That's where we differ as I don't think it's shady to reduce my tax burden and if I do it yearly I see no way I can then claim others are shady for doing the same.  

Are people actually suggesting that he should have done his taxes in a way where he had to pay more tax then he needed to?

Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then. No point in debating any further.

So.....apparently Trump taking a loss during the same 90's recession that adversly affected my family does not mean that he should get tax breaks to an equivalent amount in the following years....

At first I though the journalists pedalling this garbage simply didn't understand how the tax system works. However the New York Times (who helped instigate this whole thing) didn't pay any tax in 2014 - so obviously management there are using the same accountant trickery that Trump and other wealthy people have access to, while at the same time approving these hypocritical articles regarding Trump.

Everything Trump and the NY Times have done tax-wise is perfectly legal. They both have a responsibility to shareholders to pay as little tax as possible. (For the record, I think buying shares is tantamount to gambling and will never do it. Particularly as speculation is the achilles heel of free market capitalism).

The fact that the mainstream media would risk time in jail (by releasing Trump's tax returns without his authority, I presume....) and at the same time show such obvious hypocrisy, reeks of desperation. It shows that they have become so detached from reality that the public no longer trust them and they are resorting to extreme measures to ensure that this man does not get in.

Reading all these articles at first I thought Trump was a complete lunatic. But so much has been taken out of context. He is inconsistent on many issues, but he is far from the raging white supremacist monster that he is made out to be. I'm Australian so it took me a while to even bother fact checking all these stories, but now that I have compared what has been said by Trump to what the lying mainstream media say about him, I honestly believe that he may be able to fix the broken American system that is dragging the rest of the world down with it.
