Considering your response to Mrs. Clinton's email issues where you and RickyP have said, "She didn't break the law"; now you say that Mr. Trump is a problem because he followed the law?
Wow. What a double standard. That is unless you can show what law it is that Mr. Trump violated...
Trump didn't break any laws. And the use of carried losses is a useful tax law because it encourages risk.
However, the way Trumps tax accountant (who says Trump had no notion of what was in his returns or the code, only the bottom line)
was unethical - and should be illegal.
Because Trump didn't lose his own money.
He lost his stockholders money. Stock holders in his casinos were destroyed. But Trump claimed the losses.
(Mark Cuban explains this on Bill Maher's latest show succintly.)But there's a lengthy description of his finangling with his casinos. Everyone else lost money except Donald.
here....
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/nyreg ... -city.htmlSo when Trump says he had a fiduciary duty to his business and familiy but he ignores the fiduciary duty to his stock holders who he screwed over. And his ethical responsibilities to suppliers and employees who were also screwed over...
When Trump says, he knows the tax code and knows best how to fix it ..there's two problems.
1) His own tax lawyer says he didn't know the code.
2) His current tax policies don't indicate any significant changes in the tax code that would change things - either with this particular law nor generally for working families. For the very rich, however .... many benefits.
The people that support Hillary most, are people that have done business with Trump. Who know him best.
The people that support Trump most, just see his tv persona and the myths he propogates and believe he offers knowledge, acumen and talent that he obviously hasn't got. They are projecting on him their own wishes. Perfect example; Peter Thiel, who supports Trump because Trump once said something postivie about single payer health care, of which Thiel is a huge supporter.
The recent revelations (Billy Bush tapes) about his attitudes to women,
should doom him completely. But who knows.
