A little off topic, but not meaning to be "political", but I just don't understand why everyone thinks Pres Trump is somehow skating on his taxes. With the financial revenues this guy deals with, he would most definitely be scrutinized by the Internal Revenue Service for audits and re-audits and re-re-re audits year after year after year. If he (or his financial wizards) can find and use tax credits, loop holes, and other ways to legally use all the available tax credits to HIS advantage, AND all this is already scrutinized by the IRS, then how can ANYONE question anything about his finances. Think about it folks? The more money one makes, the more you are scrutinized by the IRS. If all your ducks are NOT in order, they will find the errors and .... BELIEVE ME, I KNOW .... they will get their due money. If they don't .... they seize your assets. I saw my in-laws go through this from a horribly failed business venture they attempted and then tried to false report their income.
And a CHURCH I was attending years ago was under IRS scrutiny for the way their pastor was being paid and NOT being reported correct. They almost lost the church ... yes ... a church!
So while everyone is harping about how unethical or crooked Mr. Trump is, think about it folks .... He's not crooked. Actually, he's squeeky clean, coming through year, after year, after year financial audits BY the IRS. And if the IRS is satisfied, then his business IS HIS business, not ours or anyone elses, any more than you'd want your financial shared to the public masses. Think about it.
Sorry, I had to vent. This post may get deleted. I understand if it is.
x2...I agree.
He has Attorneys, Audits, CPA's, Accountants, Bookkeepers, and they will use every LEGAL tax code to the companies advantage, just like every company can in this country.
The politicians approved of these Tax Codes and loopholes and now want to bully him, LOL. What hypocrites.
The IRS will go after him if he falsified his taxes.
His taxes are not anybody's business. They should be kept private. If there is a problem, the IRS will audit and go after him. That is their job. Not the job of politicians demanding those returns, and not some Joe average citizen who "thinks" they know what taxes were paid or not. They just want to tear this person apart, find any dirt they can, and continue to obstruct and harass this person.
Wealthy people give billions of dollars to charity, hospitals, the arts, Churches, many charitable organizations who rely on those donations. Tax them 70% and those donations will dry up.
We do not have a tax problem.
We have a spending and waste problem.
