New York Times: Trump Paid No Federal Taxes For 18 Years

Sistine Chapel's Avatar


The Trump camp is not denying it all they're saying is that documents uncovered were obtained illegally. When you basically lose $1B USD in a single year and use that as a tax shelter it clearly shows you're not a shrewd business man at all. This guy has done nothing to benefit this country his entire life. From hiring undocumented workers, to having his Macy's products made in sweat shops around the world and then sold in the US, to duping thousands of small businesses god help us all if this buffoon is elected.

The newspaper said that tax experts it hired to analyze Trump’s records said tax rules which are especially advantageous to wealthy filers would have let Trump use his $916 million loss to cancel out an equivalent amount of taxable income over an 18-year period.

and to you Trump apologists and sympathizers please spare me the excuses. This guy is running on a platform of he's best for this country because of his business acumen but all I see is him filing for bankruptcy half a dozen times, getting bailed out by wealthy middle eastern billionaire sultans, and losing money left and right, and not paying any taxes and claiming it's because he's smart when in reality he's not paying taxes because he's stupid and keeps losing money hand over fist.

Good god.

I guess you have a greater net worth than Trump does, then.

Dizzzy lies from the get go on this one. The New York Times actually wrote that Trump MAY have paid no taxes in 18 years. They don't know and neither does Dizzzy. It's all hype. Now, if it is true then the store goes on to say that it is all legal because of the tax code that was written by democrats to benefit Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs. This seems to the best they have, pull another Harry Reid and just tell a straight up lie.

We have your number Dizzzy, you have zero credibility.

Of course Dizzzy dutifully avoids looking at the Clinton Criminal Iniative. Billions come in and only a few million go out. I know, they say that people in Africa got AIDs medicine and the people in Haiti got help. Did they? The people of Haiti think they got ripped off. In any event, this is a standard con. Here's how it works, rent a venue (more accurately have someone donate a venue), choose a great person in the community, sell tickets (it's a charity event) to attend said event to honor this great person, oversell the event knowing that most people will not show up, have a few snacks but no real food, buy a trophy to give as an award, hold the event, and pocket the extra money of which there will be plenty. No one argues with a charity event especially if the point is to honor a local hero and not raise money that has to be accounted for later.

So for the feeble minded; start a global iniative, collect money from everyone, spend some money in high profile public events and use the rest to raise your lifestyle and charge it to the charity with it's very beneficial tax laws. That doesn't even mention the politics which would mean corruption on a grand scale.

BILL CLINTON'S GREAT SKIVVIES GIVE-AWAY
By Lloyd Grove December 28, 1993
It's that time of year again, Mr. President.

Time to celebrate the lingering Yuletide spirit and the bright promise of the year to come. Time to savor the companionship of friends and family.

Time to donate your underpants to a charitable organization so you can later claim a deduction on your 1993 tax return.

If the recent past is any guide, Bill Clinton and his wife, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, have been spending the past few months gathering up unwanted belongings -- from old shoes to shower curtains to jogging shorts to, yes, apparently used underwear -- carefully enumerating each item alongside dollar amounts on handwritten lists, and giving the lot to such worthy causes as the Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries.

The Clintons' tax returns over the past decade -- which "obviously were prepared with an eye toward being released," according to White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers -- are rife with detailed supporting documents that may someday prove a rich boon to historians and psychohistorians studying the forces that shaped the Clinton presidency.

As political figures are wont to do, particularly those with White House aspirations, the Clintons have over the past few years thoughtfully disclosed their tax returns, providing citizens with a fascinating window on a heretofore unexamined aspect of their lives.

Several experts were consulted about Clinton's tax-deductible donations, especially of underwear. Paul Offenbacher, a longtime Washington-area tax accountant, said it is highly unusual to take an itemized deduction on donated underwear; indeed, he had never heard of such a thing. Adelphi University psychology professor George D. Goldman, a New York-based psychoanalyst who studies the unconscious symbolic meanings in human behavior, said the donations are, at the very least, fodder for intriguing speculation.

State Department Misplaced $6B Under Hillary Clinton
IG report reveals incomplete, lost contract files worth $6B


BY: Adam Kredo
April 4, 2014 12:10 pm

The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly released Inspector General report.

The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.

The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”

The report centered on State Department contracts worth “more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to the alert.

“The failure to maintain contract files adequately creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” the alert states.

The situation “creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file,” the report concluded.

The State Department’s inability to properly file its paperwork is causing most of the losses, according to the report.

The IG “found repeated examples of poor contract file administration” over the years, the report said.

Contracts related to the U.S. war in Iraq, for instance, could not be produced in 33 out of 115 instances, according to the report.

“A recent OIG audit of the closeout process for contracts supporting the U.S. Mission in Iraq revealed that contracting officials were unable to provide 33 of 115 contract files requested in accordance with the audit sampling plan,” the report states.

The value of the 33 “missing files” totaled $2.1 billion, according to the report.

Additionally, 48 of the 82 contract files that were produced “did not contain all of the documentation required by” internal regulations, according to the report.

The 48 “incomplete files” were worth another $2.1 billion, according to the report.

A further audit of the department’s Bureau of African Affairs found that administrators “were unable to provide complete contract administration files for any of the eight contracts that were reviewed.”

These contracts were worth $34.8 million.

The investigation also found instances in which a company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee was not properly documented.

“In the case of work undertaken by OIG’s Office of Investigations, one investigation revealed that a contract file did not contain documentation reflecting that modifications and task orders were awarded to the company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee performing as a Contract Specialist for the contract,” the report states.

The contract in question was worth $52 million.

So, SLOBBRIN, you, like all the Trumpites, seem to think if you deflect and scream it repeatedly that people will forget the question.

WRONG!

Drumpf may not have paid taxes for two decades. If he'd fucking release them, we'd know.

But I think we can surmise that he's definitely hiding something improper at best and at worst, illegal.

Either way, he's going to have to clarify this of he's dead meat BEFORE he starts talking about marital infedity. Which, by the way, is probably TLTL. The people really want to know if this blustery buffoon has any plans for America that don't include Twitter wars with beauty queens and Rosie O'Donnell.

You should be aghast. Instead, you continue to give this psychopath a pass,

Losers.

Glad it's settled in your weak little mind, gfeclunker.

Kinda like when Drumpf announced that Obama was born in America. period.

This shit isn't settled, it's just beginning.

One candidate will talk policy moving forward. THe other will continue write bullying graffiti online at 3am.

Reptillay Rotgut Clitface and her RAPIST beard of a husband stole billions of dollars of tax payer/donated monies. Haitian people are some of the poorest people on the face of the earth...


by DINESH D'SOUZA July 18, 2016 4:00 AM @DINESHDSOUZA It filtered money through Haiti and back to itself. EDITOR’S NOTE: The following article is excerpted from Dinesh D’Souza’s new book, Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.” Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. And in May 2015, they were back, this time outside New York’s Cipriani, where Bill Clinton received an award and collected a $500,000 check for his foundation. “Clinton, where’s the money?” the Haitian signs read. “In whose pockets?” Said Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.” Haitians like Andre may sound a bit strident, but he and the protesters had good reason to be disgruntled. They had suffered a heavy blow from Mother Nature, and now it appeared that they were being battered again — this time by the Clintons. Their story goes back to 2010, when a massive 7.0 earthquake devastated the island, killing more than 200,000 people, leveling 100,000 homes, and leaving 1.5 million people destitute. The devastating effect of the earthquake on a very poor nation provoked worldwide concern and inspired an outpouring of aid money intended to rebuild Haiti. Countries around the world, as well as private and philanthropic groups such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, provided some $10.5 billion in aid, with $3.9 billion of it coming from the United States. Haitians such as Andre, however, noticed that very little of this aid money actually got to poor people in Haiti. Some projects championed by the Clintons, such as the building of industrial parks and posh hotels, cost a great deal of money and offered scarce benefits to the truly needy. Port-au-Prince was supposed to be rebuilt; it was never rebuilt. Projects aimed at creating jobs proved to be bitter disappointments. Haitian unemployment remained high, largely undented by the funds that were supposed to pour into the country. Famine and illness continued to devastate the island nation. The Haitians were initially sympathetic to the Clintons. One may say they believed in the message of “hope and change.” With his customary overstatement, Bill told the media, “Wouldn’t it be great if they become the first wireless nation in the world? They could, I’m telling you, they really could.” I don’t blame the Haitians for falling for it; Bill is one of the world’s greatest story-tellers. He has fooled people far more sophisticated than the poor Haitians. Over time, however, the Haitians wised up. Whatever their initial expectations, many saw that much of the aid money seems never to have reached its destination; rather, it disappeared along the way.

Bill Clinton’s pardon of fugitive Marc Rich continues to pay big
By Peter Schweizer January 17, 2016 | 6:00am
Fifteen years ago this month, on Jan. 20, 2001, his last day in office, Bill Clinton issued a pardon for international fugitive Marc Rich. It would become perhaps the most condemned official act of Clinton’s political career. A New York Times editorial called it “a shocking abuse of presidential power.” The usually Clinton-friendly New Republic noted it “is often mentioned as Exhibit A of Clintonian sliminess.”

Congressman Barney Frank added, “It was a real betrayal by Bill Clinton of all who had been strongly supportive of him to do something this unjustified. It was contemptuous.”

Marc Rich was wanted for a list of charges going back decades. He had traded illegally with America’s enemies including Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran, where he bought about $200 million worth of oil while revolutionaries allied with Khomeini held 53 American hostages in 1979.

Rich made a large part of his wealth, approximately $2 billion between 1979 and 1994, selling oil to the apartheid regime in South Africa when it faced a UN embargo. He did deals with Khadafy’s Libya, Milosevic’s Yugoslavia, Kim Il Sung’s North Korea, Communist dictatorships in Cuba and the Soviet Union itself. Little surprise that he was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List.

Facing prosecution by Rudy Giuliani in 1983, Rich fled to Switzerland and lived in exile.
