That's because the super wealthy can hire lawyers and evade most bills and taxes

It is because the government wants people to create homes. So the tax laws are written to help them create and own buildings. But they have to stay invested in buildings.

If there wasnt any money in it, you wouldnt have private indivduals doing it. The govt would have to build them. That means the govt would own them. That is Socialism or Communism.

No, American govt wants people to build homes and rehabilitate homes.

In order to have a "fair share" system you would have to have a flat tax. Trump is for a flat tax system with 3 levels. He would not tax minium wage earners. He would tax the rich like himself.

And this is another reason I like his ideas. He is also for a single payer medical system. And he is for protecting the wage levels of Americans by limiting immigration. Hillary wants no limits to immigration. One billion poor could move here to escape poverty in India for example. The result would be a housing boom, and more accounts for bankers, a boom for bankers, but wages would plummet for everyone, accountants, programmers, house painters, etc. You would have rich bankers and poor everyone else. No wonder the bankers support Hillary. The Unions would lose jobs due to her support of Nafta and tpp.

Vote Trump. He is the only one who will protect your wages.

BOMBSHELL: NY Times Finds Trump’s Tax Returns, HASN’T PAID IN 20 YEARS

How's that a bombshell. The man is a very knowledgeable and experienced businessman. As a businessman, do you know who his allegiance HAS to be to, under law? The stakeholders in the companies he controls. His allegiance is not to the government's coffers. To my knowledge he's never been charged with tax evasion by the IRS, hence his tax payments are all legal under the tax code. If you don't want people in the future to not have to pay any taxes in similar situations as those Donald Trump has faced in the past...then FIX THE ****ING TAX CODE!!!

It is immoral of you to somehow hold this against Donald Trump. He operated within US law, and his responsibility is to his stakeholders to make them as much money as possible. The less he pays in taxes, the more he earns for his fellow stakeholders. That's how business works. Do you not understand that? Donald Trump has NO moral obligation to contribute ANY more than is required under law to the coffers of the US Government. So why do you think this is wrong?

It's not Donald Trump that is wrong here. If anything, it is the government's tax code. Work to fix that if you must. But it's immoral and dishonest to claim a moral issue on Trump's part for not paying taxes he doesn't owe.

That's the long version. In short, shut the **** up.

if you dont love America enough to pay your more-than fair share, it's time for you to leave !!!

Trump paid only what was required under US Law. He's never been convicted of tax evasion in his life. So say he pays the government a bunch of money he doesn't owe, from the operations of one of his companies. What is he supposed to tell the other stakeholder's in that company? Part of that money belongs to them?

You don't understand how business works kid. Go read some books, and learn a thing or two about real life.

The Marxists have a few altered slogans they throw at successful capalists. One is: "pay your fair share of taxes".

By creating buildings for businesses., Trump is doing what the govt wants: to build infrastructure.
