I'm apparently the most liberal of all my friends and even I can see the logic in claiming as many deductions as possible. It's tax return season fam, you telling me you didn't try to get yourself a larger check?

I'm aware, but the idea is the same. Everyone does whats best for themselves financially whether it be to minimize cost or maximize returns, how is Trump getting ripped apart for doing exactly what most would in his position? Banks, businesses and corporations all take advantage when they can. Be outraged at all of it not just trump. --- Switch FC: SW-3917-4425-6106 PSN: PiKappaPhi769 ... Copied to Clipboard!

People should do everything they legally can to pay as little taxes as possible. Liberals praised people for dodging the draft. But heaven forbid someone doesn't want to donate extra money to the government.

Most of the typical corporate tax structuring that comes up in discussions like this aren't "loopholes." It essentially just decision making. A law firm presents the client with an option:
Option A: Set up a corp. in the U.S. and pay x. Option B: Set up a corp. in Ireland and pay <x. Obviously each option is more complicated than that but 99% of the time it doesn't involve a loophole or any kind of hidden unknown practice. When these companies are public they literally have a legal duty to the shareholders to maximize profits so the decision becomes even easier. The issue with Trump is that he acts like a 14 year old boy when discussing things like this. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ...

I think the take away is not that IF there is a loophole, you should take it. But he is our president. This seems to be more about class, appearance, and love of the country. When you file your taxes in April, will you opt out of all your available deductions because you love the country so much? --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ...

If the average person finds a way to keep a few hundred or few thousand extra dollars for themselves and out of the hands of the government they should get props. Similarly, if a rich person finds a way to keep millions for themselves and out of the hands of the government they should also get props. Both people are doing their part and have done a good deed as far as I'm concerned.

When these companies are public they literally have a legal duty to the shareholders to maximize profits so the decision becomes even easier. This claim has been overblown by some. See the Hobby Lobby case: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/13-354.html " Some lower court judges have suggested that RFRA does not protect for-profit corporations because the purpose of such corporations is simply to make money.23 This argument flies in the face of modern corporate law. "Each American jurisdiction today either expressly or by implication authorizes corporations to be formed under its general corporation act for any lawful purpose or business." 1 J. Cox & T. Hazen, Treatise of the Law of Corporations 4:1, p. 224 (3d ed. 2010) (emphasis added); see 1A W. Fletcher, Cyclopedia of the Law of Corporations 102 (rev. ed. 2010). While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits. If for-profit corporations may pursue such worthy objectives, there is no apparent reason why they may not further religious objectives as well." --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

So, to summarize the left: Our government is corrupt, roughly half of the people in our government (the Republicans) are evil and our government disenfranchises every single group aside from white males. Also, you should give the government more of your money when you're not obligated to and only the government should have guns. And we should try to expand our government.

I don't disagree and there are obviuosly a lot of things corporations do at that sacrafice of profits. My point really was limited to tax and the idea that companies shouldn't willingly give the gov't money they don't owe. Obviously a court wouldn't find fault if a company wasn't employing the most cutting edge tax structuring techniques but I think shareholders would have a problem if the opposite were true. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ...

Loopholes to avoid paying taxes doesn't seem to be the same thing as looking for deductions. The "loophole" that Trump used to avoid taxes wasn't an accident of the tax code, he was using it precisely in the way that was inteded; by Bill Clinton who endorsed the tax code at the time, fyi. It's no less valid than a deduction is. --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ... Copied to Clipboard!
