Ok Clinton Campaign - High time you get this out there - Trump calling 1/2 people lazy

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Inexplicably, no one has picked this up after months of trying to spread the word ! Many said, they are probably saving it. TIME !!!

1. The Pence insertion ruins this for me.

It turns an otherwise effective attack into a lie. When shooting the enemy, don't aim at your own foot.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Interesting...why? From his own mouth he says if a candidate disparages

such a large swath - shouldn't be president.

But, nevertheless, this is raw video, Jesus....do SOMETHING with it.

2. BINGO....Shared It

4. Hope you have a zillion followers ! :)

5. The deplorable half won't be impressed

since they seem to think they're the ones supporting the "lazy" 50%.

Good video, though. I'll share it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. think we are targeting the middle, the undecided. ? thanks LL

[librarylu]

10. I hope the undecided see it.

Trump insulted 50% of us. How many millions is that?

I had to go and read the comments on YouTube. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

[SaschaHM]

6. They should reverse the order.

Have Pence acting all high and mighty and then play the clip of Trump. Continues the theme of a hypocritical Pence acting like he's not running with this deplorable.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Good point. After last night, can't decide who is more sickening.

HERE’S TRUMP WHINING IN 2012 THAT ‘HALF OF AMERICANS DON’T PAY INCOME TAX’
OCTOBER 2, 2016
https://latest.com/2016/10/heres-trump-whining-in-2012-that-half-of-americans-dont-pay-income-tax/

Late Saturday night, the New York Times released a portion of Trump’s taxes that show that due to a $916 million dollar loss in 1995, Trump may have avoided paying taxes for nearly two decades. . .
Yet, while now they are declaring him a “tax genius” for not paying his fair share, back in 2012 Trump actually whined about people not paying their taxes while the nation has such crippling debt.

Watch Donald Trump Lecture Americans for Not Paying Taxes
DAVID CORN OCT. 2, 2016 11:34 AM

This weekend the New York Times detonated a bombshell by reporting that Donald Trump, using a loophole that benefits wealthy dynastic families, declared nearly a $1 billion loss on his 1995 tax returns—a loss that possibly allowed him to avoid paying any federal taxes for 18 years. (The full impact of this loss is not publicly known because Trump has stubbornly refused to follow the traditional practice for presidential candidates releasing his tax returns.) The Times account included a damning quote from Trump's former accountant: "Here the guy was building incredible net worth and not paying tax on it." After the story broke, the Trump campaign released a statement blasting the newspaper, calling Hillary Clinton more crooked than Richard Nixon, and claiming Trump "has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes, along with very substantial charitable contributions."

Without his tax returns, there is no way to determine if the campaign's assertion about Trump's taxes and charitable contributions is true. But in the past, Trump has frequently decried other Americans for not paying taxes.

On July 18, 2011, Trump appeared on Fox News and was asked about President Barack Obama's comments that well-to-do Americans should make a sacrifice for the country by paying more in taxes. He replied:

Well, I don’t mind sacrificing for the country, to be honest with you. But you know, you do have a problem because half of the people don't pay any tax. And when he's talking about that he's talking about people that aren't also working, that are not contributing to this society. And it's a problem. But we have 50 percent. It just hit the 50 percent mark. Fifty percent of the people are paying no tax.

Trump bashes tax avoiders who "get away with murder."

This weekend’s bombshell report in the New York Times revealed that Donald Trump claimed a $916 million loss, according to a copy of his 1995 New York state tax return, and that the billionaire Republican presidential nominee might not have paid any federal income tax in nearly two decades as a result.

13. and this one is even better -- He's cheating on Sales Tax and more

http://winningdemocrats.com/busted-solid-proof-trump-lied-on-either-his-taxes-or-his-candidate-disclosure-form/

Trump, along with a slew of other celebrities, was identified during a New York State investigation into tax dodging by the Bulgari jewelry store on Fifth Avenue. In a scam to avoid paying sales tax to the state, the jewelry store was sending empty boxes to out-of-state addresses for celebrity customers. According to news reports from the time, Trump purchased an item from the store worth $65,000. Trump helped build a case against the jewelry store, who the prosecutors considered the bigger fish to fry, and faced no consequences himself.

When Trump built the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the agreement reached with New York City required that he return a portion of the profits. However, an audit in 1989 discovered that Trump and the hotel’s ownership team “understated its net profit” by more than $5 million and deprived the city of almost $3 million in unreported proceeds. According to Karen Burstein, the city auditor who reviewed the Grand Hyatt financial books, Trump was complicit in this scheme.

He cheated the city of a substantial amount of money,” Burstein said. “This wasn’t just a good business deal. This wasn’t just business thinking. This was manipulation … It was an example of extraordinary flim-flammery.”
