Those are just examples; taxes are taxes. It's the same concept.

He wrote off $70,000 for hairstyling and $210,000 for an event photographer. Legit expenses considering he was on TV and doing events. Add a bunch more and there you go.

Stop thinking like a poor person. For example, if you're poor and you want to get around you either save money or get a loan and buy a car. You then pay sales taxes on that car, and on the gas and parts it uses. On top of that you lose income from whatever opportunity that car money was going get you if you didn't buy the car.

If you're rich, your car is owned by some company that is owned by some other company you own and they provide the car to you as part of your compensation package and take care of all the rest. That car is income to you, but as income you offset it by getting expensive haircuts you need for TV. So you don't pay for the car and you don't pay for any associated taxes, and the company that does has losses on loans it makes to another of your companies so it doesn't have any income either. The same goes for your plane and your boat, well maybe not your boat cause you don't need that to get around, but I guess if you sponsor some yacht race you can write the boat off as well, so yeah a boat.

Strictly speaking though, Trump through his holdings has paid more taxes in one year than the combined gross worth of everyone who has ever played on p99 ever.

Citation needed. Trump Organization dead because of fraud. Trump is an overleveraged con-artist with no liquid assets.

Describing a system whereby those who gain the most from our society contribute less than the working class whose labor makes the society possible isn't quite the defense of Trump some of you seem to believe it is. Yes, our system is set up to reward corruption among the most wealthy, but only the most dissonant suckers would defend such a system.

You are ripe for exploitation.

If you dont like the system that has been made, you're free to make your own system and post your selfies there.

How much taxes did people Trump paid to do stuff for him pay?

It's been pointless to list any flaws about Trump. He could go on a killing spree on camera and his cult following will do any kind of mental gymnastics to explain why that was actually a good thing or he didn't mean it that way.

Someone's going to go on a killing spree pretty soon if you all don't calm and stop pulling the general populace into your godless and wanton destruction of people's livelihood.

Between the overlords' overreaching plandemic, pushing down on the top, and the Lumpen's chaotic destruction below, you're bound to crack a few nuts in the squeeze, if'n u knalwm sayin.

Ya'll need Jesus, sobriety, and serenity.

The only thing funnier about Trump pissing off the American left is how much he pisses off the European left. Guy's not even on the same continent and he lives in your head rent free.

Also - get better tax advisors? Sorry you suck at paying taxes. There's quite a big difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion.
