“Honest people have nothing to fear”

 

Does your personal business including being on national TV on a daily basis? Do you think movie companies write off the expense of having hairstylist and makeup people? If you take a client to the movie you can deduct, if you take them to dinner you can deduct, if your cloths are required and used exclusively for work you can deduct like my steel toe shoes I had to wear.

And the fact is you want to hold Trump to a different standard than you who admits he takes all the deductions and credits allowed. Why is that?

And when the IRS charges him with tax fraud let me know, his enemies and their baseless charges are of no interest to me.

 

Looks like he needs a better tax accountant.

 

He doesn't own me anything. I understand that many people in this country believe "Someone" owes them something for various reason but I "Willingly" sold myself for a wage I found acceptable and later in life bid and paid helpers what I thought was fair.. I have never concerned myself with WHAT others made, or paid and as far as the rich goes, it's certainly not my world and I'm certain they have plenty of TAKERS at all levels of importance trying to milk a buck out of them, or if you will "Stress" in trying to keep what he makes or steals

 

LOL @ Dementia Joe = honest

I thought the PF Comedy Hour didn't start til 6pm ET.

Incidentally, when did the IRS announce that Orange Man was dishonest on his returns?

 

Yet another reason not to vote for Cruciferous Vegetable Joe - he can't put competent people around his incompetent self...

 

Shoes hell! Flame retardant stuff is friggin crazy costly OSHA/MSHA clothing and PSE's are ridiculous! But I get you and good point Sir!

 

If trump is paying 70k for haircuts, how good of a businessman could he possibly be? Or is he using bullshit claims to negate his tax burden? He can be playing by the rules and still be a slimy POS that is shirking his responsibility to society. Either way, he sounds like a man not worthy of the highest office in the country.

 

Politicians are at the very ROOT of these so called tax cheats! They put the loopholes in place to keep their money and then their constituent whine because BIG BUSINESS uses them too, comical if you think about it

 

It's a little sick that this is the conclusion you come to. Trump probably makes an order of magnitude more than dementia joe but pays less tax than a walmart manager. And you cheer.

 

So how many people do you employ?

How many people does Trump enterprises employ?

Come now, do be shy!

 

Whats comical is your analysis. The loopholes are put in place FOR big business and politicians take advantage of them, not the other way around. Have you ever heard of a lobbyist?

 

And so he shouldn't be required to pay tax?

 

Come now Joe-joe Brain bleed is nothing more then a civil servant, PAID with you/our tax money.. He is the bottom feeder in the world of taxation and contributions to society compared to Trump..

 

And BY who and for what reason, come on, tell us and we both can laugh and laugh And who and what are the lobbyist lobbying to

 

Not according to the tax data we have. It appears bumbling joe is at least contributing to society, trump is feeding from the teat like a POS leach.

 

Not according to tax laws created and put into place by OUR politicians

Remember old Grandpa Charles Rangel the tax genius, who served from 1971 to 2017 and did WONDERS for the tax codes and big business and folks like Trump LMFAO! Democrats

 

You don't know HOW HE IS PAID? He takes our tax money in the form of PAY and then puts a weeeee bit of it back, damn aren't we lucky to have people like him on our backs and in our pockets for decades and decades

 

I'll assume his base salary is less than trumps. But sure, politicians are scum. Still there's no excuse for a billionaire to pay less taxes than a lower middle class citizen. Go ahead, keep trying to defend it.

 

Then again you're "Assuming" not a billionaire and don't employ 20+k people either.. Clearly Trump does more for this country then Joe-Joe or no offence, you or I

 

I think you're wrong, trump is a net negative. And a jackass. Why do you think he was doing reality tv?

 

And you're wrong on so many levels simply because you can't wrap your head around what his 20+K employee's spend and all the people and business's THEY create with their paychecks.. The problem with people today is, they simply can't see the whole picture and how it all works, all they look for is demons

 

They claim the cow jumped over the moon too.

 

Unlike yourself, I'm not privy to the contents of Trump's tax returns nor do I take the word of The New Duranty Times as gospel.

For the record, my position is if the IRS doesn't have a problem with someone's returns then I don't have a problem with their returns, either. I'm not one of the losers in this country who cares what other people make and what they pay in taxes - all I expect from them is to obey the law we're all expected to obey.

Furthermore, I believe that only a fool would think that anyone should pay the government more in taxes than they are required to pay and they're a hypocrite if they're not paying more than they're required themselves. If I have extra money to donate, it goes to private charities like this in my area, not the corrupt, over-bloated and self-serving cesspool on the north bank of the Potomac.

 

No such thing as honest people in politics, what they fear is people that see them for what they really are!
