  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You think Trump doesn't pay his taxes? That's very unlikely.

He bragged about not paying his federal income taxes for many years. He also refused to ever release his tax returns.

It would probably be more correct to say that he owed no taxes than to say he didn't pay them.

I'm sure his plan to make massive tax cuts to the top earners will work out great.

The original point was in re to Trump allegedly planning on declining taking a salary as President, & I pointed out that that salary would amount to way less than the taxes he didn't pay for years. Maybe you're right that he exploited a loophole after losing almost a billion dollars in 95 which allowed him to not owe them. Regardless he not only acknowledged not paying them he bragged about it. He also refused to ever release his tax returns.

He'd be in prison if he didn't file his taxes. If he didn't owe anything, then I can't blame him for taking advantage of a broken tax system, I'd blame the politicians who created the broken system.

I can cite credible proof for my claim. And have, can you do the same for yours?

Do you want credible proof that Jeffery Epstein is a convicted pedophile, or that he and Trump were buddies for years?

Be specific in your deflections...

Who else would I blame for the tax system?

Surprising. But then you know how messed up it is with all the strange deductions and loopholes.

Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

He's a terrific guy, that Epstein...

Why is it surprising?
You're under 18. Normally you would be claimed as a dependent on your parents' taxes. I take it you've worked a real job where you were issued a W2?

Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery

Epstein likes to tell people that he's a loner, a man who's never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

I suppose Donald Trump isn't a credible source to you?

But please, continue to pretend that Meryl Streep applauding a director accused of statutory rape is a big deal...

If you earn a high enough salary you have to pay taxes on it no matter your age. Well I'm sure if you've got a $$$ accountant you can find a way around paying them, but we believe paying your taxes is part of being a good citizen. My parents are big on us being responsible. I already have my certification in piano & cello am almost finished with the one for violin. I have been teaching for a couple of years already. The pay at the music centre is based on your certifications & how many students you have, not your age. Lots of kids pick me to teach them. So I'm doing pretty well already!

I pay taxes in the US & in Canada. We're American but we live in Canada. I have shares so I have to pay US taxes on them.

Would say the same for anyone taking advantage of a "broken system"?
I would blame the system more than those using it, so long as they were doing so legally.
