and what money he did make , he welched on those responsibilities.

Just like he welched on contractors in Atlantic City.

Guessing our resident Libertarian feels " only an idiot" pays the sheet rock hangers and electricians he contracts.
Bankruptcy.
Perfectly legal

We told you this would happen

it always bears keeping in mind the etymology of idiot:

In ancient Athens contributing to politics and society in general was considered the norm and highly desirable. Being apolitical and selfish was frowned upon and all citizens aspired to be politically active. It was rare for citizens to demonstrate apathy towards what was happening in their state and common issues. The overwhelming majority of Athenians participated in politics to a greater or lesser extent.

Those who did not contribute to politics and the community were known as “Idiotes” (ΙΔΙΩΤΕΣ), originating from the word “Idios” (ΙΔΙΟΣ) which means the self. If you did not demonstrate social responsibility and political awareness you were considered apathetic, uneducated and ignorant. The word was transferred to Latin as “idiota” and was used to describe an uneducated, ignorant, inexperienced, common person.

Considering the above, it is easy to identify how the primary form and meaning of the word mutated to modern“idiot”. Most importantly it is worth noting that ancient Greeks valued political participation and collective governance. A completely different state of mind from what we see in most societies today where most demonstrate apathy to what happens around them.

So it has come to pass that in the world we live in someone who pays more than he should in taxes or even the amount he should, or even someone who gives his life for his country, is considered a loser or sucker. After all what is in it for a person to pay taxes or to risk death as a soldier.

without looking my guess is Democrats were arguing for it and Republicans were the ones arguing against it? Why would it be a blow to the people that didnt want it.
 
The Bidens paid about $3.7 million and $1.5 in taxes for 2017 and 2018, respectively — about a third of their adjusted gross income. They gave roughly $1 million and $275,000 to charity in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Biden easily raked in the most money in the past two years among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates who have released tax returns so far. After the former vice president left the White House in January 2017, the Bidens pulled in millions from Joe Biden’s speaking engagements and books written by both Joe and Jill Biden.

suckers and losers
 
I do

I always round up voluntarily on charities the state tax form gives options to give to


But you know, I live what I speak

Not like you etc
 
nor do I pay more for Tomato Soup at the grocery store.
I pay my bill.

Be it grocery or tax

MFer claimed a deduction of $70,000 for hair styling
Do you not understand the concept of Red Flags ?

He also charges the taxpayer for golf cart rentals at his golf outings.
To his golf club the profits go into his pockets

So not only does he not pay his taxes, he takes your taxes and scams a way to put them in his pocket

I dont know how someone walking around with as much outrage as you
excuses someone literally stealing his money.

Same person I guess that screams tyranny at mandatory masks for societal health reasons
yet misses (turns a blind eye ?) the tyranny of stealing 3 SCOTUS seats, gerrymandering and a POTUS that received 3 million less votes yet still occupies ...

So you send money to that need 43 cents on the dollar to feed the bureaucracy, rather than just donate to charity directly?

Thats dumb

My charitable donations were $16,700 last year. I deducted every penny

He actually did pay taxes and got most of it back on the 70 million dollar tax refund he got for losing so much money. Its curious to me how an audit on this refund could go on for 11 years,

Sounds like optimizing our ****ed up tax code.

Figured you support that but you of course have been broken as well
 
When is Trump going to thank Obama for that new tax cut that he used to get 70 million of his taxes back. I dont give two ****s how much taxes Trump paid, but if he was being honest he would thank Obama for it. Can you admit this was a good policy by Obama since it lowered taxes?
 
Paid $750 in taxes


Owes $410 million to whomever


He’s a failure on every level

Imagine loving this piece of ****

Lol

A lot of bull**** here


The question was who gives more than they owe

I do


Much less actually donations

But I won’t get in your way of you being an idiot lol
 
Trump only appeared to make money from two things. From a share of 2 buildings he partially owns but managed by another real estate company and then 427 million from the Apprentice and all things related to that. Literally everything else he did he lost money on. You can say this doesnt matter but Trump desperately cares about being perceived as a successful buisnessman.


He owes 72 million in loans shortly after the election and then another 100 million each year the 3 years after that with no apparent ability to pay it back. This is truly all or nothing for him. I wonder if little thethe and the Trumpeteers will continue donating to him after he is gone.
