Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law, appears to have dramatically reduced his tax bills in recent years by using a legal tax break known as depreciation, according to The New York Times.

Kushner is worth more than $300 million and has earned millions off his family’s real-estate holdings but has paid little in taxes, the Times reported Saturday after obtaining confidential financial documents.

The report concluded that he appeared to have paid almost no federal income taxes for several years running.

This is one way the rich get richer.
 
As I said. They say girls subconsciously marry their fathers.

If your problem is legal tax breaks ask your congressman to change the law.

If your problem is that Jared Kushner legally used the tax breaks that appears to be your problem.

How many years have you been listening to me complaining that America is now a very corrupt place?

The massive tax code is from front to back a joke.

How many thousands of pages is it?

WAY TOO MANY!

You cant seriously expect the average American to know this......

Many cant even figure out interest...how that works.

The fed has a vault of these studies...

The financial ignorance of Americans.

WE ARE SOMETHING ELSE!

If it was legal, then this is just another nothing burger.

The real crime is the leaking of private confidential information.

So where has your hero Trump said the tax system is corrupt? Yet, you still hail him as a hero. Your comments are as hypocritical as they come. If you were truly against corruption, you would be against Trump's actions but alas you are not so you are FOR corruption hypocrite.

Nope, just speaking fact. It is good to finally meet someone of Hawkeye10's family though, the only ones who will defend him. How are you related to Hawkeye?

Actually, they just changed the law..... to be far more favorable to real estate owners and developers. Its good/profitable to be the king.

The wrong way.... which is one of the reasons he won't be our congressman in January. The Republican party just pulled his funding.... but, hey, 10 years is long enough.

That tax deal they shoved through was such a winner that no one wants to talk about it now.
