    Everybody does this. The first thing Clinton should do is sit down and have a panel bring to her the most egregious tax dodges in our country. Review them, and put them up for vote for them to be repealed.

    His latest battle involves the newly opened Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., where the district's assessor originally valued Trump's interest in the property for tax purposes at $98 million. Trump wants it assessed at $28 million, according to court documents.

    So far, the district has agreed to reduce the assessed value to $91 million, but Trump's development company filed a petition in June seeking to further cut taxes.

    A district source familiar with tax policy told CNN that pushing for a cut of that magnitude is "out of the norm."..

  4. I have a suggestion for those like Trump that do not want to pay taxes. Move to Somalia. Get the hell out of our country that those of who have paid taxes to support it are proud enough of to support.

    Wouldn't it make more sense for the 47% to get out?

  6. That's practically the slogan of your party.

    Also, now that you have weaponized the IRS, I wonder how many democrat officials are cheating on their taxes, secure that no action will be taken?

  8. I agree. There are so many Third World countries for these guys to choose from that share their views on regulation and taxation, you wonder why they stay in the US and whine. They clearly don't like their own country...

    Maybe they just like to whine.

    Republicans Are Threatening Lawsuits To Block Ads Tying Them To Trump

    With Donald Trump tanking in the polls and Democrats trying to take vulnerable Republican lawmakers down with him, some G.O.P. candidates are taking evasive maneuvers to avoid being crushed by their party’s tottering nominee.

    Faced with an onslaught of political ads connecting them to Trump, five Republicans are accusing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of providing false or misleading information, the Huffington Post reports. Congressmen Bob Dold (R-Ill.), Mike Coffman (R-Colo.),David Jolly (R-Fla.), and John Katko (R-N.Y.) — as well as congressional candidate Brian Fitzpatrick, running for an open seat in Pennsylvania, have issued complaints against TV stations running ads made by the D.C.C.C., claiming that the ads are tantamount to defamation and asking the stations to take them down.

    It’s not uncommon for politicians to try to stop ads from running on TV by claiming that they are false, misleading, or defamatory, but rarely do they file formal lawsuits. But it does hint at the anxiety in Republican circles over down-ticket races, which have been jeopardized both by Trump’s unpopularity and by his ongoing vendetta against G.O.P. lawmakers who have stood up to him. Democrats have stepped gleefully into that vacuum, with President Obama himself making an unprecedented 150 personal endorsements in local, state, and congressional races. With Trump damaging the G.O.P. brand at every turn, even sharing the same tent as him makes any Republican look bad, as Dold, Coffman, and the rest are abundantly aware. Democrats, for their part, are counting on it.
