If Donald Trump really doesn't pay federal income tax...

[Hank77]

I thought if you lost so much in business, you don't pay taxes. Maybe he still would pay taxes on the salary paid to him from his business. He should at least donate a dollar to taxes.

If his corporation/s lost money it would show he isn't the great businessman that he claims to be. He hasn't released any corp. or personal returns, are they both under audit every year? If so why?

 

[Hank77]

You're the boss , right ?

See what I mean?

He has released his financials, which are important in themselves.
And why would he release tax returns from years ago when he wasn't running for office years ago.

This attack against Trump is weak. Hillary knows very well that corporations don't pay income taxes as a matter of the laws that permit that.
She's banking on the ignorance of her base to take her accusations against Trump in this matter and run with it as a personal attack inroad against him. When she knows good and well it isn't a valid attack route against his businesses.

Well.... Trump is claiming that his tax returns are still under audit years after the fact. Apparently they are still looking into 2009 (since Clinton released her tax returns from 1975-2015, what's keeping Trump from releasing his from 1975-2007?)

BTW, the answer to the question is shameless dishonesty.

You have evidence of that?

 

[civilwarbuff]

Just saying, he is not funding his own campaign, all by himself, with no major donors.

Did he say he was going to fund his general election himself for sure or that he was considering it? I think he did fund his primary.....IIRC......

Isn't the reason the ones from 1975-2000 were because Bill was running for office and had nothing to do with hrc? I will give her credit for the ones after that though......

It's hard to pin this down. What I think he did say was that he wouldn't owe anyone favors because he wouldn't be taking donations from large donors, which may be corps. and special interests.
I think he did fund his primary.
Do you know?

 

[civilwarbuff]

He funded about 2/3 of his primary run.

How will Donald Trump fund his general election campaign?
Donald Trump said Wednesday that he doesn't plan to self-fund his entire general election campaign.

"I'll be putting up money, but won't be completely self-funding," the presumptive GOP nominee said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.{More}

Hank , are you a globalist that thinks the US should turn over sovereignty to the UN ?

There is a difference; many groups are invited to campaign events and are eager to go for the exposure they receive........

Republican leaders have said he should release his tax returns.

 

[VanillaSunflowers]

Republican leaders have said he should release his tax returns.

And their under audit. He's no obligation to release tax returns for those years when he was a private citizen. His financials are available as he's released those.
Here's a little something Hillary hopes people don't remember I'm sure. It puts her attack on his taxes into perspective. And again she doesn't have a lot of respect for her base or she'd realize they remember this.

The Shared Secret Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Don’t Want You to Know
Zach Cartwright | April 25, 2016


A new investigation by The Guardian revealed that both Hillary and Bill Clinton registered corporations in Delaware — the former First Lady registered ZFS Holdings, LLC in 2013, just eight days after the end of her tenure as Secretary of State, while her husband registered WJC, LLC to handle his speaking fees. Both companies are registered at 1209 N. Orange Street in Wilmington. The Guardian reports that Mrs. Clinton’s $16 million in speaking fees were sent through ZFS Holdings, LLC in 2014.

Donald Trump, in the meantime, uses the same address for Trump International Management Corporation. Additionally, he has another registered company under the name 40 Wall Street Corporation, and the entity used for the Trump Carousel in Central Park, New York, is also registered at the Corporation Trust Company. The Republican front-runner has a total of 378 corporations registered throughout the tax-friendly state.)More(

He didn't release anything. He filed the required financial disclosure form that all presidential candidates must file. He had no choice in doing this, if he wanted to run.

So, no indication that Trump even know anything about this, correct? No written contract (height of stupidity), no mention about how this verbal agreement was arrived at (phone/email/face), no follow-up verification by email.......This guy seems absolutely incompetent from the word go. I will wait to hear the other side even though the usual suspects won't.

This is old news and disussed early in thread.
