And now for something completely unexpected
just kidding, President Trump is swiping at The New York Times again.
The Times had a major scoop yesterday when they released an extensive review on the Trump familys financial history. The report suggests the president has engaged in multiple dubious practices over the years to avoid paying taxes while inheriting a colossal part of his fortune from his fathers business empire.
The report goes a long way in disputing Trumps self portrayal as a self-made multibillionaire, and as you can see, he has noticed this with obvious disapproval.

(4,533 posts)Interest from nineties on is a killer for old tax penalties. And I googled a bit. Somebcivil penalties were 75% of tax wrongly not paid. If the 55% estate and gift tax applied to 500 million was fraudulently low balled as 50 million then he may owe half a billion just for that. And it seems there was a lot more fraud on the income tax side.

(22,166 posts)pay their fair share of taxes (and I'm sure that there are tons of such people who do pay their fair share) but look at all of the businesses (accountants, lawyers, bankers, etc.) who all sprung up out of thin air to push no tax or tax avoidance schemes everywhere. Look at the recent leaks of the stuff from the firms operating out of Panama, etc.
An entire industry setup solely just for the purpose of avoiding taxes. And the IRS continues to face personnel shortages through lack of funding (deliberate?).
I'd think that if we want to raise taxes to pay off the massive fed. debt being engineered by the Tax cut and jobs bill for the 1%ers of 2018, I'd be smart and hire myself tens of thousand tax accountants and go after these people and entities not just via filed tax forms, but means too, e.g., if they are being driven by limos, live in rather pricey areas, etc. and their tax form(s) show otherwise, what's going on? Better yet, put a commission on recovering tax monies owed to the government (there is one now).

(42,759 posts)Trump likes to brag about the stock market, which is up 36 percent since inauguration day and over 45 percent since election day. The NY Times stock? Its up 72 percent since inauguration day and a whopping 110 percent since election day.
All of my investments should be failing like the NY Times....
