Trump suspected of avoiding 10's of millions of dollars in tax - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/25/exclusi...
Avoid, not evade?article said:
Howard Abrams, professor of law and director of tax at the University of San Diego, said: “Converting the original equity into debt improved their tax position dramatically. However they have changed the labels, but they didn’t really change the economics at all.
"It's not a loan - it's really equity. I don’t think they would survive a challenge [by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)].”
Experts said that the matter would usually be one for the IRS, who could audit, or re-audit, the deal and attempt to recover any tax that should have been paid. In such cases the IRS can subsequently pursue fraud charges if there is sufficient evidence of intentional wrongdoing.
That would suggest it's a step beyond acceptable minimisation of tax liability."It's not a loan - it's really equity. I don’t think they would survive a challenge [by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)].”

he polling stations are asking you to present the same identification that you present when you pay in a check, get a prescription or buy cheap tools at Harbor freight with a credit card.
Umm.. b
ks. I have never ever been asked to show photo ID when paying in a check, collecting a prescription or using my credit card for anything other than alcohol.Now in fairness I've never collected a prescription for a narcotic and I don't live in the hood. So if you are carded when you collect your Norco or cash your check at the pay day loan place then things may be different for you and of course I'm happy to take your word for it.
If I collect a prescription for my wife they verify my address using my........ ID.
I suspect you would argue that red was blue and vice versa when you perceive that someone doesn't agree with you. However these are the facts, however inconvenient they are for you.
My answer is correct, regardless of state. You don't need photo id to pay in a check, collect a non narcotic prescription for yourself or to buy a hammer in Harbor Freight with your CC. Those really are the facts.

Yes. Particularly, because Sanders is more a policy wonk than anyone else in the race. Trump will gain credibility simply by appearing on stage with him.Halb said:
Trump could agree to donate the proceeds to veterans as suggested - that might make up for his missing $1 million donation - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/201...rscott said:

If you think anyone cares about that, you are kidding yourself. Almost no one cared that Bush was AWOL from the national guard, CBS even reprimanded it's own anchor for a story that should have sunk Shrub. Then for an end dose of stupid, they attacked Kerry regarding a purple heart he was awarded in Vietnam and people ate it up. Trump is perfect for the American public.

They're more likely to pay attention to this though - conning veterans out of money never looks good .. Correctly describing military service is far less interesting to many.
They really aren't. The VA, for example, is a joke, and virtually no one cares. American society is notorious for kicking soldiers to the curb once they are done with them. Just another item to be consumed.When you factor in the ease with which Trump has managed to dodge every attack against him so far, it ain't looking good.

As for the "debate" it's just a stunt by FOX. Fair play to them, they persuaded Bernie and Trump to do it. There is no way in hell that Clinton should agree to debate Sanders, she has nothing to gain by it, she's already beaten him. I hope Bernie lets loose on Trump but I suspect there will be a lot of "rules" laid down by the Trump camp.
