Think it works for him because trump doesn't pay his creditors, just leaves them hanging on the balance sheets as losses and offsets his tax against them. He doesn't just think paying taxes is for chumps, he thinks paying *anyone* is for chumps

And exactly why we’re on a crash course to actually bankrupting the country. He doesn’t want rich people to pay any taxes.

And that probably better explains the sycophantic motions of Bezos, Zuck, etc. They want to make sure they get their carve outs.

They think they are jumping on the gravy train but their empires are worthless when the stock market crashes and Americans are pumping money into their businesses anymore. They need us to have disposable income. Dumb shits

This is like the rich person version of those guys you meet who say “I told my boss I didn’t want a raise because it would actually mean I bring home less money because of the extra taxes”

There were also a lot of real estate depreciation games in there where accounting income was different than cash income
