Donald Trump Used Legally Dubious Method to Avoid Paying Taxes

>Donald J. Trump avoided reporting hundreds of millions in taxable income with a tactic so legally dubious that his lawyers said an I.R.S. audit would most likely find it improper.

>Tax experts who reviewed documents for The Times said Mr. Trump trampled a core tax policy tenet by receiving tax benefits for losing vast amounts of other people’s money.

>someone avoided unnecessarily paying more money

Woah

this
I don't get the argument behind "you didn't pay taxes you didn't have to, therefore you are bad" it's absolutely retarded

>there are scum on Sup Forums RN that don't give all their money to the welfare charity

of course it was legally dubious - the tax code in question was implemented by a Clinton after all.v

wtf I hate Trump now

Holy fuck! He used a legal way to not pay taxes? What a fucking deplorable man! Thanks you for correcting the record!

post shoe on head

>dubious

They're really stretching lately

Which was put into effect by none other than Bill Clinton to give huge tax breaks to his rich developer friends. Interesting who opened this can of worms, yet Hillary doesn't publicly state she'll repeal it.

Do you shillfags now see why anyone who isn't a high functioning retard is voting ANYONE but Hillary? It's the only sensible option.

Didn't you know straya? Respecting the law and using the law in your advantage is bad now. Thats why hillary will not go to prison, because its bad to send someone to prison for breaking the law.

>Donald managed to avoid theft via taxes
>Hillary managed to avoid anti-corruption laws
Fuck you OP

>legally dubious

Throwing out anything that will stick at this point. Sad!

Maybe someone in office should fix that. What a bunch of retards.

>liberals
>knowing anything about finance

It's called depreciation. Nothing was lost.

Funny how random unnamed financial experts can somehow derive this from incomplete documents

The NYT excerpt is so little to go on it's really telling how many "tax specialists" have come out of the woodwork to say he's a complete fraud.

When its not their money to give away its so easy for them to say WELL U SHOULD HAVE GAVE IT TO X.

is that masha?

nice

> That's the kind of thinking we need for this country
As POTUS he's going to do with same thing about NATO and UN payments.

NYT used the same tax loopholes Trump did

Hypocrites

дa

If you don't think king Nigger ordered the IRS to fuck Donald anyway they could your a moran and you're shits all retarded and you talk like a fag

You can tell when pol don't read the source article

>lawyers said an I.R.S. audit would most likely find it improper.

well he's under one of those at the moment so he couldn't have been that worried about it

You can have losses roll over each year as a tax deduction. This has been a part of the tax code for some time now. Millions of investors do this every year.

This election is very simple really. GOOD vs. EVIL

>Of course I'm minimising my tax. If anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax they want their head read. As a government I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be paying extra. -- Kerry Packer

I honestly don't see the issue. Finding a loophole proves a problem with the government, not the people who exploit it.

(((nytimes)))

Hrs said from the very beginning of his campaign he wants to fix these tax loopholes and knows he can because he's an expert in using them himself.

He's been honest about using loopholes from the beginning

It's not even a loophole. I'll explain it in simple average joe terms.

>Take out loan of 500,000
>Buy a house with 500,000
>Years later sell house for 300,000 because you can no longer afford the mortgage.
>Loss of 200,000, still owe the bank
>Annual regular income for that year is 100,000
>After the math, still have a 100,000 loss
>No taxable income.

Now imagine if they got rid of this.

Not only are you out of a house, you still owe the bank between 100,000 - 200,000 and nearly 45,000 in taxes on top of it because we no longer count the sale of the house as a loss. Unfortunately your broke.

Next year will be even worse.
