Eric, You are beginning to smell like the Canadian puppy. I didn't think you were that smart to remember what I wrote several months ago here on GoaNet. Was he the one who you sent you the little snippet that you copy / pasted here? I have blasted that puppy several times here on GoaNet in the past. He can't win an argument with me and it appears - neither can you.
Looks like you really got hurt when I stabbed you the last time. In the future, I would recommend you include the complete link to my email, instead of copy/pasting little snippets of my GoaNet postings that can distort the context in which I wrote the post. Regardless, I stand by every word I wrote. For your lazy little fingers - Here is the complete link: https://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg116390.html Let me begin by stating that I am not privy to Mr. Trump's COMPLETE tax returns so my knowledge about his tax returns is minimal. But every tax paying citizen would know that it would be considered a serious offense, if Mr. Trump did not pay taxes on his earnings/profits after adjusting for forwarded losses in a given financial year . Are you suggesting Mr. Trump evaded paying taxes? If that is the case, please prosecute him and I guarantee you he'll be in jail if found guilty. The US tax code allows any business entity operating in the US to carry forward losses from previous financial years. Based on what little is leaked in the press, I can surmise that he would be allowed to zero out certain profits by deducting past losses. Is this illegal? I think not. On a personal note, haven't you lost any money in the stock market on any trades ever? If so, don't you zero out your losses against your profits? If you aren't familiar with this little piece of tax code, you may want to check that that the IRS allows you to deduct $3000 per year from your investment profits till you die or as long as you carry your losses. Next time, come better prepared to play chess with me. Jim Fernandes Scarsdale, New York.
