Here we sit
Simply hoping that all this evidence against him being qualified to lead a country prevents him from being re-elected
I won’t count the chickens before they hatch
I really hope that enough people are wise enough not to vote for him
Ugh, not far away now...

I hope enough people are motivated to vote in the election, and in that election, those extra voters take into account all of his fuck ups and vote against him. But this is the same country that thought it was a good idea to dump fresh, clean drinking water over our heads as a way to raise money for ALS, instead of just, you know, donating money.

Many years ago, I did my taxes using Tax Act or TurboTax, can't remember which. I worked a low paid job and had a tiny bit of interest from a small savings account, nothing more. I accidentally transposed two digits. Yes, should have double and triple checked.

I was audited. I saw right away what happened. I sent an apology letter, explained the mistake, paid the difference. They returned my check saying they would send instructions. Instructions tacked on interest and penalties. I appealed on grounds it was honest mistake and not attempt to evade taxes, I was very low income and the interest and penalties would cause severe hardship. They denied appeal, and delay added more interest. I ended up paying about five times original amount.

IRS has had budget cut by anti tax Republicans so they now only audit poor people who don't have tax dodges and can't hire lawyers.

This from last year, almost seems intentional:

Humphreys County, Mississippi, seems like an odd place for the IRS to go hunting for tax cheats. It’s a rural county in the Mississippi Delta known for its catfish farms, and more than a third of its mostly African American residents are below the poverty line. But according to a new study, it is the most heavily audited county in America.

The asshole has NEVER been held accountable for anything in his life. Neither have the cum stains he calls his children. Why does anyone think that is going to change now??? He’s even MORE unaccountable. And his deplorable base thinks he’s a “smart” business man for avoiding taxes, despite the fact that he had to lose hundreds of millions to be able to get that write off. How can it be that 30-40% of Americans were dropped on their heads at birth????? Christ, the worse this clown looks the more his base loves him. If that is the “real” America, Then we are soooooooooooooooooooo more fucked than we ever thought we could be.

I think the safest conclusion you can come to is that 30-40% of the country chews on led paint like it's candy.
 
Very curious to see if poor people will STILL support this guy? Like they can look past ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT, but what about this? They are making minimum wage and paying taxes...... I'd be heated if I was in their situation and this glorious leader was getting away with this.

I think a lot of Trump supporters earn so little, they themselves don’t pay any taxes, so they don’t see a problem with it. Those of us who do pay taxes are footing the bill for these deplorables. And these are the people who say socialism is bad.........

Because some of them are dumb enough to believe this is god's plan.
 
If he's filing his taxes legally I don't see a problem. Why would you pay more tax than you owe?

not a trump supporter but I agree with why pay more than you owe if you are doing everything legal.

The question still left to be determined is whether he filed his taxes legally............

This doesn't even address his Bank of Cypress money laundering...it's only his Deutche bank loans and shady write offs....I imagine Trump has tax shelters far removed from the IRS records and I imagine Clinton has them too.
 
Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. If you don’t want to pay taxes, then move the fuck out of America. That said, taxes were never meant to support extravagant lifestyles of rich tax cheats. If Don and family lose enough money annually to avoid paying taxes, they shouldn’t be existing on our dime in the life style to which they have become accustomed......and to which they obviously feel very entitled to.

My son worked part time at a movie theater last year for 4 months during his freshman year at college. While making minimum wage, he paid roughly $1,200 in taxes....... how could the idea that Trump is doing ANYTHING legally?

One of the reason I would support a fed flat tax so the elite rich cant jump through loop holes.
States need to do a better job of accountability as well.
 
This is where our federal tax dollars go: (ridiculous defense spending aside, Trump having contributed essentially 0 to this is mildly irritating to me, no matter the legality of his actions).
