If we put chess in public schools we wouldn’t even need foreign smarts

Europe can’t even reign in turkey, and macron’s wife is ugly

Seek Christ Europe, you should poll me for what I think about you

Turkey is meddling and conducting genocide. Hope this helps loser

In a free country you can make money and become rich and give money to your kids, even if you are born dirt poor. You can also shake your fist at the sky and rant about other people being rich if that's your thing. Live your best life!

Here we have a conservative that thinks a haircut for an entertainer should be a tax write off, and I'm the dumb extremist.

I's a fucking TV show that entirely features trump as the main actor who himself has always been closely link to his hair/hair style. I'm sure he had makeup artists on there too. Showbiz is a business just like any other man. You need to pay costs to get to final production.

I disagree, showbuisness is not important enough to deserve tax incentives, how could you argue that Movistar's should get tax breaks but working class people shouldn't be able to write off their clothes that they wear to work or their means of conveyance? We're talking about the vast majority of people in this country vs an incredibly small, and wealthy subset of artists for gods sake. Tell me you think they have tax write offs for any reason other than in the past they had very expensive lawyers. Try and convince me of that!

Lets be reasonable, the news is saying this: Trump also wrote off $95k for a “a favorite hair and makeup artist of Ivanka Trump”

I have every right to be outraged about that and think if they cant trace every penny to whom, than we live in a country this has lost its rocker. Until the news reports more about it I cant do anything but demand more deatails about it.

And yet I have you telling me Im dumb for that and that I should just take your word for what probably happened and that its all totally fine. Like cool, if you're fine with it, why are you commenting? Shouldnt you be just sitting by your fireplace?

Loooooooooool

Yall trumpists drank the kool aid

How many people did you employ/hire to do productive things?

BTW, I'm not a Trump person...but there is a reason (in the literal sense of the word, whether you agree with it or not) that people who actually build shit with their lives get tax incentives. Trump isn't the only one (on either side of the aisle), and he certainly didn't create the system that let him do it.

If Trump broke the law he should be punished, but the actual problem is that he probably didn't break the law. He just played the game, like most of the super wealthy...on both sides of the aisle.

As for his other business practices (like breaking deals and not paying people) this is not new. Folks have known about his unethical business practices for decades --- even the article you linked is more than four years old. It doesn't have anything to do with him taking advantage of the tax code.

Everyone knows the tax code is broken in America...but blaming Trump for it is a non-sequitur for me. And again, this is coming from someone who isn't a Trump fan...there is plenty of shit to pin on him that is actually his fault without blaming him for the idiotic tax code in America.
