There’s a huge difference between a person that avoids taxes and a person that like Trump spends a literal fortune reducing his tax liability. The IRS has seen this loss of $915 million and obviously don’t have a problem with it or they would have caught it in one if his many audits. Trump has also paid his his taxes in the various states and cities he operates in.
Two possibilities. Either you’re “Doug”, or you just copied and pasted a comment from the comments section of the article usmcc linked
Somebody else was also caught with… how do we say it… unoriginal thoughts? If they aren’t your words, quote it.

Deja Vu all over again, 
To @Bismark 's credit, he has been as of late, more than diligent in citation, and more helpful to the lesser students
OK he also maybe learning some Texas charm

Absolutely comical. Trump’s camp keeps trying to spin this tax story but there is no way a sane person is buying it. Let the train wreck continue.
Wasn’t Romney the one who said he should release his returns early so any bad news would be old news by the time people are voting? Well… here we are.

Saved me the trouble of retyping it. Last I checked none of us are getting paid to post here
Now How about addressing the point
Ya, no one has disputed the above…
The IRS audits like 1% of returns, Doug. Maybe Trumps personal return was flagged and audited, but it’s unlikely.

You mean the point of Trump talking about Obama’s 20% rate being too low for his income when Trump isn’t paying any? Or talking about hedge fund managers getting away with murder because they aren’t paying taxes? I’m sure Trump will continue to tell voters that he’s getting away with murder.
No, you were pretending those words were yours. There is a difference. I’ve copied and pasted before, slap some quote on it and say from the comments section. I’m not surprised that your lack of intellecual honesty includes pretending other people’s words are yours, but cmon.

Most people frown upon plagiarism.
No, but people have an expectation that the other posters are acting in good faith. Otherwise, this would be completely pointless.

Trump has talked to great lengths about simplifying the tax code so not only people at the top who can afford a team of accountants can minimize their tax liability. Expecting a businessman to not act in the best interest of his business is an expectation only idiots hold.
I type my posts from my job much of the time from my cellphone. I don’t particularly care if I copy and paste all that matters is the argument
In good faith of what? This is an Internet message board on a bodybuilding website
This would have been an easy spin for Trump if he was even remotely competent.
He should have came out with it in the first debate and pinned it on the “Career Politicians” like Hillary that have enabled tax exemptions for billionaires. He could have then ranted about how his Tax plan was the fairest, would close all the loopholes and be hyooge for the economy. Instead he rants about models and how successful he is…

In good faith, as in, you’re being honest and that your words are your own. Not trolling. Not plagiarising someone else’s argument.
You know, normal people having a normal conversation.

Most points made here are unoriginal. You can cite the source of every place you used to form your opinions I’ll pass. The comment is relevant and not a ttoll
Agreed, which goes back to the same point that’s been made to death here. A seasoned politician would have buried Clinton by now.
She was a gift that could have lead to 50 years of conservative governance. So naturally, Republican’s piss all over it.

There’s a difference between citing a source to back your position and/or giving credit to the author for what you’ve typed and copying and pasting some random dude’s word as if it is your own.
If you can’t see how lazy and dishonest that is then you are beyond hope.
The comment is not relevant here because no one has claimed Trump did anything illegal ie that he’s guilty of tax evasion.
I even wrote a paragraph about how little this matters to me.
This is his personal tax return… How is it in his business’ best interest for Trump to not pay income taxes?
Are you really trying to defend plagerism as being the same as listening, reading, watching, and then forming your own opinions?
You copy, pasted, and pretended they were your words. They weren’t.
As usmcc said: “If you can’t see how lazy and dishonest that is then you are beyond hope.”
See how I did that?

You really care about anonymous Doug from an Internet article
You are more than intelligent enough to understand what Drew and I are saying.
