Hillary Completely Avoids Debate Question On Clinton Foundation ‘Pay-To-Play’

I said that to the screen as well?

She said dozens of toddlers are shooting people.

Where are the news stories on that little bit of news?

We both know the answer to the question.

I get 20-40 news flashes a day, sometimes more. Yahoo News, WaPo, NYT, etc. I signed up for them to see what the left was up to. Seriously.

99.9% are anti-trump. Maybe 1 in a 100 mention WikiLeaks, and when they do it's to carry the meme Hillary's machine came up with before the debate regarding Russia and "stolen", etc..

I don't know how these news flashes get selected, but the confirmed end of journalism and the establishment of a state run media organization has be proven, and established.

How does an open border fit in with what you said?

You think he took a 900M loss so he could not pay federal income taxes.

Why do you think rich people stay rich?

The answer is in trade agreements. It's not an open border in the sense of people migrating. It's opening borders to international energy sharing.

Sure it is. That would not be referred to as an open border in a speech.

Hillary needs to give you another talking point that makes more sense.

No, that's just you being deliberately obtuse because you don't like Hillary.

She also completely avoided the question about her dream of an open border, instead shrieking about Wikileaks and Putin. Luckily for her, Trump is not very good at the whole debate thing and let her get away with it.

It bothered me that Trump left so much on the table at the debate. It's one thing to be restrained - at least that was his version of restrained - and it's another to be so restrained that you let your opponent get away with murder.

No, I know he claimed a $916 million dollar loss which meant he didn't have to pay federal taxes.

I feel like you haven't read very closely my posts in this thread, including the ones you quoted.

How do you figure taking credit for a 900M loss is stealing anything from the tax payers?
Click to expand...

that's his own problem that particular year and should not have paid taxes THAT year, but overall in the past 20 years he's made billions and should most definitely pay taxes on that

Youz guiz.....

Does it bother you that the Clinton's also claimed exemptions to avoid paying taxes? Does it bother you that Bill and Hillz claimed their used underwear as tax exemptions?

Seriously....you are a crack up.

Did the Clintons avoid paying ALL federal income tax? Or did they pay millions in federal income tax last year?

False equivalence.

You think the truth and facts are funny? Well, to each their own, I suppose.

The only one engaging here in equivocation is you. Trump followed the law. The Clintons followed the law. You **** yourself over Trump following the law and you are just fine with the Clintons following the law. Face it...the reason you **** yourself over all things Trump is because you are, in 3 words, full of ****.

And yes...you are absolutely a crack-up. All of you are.

Roughly half of jobs in this country are now thru nepotism, and includes government contracts. Do i expect better than average from a presidential candidate? Yes. But then again, Trump stole far more from taxpayers by not paying taxes on his billions for 20+ years, and just falling back on "You don't like it, change the law" doesn't come anywhere near excusing it

how is legally avoiding taxes STEALING from others? is He costing other people money like those who are sucking on the public teat?
 
chromium said:
He pays less in taxes than a secretary making $40k/year. That is stealing from her, yes, and incredibly cheap. He is totally unworthy to be in charge of a small county's finances much less the presidency

I already said i would never support Hillary, but no, she was 1/100 senators under a republican president. Not at all the same as the position she's seeking. She has also vowed to raise taxes on the wealthy both for college and to keep SS solvent. How much is anyone's guess and that's a big problem i have with the debate format

that's nonsense. The tax code determines what people pay. I love liberals who love the tax code when it imposes a surcharge on those of us who pay the most taxes with a death tax but then they complain about people who follow the rules of the tax code liberals love to avoid taxes. Its like lefties who are mad that rich people only pay 15% max in investment income and say that is wrong-by comparing it to the same code that imposes higher rates on rich peoples' earned income.

the real stealing is people who use lots of government resources and vote but are net tax consumers. But you don't here liberals complaining about those people

That whole "THE RICH IZ STEALIN MAH PENNIES!!!" argument is just so stupid. First off...we can certainly respect and appreciate that secretary busting her ass for 40k a year. Nothing but love and respect for her or him. Been there...worked 2-3 jobs most of my life. But here is the difference between her and Trump and why the tax codes are written. She is probably worth net around 100k and putting food on the family table. She is putting shoes on her kids feet. Well done. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is not merely a stock investor. If he were he would be worth many times more than what he is today. No...Trump is a businessman...an entrepreneur. He puts his wealth on the line to create. And in some cases...those businesses dont pan out. But while he is taking the risk, he is also DIRECTLY responsible for the careers and livelihood of around 60,000 people a year. He is indirectly responsible for many times more than that. Additionally, he is sponsoring and running charities. Whether the poor me little leftist victims realize it or not, they desperately NEED people like Donald Trump. They need the Sam Walton's of the world. They need the Kraft family and the Carnegie's, and the Kroc's and the Fords and the Gates's and all the other people that have taken the risk and yes, taken the loss.

There are many things to not like about Trump. There are many things to despise in HRC. It would be swell if people used their logic and not their feeeeeeelingz when they examine the world.

Umm, no. By the very definition, you are the one creating a false equivalency when you claim a multi-billionaire not paying any federal taxes is the same as anyone paying millions in federal taxes.
Trump followed the law.

I didn't say he didn't. In fact, I directly addressed that. Perhaps if you would bother to actually read what I wrote before you posted about it you wouldn't say things which are completely devoid of reasonable argument.

the reason you **** yourself over all things Trump is because you are, in 3 words, full of ****
Click to expand...
That doesn't even make sense. I feel like you haven't bothered to read what I've actually written in this thread and have just reacted with a kneejerk response, because...you know...Trump.
