No a simple law would not generate you any work. A complicated one drawn up by lawyers and politicians would be a major works project.

Yeah, I'll trust your legal expertise. *snicker*

The "simpler" a law, the more interpretation it needs. Guess who does the interpreting.

Re: Donald Trump’s Plan for America Includes Shutting Down the Media

From my point of view the major US media are all mouthpieces for some political party. I get tired of hear what they want me to hear vs what is really happening from a fair and balanced fact based reporting.

Re: Donald Trump’s Plan for America Includes Shutting Down the Media

Why shut something down when showing it's flaws to their own audience results in Trump getting new supporters. He has been shutting them down since he announced he was running. At some point they will have to support him just due to his popularity with the public or the rest of their audience will leave for that same reason.
In Trump's case it might be better to 'repair the damage' after he has had his time in power. Basically it is like Venezuela as Hugo came into power and TPTB ducked away to Miami until that is reversed and then it is back to 'Plan A'

Re: Donald Trump’s Plan for America Includes Shutting Down the Media

Ah hell, that's just Trump doing what he's been doing all along. He won't be shutting down any media because they're such useful idiots and have done him well to this point - saved him a lot of $$ on his campaign by simply reporting on his outlandish claims and exaggerations and they keep falling for it!


I can't wait to see how this all rolls out.

Donald Trump's Tax Returns Showed That He Paid Nothing

Donald Trump's Tax Returns Showed That He Paid Nothing

He used a tax code provision to claim negative income.

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump reportedly paid absolutely nothing in federal income taxes for at least two years in the late 1970s thanks to a tax code provision giving major advantages to large property developers.

The Washington Post reports that Trump’s tax returns last became public in 1981 among a slew of casino regulatory filings. The real estate mogul reported negative income in several of those years, eliminating his tax liability.

As investigative reporter David Cay Johnston has previously noted, Trump was able to claim negative income of $406,379 in 1978 and $3.4 million in 1979. The reason? A tax provision requiring developers and building owners to depreciate buildings’ value over time and allowing them to count this loss in value as a deduction against their income. With enough buildings and their corresponding depreciation on the books, Trump’s income could technically turn negative.

Trump has adamantly refused to release his tax returns in recent months, citing an IRS audit and asserting that his financials are “none of your business” and drawing the ire of critics such as 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney. There’s been rampant speculation that Trump’s resistance to disclosing the figures stems from a low tax rate, particularly for a man of his wealth, thanks to tax code provisions such as the building depreciation deduction.

He would be the first major party presidential nominee to not release his or her returns in four decades if he hews to his current position.
