The pro trump narrative on twitter right now is that he was a genius to use the system to get out of paying taxes

Also white supremacists are already against paying taxes so of course they love it when their candidate scams his way out too.

Of course, the trick he probably used to avoid paying taxes is only available to wealthy developers like himself. He's proving that the system is rigged, but it's exclusively rigged in his favor and the favor of people like him. It's a special kind of crazy to think he's going to do anything to improve the system even through burning it all down and letting American start fresh. He's already proven that he's only in it for himself.

Yeah, regular people have that option, but I think you can only carry a loss for 3 years. It seems like overkill to allow 20 years of no taxes no matter what the loss was.

This puts more pressure on him to show he's either paid taxes or acknowledge he's cleared less than a billion in 20 years - during two huge tremendous bull markets during which he should have made buckets of money. I think that would hurt his image more than anything else.

The Washington Post had a good article on this the other day where they even mentioned that this could be great for Trump in the vein of "Of course I gave the Clinton's money, because when I need something they answer the call" in pointing out how the system is broken.

quote:

If Trump were truly smart — and wanted to lead by example — he would have disclosed his tax returns, showed the loopholes he used, and vowed to close them.

I have plenty of problems with the Clintons’ financial behavior, as I wrote. But at least Hillary Clinton is proposing tax code changes that would cost her and her family money. Trump, by contrast, is proposing tax changes that would greatly benefit the commercial real estate business, which is his primary field, and would greatly benefit his own family. And when I asked his campaign last week whether he was proposing any tax changes that would cost him and/or his family any money, I got no reply.

Well, no, even "regular people" can carry forward their NOLs twenty years under Code section 172. The 2/3 year limit is for carrybacks to prior tax years. The thing the article talks about regarding real estate professionals has to do with passive activity losses.

4chan is running out of money

quote:

The infamous message board 4chan is struggling to stay afloat and will have to make changes to reduce costs, the site’s owner wrote in a post on Sunday. "4chan can't afford infrastructure costs, network fee, servers cost, CDN and etc, now," writes Hiroyuki Nisimura, who bought the site from its founder last year.

...parts of 4chan may have to close

But it's ok, they might have a shining knight coming to help them!

Probably what happens is you get caught up on one side, which shifts your weight that way and lets your other leg slide forward until it becomes the new point of contact and gets caught up, the process repeats.
