Or "Those were tough economic times and yet I was still able to turn it around. That is what this country needs since we face a yearly deficit of over a trillion dollars." Anymore?

thebeardslastcall Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Donald Trump lost a billion of his own money, once. Obama and Hillary lost over a trillion dollars of your money, every year, and continue to do so. He gamed the tax avoidance system. They gamed the tax spending and collection systems. Clinton is telling you to jump out of the way of a bee, into the path of a train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Horse Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 They gamed the tax spending and collection systems. Clinton is telling you to jump out of the way of a bee, into the path of a train. When you say gamed, you mean understands? It is not gamed when a Quarterback or Striker avoids the defense and is able to score for his team, it is competency. Though I agree, crack open the Clinton Foundation and suspect you will find some very creative accounting, some of it putting Jackson Pollock to shame.

Donnadogsoth Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! --"If," by Rudyard Kipling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 He lost a billion dollars? I'm outraged! Oh,it was his money? Nevermind. But get this, he then used his loss of an investment to off-set his tax for later years! He followed the law completely and in the manner it is meant to be used for, saving many hundreds, if not thousands of jobs and keeping many people fed, clothed and housed. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini23 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I am not an accountant. Nor a tax expert, but I do have experience running my own small businesses and am friends with a lot of entrepreneurs and self-employed people. There are any number of scenarios that can be discussed on why showing a loss on your tax return can be a good thing for you personally. None of them are illegal. None of them reflect on you as being a bad business person. The problem is that the people who are complaining and acting like business owners are somehow ripping everyone off have never run a business. They do not know what anything costs. They know nothing about the taxes and fees that businesses are hit with. They do not know or understand that if Trump himself was able to take a huge personal loss that doesn't somehow mean his businesses didn't pay a tremendous amount of money into the system. Take employment tax for example. People do not understand that businesses pay more than the employees on this at every level. I challenge anyone to go start your own business. See how much it costs at the City, County, State and Federal levels just to have even a dozen employees. I do believe Trump is brilliant. You don't grow a billion + dollar company by being a fool.

Paul in Sweden Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 State Dept. misplaced $6B under Hillary Clinton: IG report - Washington TimesFriday, April 4, 2014 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. Lost $6 billion? Reading wikileaks leads me to suspect that the funds were embezzled and not the improper filing of contracts or being simply mistakenly applied to different line items on the State Department general ledgers.
