devotees.
Did anyone here cal them free loaders or is this just an attempted derail?
Please leave that for another thread. I'm really interested in the beliefs of people about whether or not we should emulate someone who doesn't pay taxes and calls that smart. Not paying taxes because you had a business loss in one year is not "smart", it's just what you do. Trump did call Hillary's hypothetical claim of maybe not paying taxes "smart".(snip)But the focus should not be on Trump and his taxes(snip)

Is it? I'm asking, regardless of whether or not Trump paid taxes.

No, it isn't. The subject of the thread is to plant the idea that it's true and generally known to be true..The subject of the thread is the attitudes of people towards Trump's not paying income tax (assuming those allegations are true).

Is there a single reader of this thread who is going to step forward and say "I want to pay more taxes than I am legally required to?"

Yes, why not?
If I had more than I needed and others had less than they needed to survive, then I would indeed pay more.

You mean because Hillary Clinton suggested it without any evidence.
I'm not speaking hypothetically here. Do you intentionally pay more taxes than you are legally obligated to pay, or do you try to minimize the taxes you pay?
The onus is on Mr Trump on this one. If he pays income tax then it is easy enough for him to prove it.
If he doesn't, with all his purported riches, then he is beneath contempt.
