@kazetnagorra saidThe youtube post is a good example of 'vacuous time wasting' on this site. Of course speculation and 'what we think' is certainly part of this medium. But citing useless non-germane videos? Fun for you or me or Suzianne or Chessturd Wolf or Handy to opine with our thoughts, but not someone else's. The hack obviously hates Trump and reaching for anything to smear him. At least pick someone with scruples next time.
Guess the story got to you, huh? Is the reality that you've been conned by an obvious conman slowly starting to dawn on you?
Did y'all see where the loser 22 yr-old snowflakes walked out on Pence speech at Taylor Univ? They could have learned something. I would LOVE to interview one of them for a job and at the end, ask, 'oh, did u walk out on a commencement speech? You're already fired." All total losers.
See? See I am opining with my own thoughts!🤔

@averagejoe1 saidC'mon Joe, tell us what a loophole is. 😆
I, and many people, smart accountants, “use loopholes” all the time.

@handyandy saidDean Martin was a Republican. (Source, Free Republic, also Hollowverse). Equally friend of the mafia. He would say Trump is not a crook. It's a standoff!
Set 'em up, Joe... here's a little story you oughta know.
If Frank Sinatra were alive today, he'd tell you Donald Trump was a crook.
Do y'all know Obama built the cages at the border? I'm off to church.

@wolfgang59 saidA Lacunae! (Looked it up!). Don't make me type out Webster's definition. It is legal. Like bankruptcy is legal. Legal. Good businessmen naturally take advantage of an opportunity to legally avoid [something]. I don't see a discussion here. There is no here here!
C'mon Joe, tell us what a loophole is. 😆

@AverageJoe1
Loopholes is a casual term, I looked back on post and see now y'all are joshing me, calling me out. You are right, actually what were created by Congress were 'tax breaks', if you will. So, I was a little loose there, but I think in terms of loopholes, that is sort of the vernacular, I guess, Anyway, same point is made. There are tax breaks, by law, available to business folks to upgrade equipment etc. Dont know how that might apply to trumps hotels! Y'all don't like their existence, because the hated Trump gets to use them. If I may, if his investors lost money, the investors made a choice to crawl in that bed.
Now, I think the concept of choice should be threaded in to every discussion on this site. Why, it could be a thread of its own
🙂

It's not complicated. He's doing it because he is broke and has been since the 90s, his cash-flow being maintained by his salary as an actor and through laundering money for the Russian mob.

@averagejoe1 saidDepends on the loophole I suppose. How about this one?
I, and many people, smart accountants, “use loopholes” all the time. You say that like there is something wrong with it. What in the world do you think those “loopholes’ are for. Your congressman put those loopholes there for a purpose, they keep the wheels greased in this economy.
I don’t get your other stuff, but I think you,again, purport to....know what he is thinking.?
https://www.rt.com/business/451417-amazon-pays-negative-tax-loopholes/
Amazon is actually claiming a tax rebate of $129 million, which works out to a logic-defying rate of -1 percent. Do you condone these type of loopholes?

@averagejoe1 saidIt is generally. I know some losses need to be tolerated for the overall financial stability of the business in the long term, but that is only intended for short term losses so the business can bring in a profit in the long term.
Profiting from losing money is not contrary to capitalism. But your socialism is certainly contrary to capitalism. I don’t know how y’all sleep at night. Capitalism might be my shutting down a losing company, losing money, and then capitalizing, after so-called loopholing, into my other company, Create Jobs !, and create wealth ( the result of capitalism). I love thi ...[text shortened]... govt-owned factory. Absolutely amazing. I guess the tax loopholes will be nonexistent, as well.
In other words, there needs to be healthy profits in the end to benefit the economy. Condoning loss after loss to keep the rich richer despite stupid decisions is socialism for the rich, a form of corporate welfare. Why do you condone that?

@averagejoe1 saidThere is a point where being obtuse becomes capitulation.
Well, my comment was a generic statement as to the concept of OPM, Katxanagorra made reference to Trump personally, so I just answered that way. I don't know why a bank would loan Trump money, unless they found out that all the stuff y'all say about him is not true!

@metal-brain saidMight be indeed a good question, cannot answer now, but my gut at the moment, not really related to your question,,,,,if our govt/law/etc gives money away in entitlement and welfare programs, why can't the job creating, producing, risk taking, entrepreneureal, deliver-toothpaste-to-your-door businessmen also get a cash break from the govt/law/etc entities in the United State of America?
