Why should I care about Trump's tax returns from decades ago? I want every person to be able to do whatever it is they can to pay no taxes. Starve the leviathan.

Nope. I just know that they don’t know either. But I do suspect that if Trump had the goods he wouldn’t have had to lie about it for decades and would have presented it to anyone he could.

They literally have no valid way to determine this, unlike most wealthy individuals who have significant stake in public stock. And they often have to use the inflated wealth reported by Trump, started when he pretended to he some business associate decades ago. 

Maybe most significant is trying to determine his debt, with potentially $2 billion in liabilities between solely and partially owned assets.


We have a damn dodgeball master on our hands over here.

I still can't talk myself into caring about Bernie's, or Beto's, or Booker's tax returns.

Of course Buckeye and strongsafety aren't trying to convince me to care about those.

That's correct. Just like your assertion that he has "fake wealth". You know absolutely nothing of his worth.
Trump has owned or had a partnership in 512 business ventures as of 2016, do you care to guess what percentage of those had a bankruptcy filing?

I do, care to take a stab? I'll give you a hint: it's less than 5%.

I don’t have to dodge anything and rely on a liar’s estimation that has changed by billions in the matter of 2 days worth of interviews.

But his Civil War knowledge is the most impressive, with the battle he made up and commemorated on one of his properties.

How many of the bankruptcies were actually restructurings, which is a common tool used by businesses all over America? Just like his taxes, is Trump supposed to not utilize the same tools that everyone else has available?

Seriously, why are you melting right now?

I’ve seen you argue just to argue forever on this board but this is definitely a melt tonight.

Yes. Many of those are just shell LLC’s that hold debt for his other business properties. But hey if I hold 999 LLCs that have $999 combined in assets, but go bankrupt and lose everything in the 1 LLC that has $10,000,999 in it, I may have lost $10,000,000, but only 0.1% of my businesses went bankrupt.

Exactly my point that you can only rly on the NYT’s interpretation of a tax return. There’s a lot more to a family business’ taxes than one shareholder’s 20 year old tax returns.

I didn’t sleep last night, but I just did a workout and got some strange combination of exhaustion and post-workout euphoria.

How many of his entities have gone bankrupt? How did you come across the info on the “shell” LLCs?
