Trump Tries to Shaft Working Families Yet Again!

The Trump Organization wants its tax bill cut in half at one of its high-end golf clubs, part of a longstanding Trump practice of using legal challenges and appeals to lower his corporate tax bills.

“It is very difficult when you see someone who has all these assets at his disposal who would rather pay lawyers to avoid his civic duty of paying taxes,”
said Gloria Fried, the receiver of taxes for Ossining.

Tuesday with the town assessor’s office in Ossining, valuing the course at $7.5 million, or half of the $15.1 million the town calculates should be the tax basis for the course.

This is the same course, spread over 143 acres in Westchester County, that presidential candidate Donald Trump listed on his publicly-filed financial disclosure report as being worth $50 million in 2016.

Donald Trump calls global warming a hoax, until it threatens his golf course.

So appealing your property tax assessment is somehow tantamount to "shafting working families"??? Good grief! What bizarre nonsense flows from the minds of lib-retards like crunchyass!
I know - I was going to explain how it's normal to protest those taxes - hell, I've been down there 6 times. And one time they gave me a break on the property taxes. He's so desperate to hurt Trump - he just doesn't know what he's talking about anymore.

Donald Trump listed on his publicly-filed financial disclosure report that this particular golf club is worth $50 million.


Let's hear you try and defend this: Trump's official financial disclosure saying his property is worth $50 million. He couldn't/wouldn't have lied on that form, right? Yet you Trump groupies say it's ok to ask for taxes on a fart far less valuable property. Middle class families need to pay more in taxes to make up for the drop in town revenue.

So which is it 50 million or 7 Million? Thats a HUGE gap. And it's TRUMP who said it's worth $50 million!!!!!

Is Trump a liar or a cheat?

Are you Trump supporters blanket appologists or just too dumb to see the con Trump is perpetrating?

Your comment on middle class families once again reveals you are trapped in the libtard zero-sum mindset. When taxes are lowered, individuals and businesses have more money to consume, hire and expand, which spells stronger economic growth and higher tax revenues over the long term.

Wake the fuck up and join there real world. Answer the simple question:

The Town of Ossining conducted a town-wide reassessment program and assigned full market value of every property in the Town and Villages for the 2016 assessment roll. This was done to reduce the need for assessments to be appealed. The process was revenue neutral, meaning the purpose was not to increase the total amount of property taxes the town receives.

So, the town didn't go by the 50 million Trump claimed on his official financial disclosure form. They generously assessed full market value at 15.1 M.

And yet Trump wants to STICK it to the rest of the town, who are already paying THEIR FAIR SHARE.

This is how he approaches heathcare: tax breaks for the rich. That's what he wants to do to the rest of the tax codes. Goodbye middle class, hello more millions and billions for the rich.

Trump cares only for himself and his business; nobody else. I cannot even imagine a more selfish, self-serving person. Despicable.

Every year the tax valuation of my home changes based on what the appraisal district believes the housing market has done -- which in my case is usually up. Since I'm fairly certain that my home is worth somewhat more than what is on the tax records, I don't protest my taxes. It is very easy to search the tax records and see what your neighbors house is assessed at and figure out if your house is fairly assessed.
