Wrong: Trump paid millions of dollars in property taxes ($36 million per year?) and he pays payroll taxes for his employees.

While president he cut our taxes but most people are unaware and don't even prepare their taxes so they don't know.

Tenpoundbass says

THat's some low information bottom feeding analysis you got going on there. Firstly everything Trump got done, he did so through executive orders, or a Supreme Court ruling. His Congress made sure nothing he wanted done got done.

Having said that, I would hope you took the most rudimentary steps to learn some basic history about the Country you immigrated to.
You would then know, Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the Tax code, his paid accountants invoke on his tax returns.

American Harder Farmer!

You should immigrate to Russia or China or Hindooland, If you love "dear leader" worship. I am better American than you.
He used every loophole available to not pay taxes, He is no messiah..He is like others dodging taxes by toying tax code... while I pay 50+ cents on every additional dollar I earn.

FarmersWon says

everyone does that. noone is stupid enough to voluntarily give money to this fag government if they aren’t forced

Look if he did anything wrong with the tax code, the IRS would have stabled his balls on the Google Homepage.
You sound like Liz Cheney.

You are the one making him messiah.. I am saying He is one of them.

That’s how business works. Amazon was still getting rebates instead of paying taxes as long ago as three years, and it’s an absolutely massive company. Trumpco is pretty large as well. If the accountants at such corporations do not use every deduction and trick to minimize the tax the company pays, they will be swiftly fired. And if a CEO for some wild reason tells them to not use those deductions, he will be replaced by the board or fired by the investors.

Tax law is deliberately written by our supposed “representatives” to be very favorable to the mega wealthy and very unfavorable to wage slaves like most of us.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game?

If cheating your country and not paying fair tax is the the "motto of life", Then at least those should stop "patriot American" drama....
As someone down the food chain has to pay... and they are paying 50 cents + of every dollar they earn.

There is no game without players and organizers.
Should middle class be happy about this stuff?

They worried that northern hemisphere cooling caused southern hemisphere drought and crop failures.

There's an old issue of National Geographic that's all about the "problem"

Edit...

The leaked Trump tax returns are just an open invitation to rile up the low-information voters through selective reporting. The article stated that, for the years in question, Trump had business losses. How much tax do you propose Trump pay on negative amounts of income? The article doesn't claim Trump lied on his reporting to hide actual gains — that would be newsworthy but is unsupported by what appears to be the facts in this situation.

The hit-piece article then goes on for several paragraphs about social-security and other payroll taxes. Well, guess what? Trump doesn't work a regular job and collect a paycheck, so he doesn't pay into social-security (although his companies pay part of employees' social security). When Trump retires, he won't be collecting social security payments either, so it cuts both ways.

That's from a television show called "In Search Of" - I used to watch re-reruns of it in the 1990's, because it came on after the Simpsons. A friend and I used to get stoned for the Simpson, watch it again through a vcr rewind, laugh at all the stuff we missed, and then watch In Search Of, because it was so surreal.

In Search Of is just a bunch of conspiracy theories, people with ESP, stuff about ancient astronauts and UFOs. The 1970's was filled with that kind of stuff. 1970's was kind of an anti-science decade in my view.

Is Trump a bad businessman who always have loses?..year after year..or fudging to hide income.
By the way this is not just him, All the fat cats are same.. But at least many don't do patriotism drama.

Your clearly not upper middle class. Tax accountants are not that expensive. Big business shouldn’t pay tax imo. They should hire more and more people at higher wages who pay tax.

keeprubbersidedown says

Big business shouldn’t pay tax imo.

They don't, they just collect tax for the government. Taxes are paid by individual earners and individual consumers.

Since the IRS hasn't leaked Trumps return it might not happen unless he runs again. IMO people withholding on a w4 is the problem with small income.

Certainly upper middle class, But can't pay millions to full time staff.
You need to know lot more.

Inside the Shadowy Industry Where the Uber-Rich Pay Millions to Hide Trillions

No middle class can hire something like this...
A recent exposé showed how billionaires dodge taxes on their wealth. The bigger scandal is how the rich pay an army of lawyers, accountants, and more to hide trillions from any government

FortwayeAsFuckJoeBiden says

he is honest about what?.. He lies probably more than anybody else.
The only good can come out of him is that he is a misfit, whose scandals don't fit into elites way of scamming people...so obviously results in some spills for common people due to infighting.

@patrick, Your american privileges are from Hindoo loot. Pay respects to Hindoos .. as your existence is based on their loot.
You and your fellow Americans didn't earn it but looted from Hindoo.

Seems to me that in order to have a few years of losses, you would have to have had some years of gain previously. Otherwise, you wouldn't have any assets to go down in value and generate losses. When those assets or other assets previously went up in value, I assume he did pay taxes. Yes?

Perhaps Trump has done some shady tax things, but that article doesn't really point them out. So, you post the article with your own title of "Trump is classic example of Tax Cheats." What about that article supports your claim?

Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's namesake company was found guilty on Tuesday of scheming to defraud tax authorities.

Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said the verdict would be appealed.

Machine translation:

There are many reasons why you can use a cell phone jammer. Some of them can be used legally with permission from local government. Cellular jammers are commonly used when the cellular signal is blocked and unable to ring for security reasons or due to enforced cellular silence. A cell phone jammer is a device that blocks cell phones from receiving signals from base stations. When used, the jammer effectively disables the phone. These devices can be used almost anywhere, but calls to these places are particularly susceptible to interference, mainly because they need to be silent.

Different countries have different laws regarding the use of cell phone jammers. Mexico, for example, has no laws against these devices, while private use of phone locks is illegal in the US and most western countries. But the tide is changing. Japan allows the installation of frequency jammers in public places such as theaters and concert halls, but requires a government-issued permit. France's industry minister has approved a decision allowing cinemas, concert halls and theaters to be set up while emergency calls can still be made. Canada believes a blockade could also be imposed in similar circumstances. However, Industry Canada, which oversees Canada's telecom operations, decided against the move, arguing that the devices could interfere with communications with police, violate personal liberties and endanger public safety. regulatory and security authority.

If you have an important meeting and someone's phone suddenly rings, even if you tell them to turn off the phone before the meeting, it can be annoying. To solve this problem, mobile jammers were invented. If you need a more powerful phone jammer, you can choose a high-performance phone jammer, which can not only improve the work efficiency of company employees, but also protect confidential data loss.

The high power cell phone jammer has the powerful ability to block different frequency signals simultaneously or separately. In addition to different gps jammers, the best mobile jammers also have different applications. Some of them are designed for bomb handling and VIP protection during combat and security. Others are designed for police forces. In addition, some cell phone jammers even have waterproof and shockproof features, which can work in harsh environments and can be easily controlled both outdoors and indoors.

Of course, buying a cell phone jammer is an inexpensive and convenient way to block all those naughty mouths that annoy you in public places. If you intend to buy such devices, you must first familiarize yourself with how the devices work. Many people think that wifi jammers are expensive and hard to come by, but the truth is that many companies offer them and you can definitely find them somewhere. The function of a cell phone jammer is essentially to block the frequencies used by cell phones - in most cases these are 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz and it is important to know what frequencies are being used in your area . Each device supports different frequencies and you should buy the one that suits your needs. Of course, there are also special products that support different frequencies, which can be adjusted according to your needs.

All in all, with a cell phone jammer, you are the safest operating system without a cell phone, you really won't find anyone. But today, many people are turning to smartphones because they offer us many features compared to regular mobile phones. However, these mobile devices are notoriously vulnerable and contain large amounts of sensitive data. They know where we are, they know who we're communicating with, they know what we're talking about.

It's the Nazi Jammer! Goose step your way to absolute security and privacy!

Do you have to shit in a hole in the floor or do they have toilets?
Paper or Finger?

Why do I need to know any of this?

Are you an advertiser or something?

This city allows 24x7 prostitution.

Caveat emptor.

@patrick

I think you have an unauthorized advertisement OP.

@Patrick

You got another advertisement disguised as a post.

Illinois, NJ, NYS, MA: "Shitty roads despite massive spending is because of the freezing and thawing during winter conditions many months out of the year"

CA: "Uh, um, er.... you're a racist?"

I think it's just the inevitable result of corrupt one-party rule.

The really don't care because there is no possibility of being voted out in California.

Your tax money is simply distributed as crazy large pensions to the various public unions in return for votes, or for guaranteeing election fraud if the vote gets too close to some Democrat actually losing.

I flattened a tire and deformed the rim and thought I took out suspension getting onto Pleasanton onramp to 680. I hit something, but I never exactly saw what it was. Big O was able to find the tire and a matching replacement rim for $$$, said suspension was OK but I think I need new shocks at some point.

I remember that road but it's been 11 years. I was dating a chick in Pleasanton so would drive it pretty often. Have you ever noticed that dome-home under the wind turbines? My buddy was dating a chick that lived in that so the 4 of us hung out there one night. When you're that close to the wind turbines the sound is super eerie. Because it is a dome you can imagine what the walls would look like inside. It's not what you think. Basically they are normal walls that just don't reach the ceiling so you can hear everything everywhere. Not sure why someone would want to live in that place - I didn't ask.

Move dude! Roads are quite nice in Texas unless you're in some rural area. Even then it beats CA.

Roads are horrible here and they held them hostage by putting street repaving projects in a catchall over half billion dollar bond measure that also included new affordable housing, improved wildfire safety, restoring crumbling public facilities, upgrading parks and preparing local infrastructure for a changing climate. Needless to say, it did not pass...

Government employee retiree perks take priority.

You knew that.

Sheesh.

Add 580, 880 and most importantly 101 to the list. After all the fancy measures have been passed to improve freeways, I kind of feel that these freeways will be more or less the same for decades to come.

Looks like Houston roads

Here how this works:
Government well connected contractor win bid for doing work for $100M. Then he is selling this job to subcontractor for $50M. Then this is selling job to his subcontractors for $25M. The last one has to use low quality materials and cheap labor to make some money on project.
