 He’s too smart to pay taxes!

When a rich guy has to pay taxes in five of fifteen years, it means his accountant isn't doing his job. Trump and people like him are routinely audited every year, and except for the Clintons, almost all of them obey the tax laws in every detail. The consequences of error or, especially, fraud are simply too grave to risk.

Apropos the virtue-signaling comment of the troll Xenophon, he plainly fails to recognize that the only serious crimes here are those committed by the New York Times, which illegally obtained and published confidential tax information. Both of these acts are felonies—indeed, the charge that Richard Nixon merely attempted to gain access to tax records of his Democratic opponents was one of the articles of impeachment voted against him in 1974—but Trump's critics, from the (((Times's owners and editors))) on down to black thugs and murderers, are for all intents and purposes immune from prosecution nowadays for any crime, no matter how grave it might be.

Agree.  Especially in real estate.  There are special tax laws which allow one to build a building (which usually takes multiple years), and you don't pay any taxes until it's finally sold,  You can take the profit and buy another piece of land for the next property.  Tax law allows you to not pay taxes if you are re-investing the profit into another property.  In theory, the tax liability still exists, you have just kicked it down the road and it's now part of the new property.  You can do this indefinitely.  I know house builders/flippers who use it at the local level all the time.

I don't agree with the tax law necessarily (or believe it shouldn't be able to be used indefinitely) but it's the law, so you can use it to your advantage.
