    Kushner and his father-in-law and all the Trumplings are paying no taxes.

    Kushner and the Trumps are living off the sweat and toil of the middle class and below.

    A person whose wealth has increased five-fold over ten years should be paying taxes.

    Donald Trump assisted himself and other tax dodgers further with the changes to tax law favoring real estate developers.

    No tax is why Kushner and Trump are so profligate with government spending. It's not their money. Government spending is OPM, Other People's Money.

    They're living off the sweat of the lower classes by refraining from having the state steal their property? That's a pretty low bar.

    Trump and Trumplings could slither under rocks with space to spare.

    only an idiot wont use the deduction legally given them to use

    do you not take the deductions you are allowed to use when you prepare your taxes?

    If you don't like the Tax laws blame the Politian's that passed those laws not the ones that use them

    Why is Donald Trump too embarrassed to release his tax returns?

    I am not in the dam business. But conduct like Donald Trump's could burst the US debt dam.

    Given how obese Trump is I seriously doubt that.

    The point is, not having your **** stolen and given to Bludgers =/= stealing from Bludgers. It's your property.

    Bludgers? Are they the foreign workers Trump employs at Mar-a-Lago because he won't raise wages enough to attract American workers?

    Reason for the post? Jealousy, just hate the wealthy, or just still sad over landslide election losses two years ago?

    The services of avoidance strategy professionals are available to anyone even though paying for it isn't usually in most of our budgets. Reducing tax liability within the law isn't a crime. The solution: simplify the tax code. Ask yourself why few politicians of any party affiliation have ever suggested this. I think you'll discover the answer is because the benefits of complication are helping them and their big donors.

    How very limited of you to come up with two options that have nothing to do with nothing. But hey I bet that felt good to say didn't it? good on you and when do you think I'm going to see an increase in my paycheck I'm just a blue collar worker that's been doing the same thing for 30 plus years and I didn't see ****. I didn't get one damn Penny out of his tax cuts, yeah it's a good thing that the rich pay less money in percentage than I do. Why does Trump hate the middle class?

    And all the financial crooks will defend themselves by outlining all of it as being perfectly legal because it is. Rules and taxes for thee, not for me.

    Your own article states. This is copy and pasted

    Nothing in the documents suggests Mr. Kushner or his company broke the law. A spokesman for Mr. Kushner’s lawyer said that Mr. Kushner “paid all taxes due.”

    The article had you studied it states the following.

    This is what you get for years and years of Special Interests writing the laws, because Democrats and Republicans are corrupt.

    If he broke no laws, then no fowl. I wouldn't be mad at anyone following the law. It's time to change the laws.

    That point could be made, sort of, if Trump had divested his businesses so he would not have so many massive conflicts of interest.

    Now, everyone in the world knows how to play him and he knows how to play everyone else.

    It because the taxpayers business when he promised to follow tradition and release them. Only trumpets are defending him on this one.

    He’s hiding something - likely that he has also paid little to no tax and the tax bills are helping himself and his friends substantially - not that the trumpets would care. The independents however, might.
