That's not interesting. He's been open about using debt and loss reporting to be smart and avoid paying taxes
The implication thereby being that anyone who pays more than this, which would include every last one of his supporters, is stupid. Not like it would change any of their minds, of course.
How about instead of all the hot takes of this doesn't matter, well, it does matter, if you care about it maybe try to have some conversations with those you know who might be persuadable into it matttering. Just a thought.
You joke but I wouldn't be surprised to see Congress's CARES act "suddenly," be fast tracked for approval
I feel like Trump is gonna fake news this because of NYTs decision to not publish the records.
News: "NYT reports that youclaimed $2.2 million in charitable deductions when IRS allowed only $10,000?"
Trump: "I didn't. Fake news."
News: "then how much did you claim?"
Trump: "10,000."
News: "Can you show us that?"
Trump: "No, I can't release my taxes because I'm under audit"
News: "NYT reports that youclaimed $2.2 million in charitable deductions when IRS allowed only $10,000?"
Trump: "I didn't. Fake news."

Trump: "10,000."

Trump: "No, I can't release my taxes because I'm under audit"
And I am saying, just because I am snarky to someone being holier then thou because they are using this political news to make a completely unrelated point about Biden and the Dems sucking?
End of the day, this post is about Trump. Using it as a pivot to shame people for engaging in the political process isn't it. And I have no problem calling it out.
Yeah as I edited, I didn't realize that it was when the site opened. I found it to be a coincidence and mentioned it. I've already stated I was wrong.
lmao
To stay on topic - yeah, who is surprised? We all knew it. The most frustrating thing about this? Republicans won't care. At all.
Because Trump is "one of them" and that's all that matters. That's all that conservatism is, everything else is lip service and PR. They don't actually value the military, the government, or any of those other things, and hoping you can win them over by trying to embody those attributes isn't going to do the job you think it will.
Conservatives have no principles, they only have in-group vs out-group. The one thing they care bout is Trump's hate, that's the thing that binds them to him. In order to break that spell, you would have to prove that he's not a bigot, and that's maybe the one area where he seems sincere.
EDIT: Found the quote I was looking for, which, oddly, seems to stem from a comment the author left on his own blog:

This is amazing. This doesn't mean nothing folks. Don't let his barrage of bullshit make you numb to victories.
Yep, without publishing the tax records he can just say it's fake.
"They demonstrate that he was far more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life."

Charting an Empire: A Timeline of Trump’s Finances (Published 2020)
Tax records provide a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html">detailed history</a> of President Trump’s business career, revealing huge losses, looming financial threats and a large, contested refund from the I.R.S.
Trump is doing what most rich people are doing. We need to have a serious look at how we can get rich people who are cheating the state out billions (maybe even trillions) of dollars to pay their fair share. This is so ubiquitous, don't make the mistake of thinking it's a special case.
They don't reveal any previous "unreported connections to Russia", which is why i was mainly interested in them.
Oh well.
Oh well.
The article details numerous examples of likely illegal activity but cannot definitively prove any of it given the information they have available to them. We now know where the bodies are buried, so to speak, but they haven't been unearthed yet. We don't know yet if the IRS dug up the bodies but we know they have been searching for them since 2011.
Watch the right going, "Why are you laughing at our President? I thought you Democrats cared about the poor."
I'm just trying to an idea of what a "rich" American is supposed to pay in taxes. If not $750, how much would be a reasonable number?
Those would probably be in separate business records and not these returns. They were talking about it on cnn.
NYT obtains 2 decades of Trump's tax info; he paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won presidency
According to The New York Times, Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency and again during his first year in office.
www.nbcnews.com
Trump on Sunday said the story was "totally fake news" and "made up" although he acknowledged he "didn't know anything about the story" ahead of its publication, which came moments before his press conference began.
Asked about the report stating he paid just $750 in federal income tax in 2016 and again in 2017, Trump said he's "paid a lot of money in state" taxes, though he was not specific about how much.
He again pledged to make his taxes public after the completion of an IRS audit, which he has said for years is why he is not making the documents public.
ha ha ha
NYT already said more is coming. Also that huge payment to Trump for the Ms Universe pageant was rather large
Trust no one.
Can't make that assumption. The tax gap is almost as large as the deficit. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump caught a break.
Cares is dead as of Friday. New bill coming this week, and I agree that Trump will want it passed.
