Trump Golf Course Gets Tax Break By Claiming To Have 12 Goats

[skews13]

Curtis, a former high school principal in Roxbury, seethes over the imbalances in town. While he pays more than $9,600 in annual property taxes on the undeveloped portion of his 2½-acre lot, some of his neighbors pay only a few hundred dollars on significant portions of their multi-acre estates thanks to farm assessments.

“This law has morphed into a scam that wealthy people, with large tracts of land, have adopted as their own personal tax-reduction scheme,” Curtis said.

No one is doing me a favor while I pay $4,683.32 per acre in tax, while these 155 entitled folks are paying $6.88 per acre,” he said.

What they are actually doing is transferring their tax bill to the 2,126 non-assessed property owners in town,” Curtis added, citing data from 2021. “It has to be understood: This is a tax transfer, not a tax break.”

In Bedminster, former President Donald Trump enjoys a farm tax break for a portion of his Trump National Golf Club.

The club’s 2024 property tax bill comes to $450,000 for its 320 conventionally taxed acres — a rate of $1,406 per acre — and $1,168 for its farmland, or just $6.38 an acre.


That’s a saving of almost $257,000, Curtis calculates. “Donald Trump charges a $350,000 membership fee to anyone who wants to join his club,” he said. “I hardly believe that Mr. Trump needs a 98% tax reduction when one new membership would more than pay for the taxes he is avoiding.”

Actually, I have a big problem with it, and agree with the Republican quoted in the article.

There is no such thing as a tax break.

There is only a tax transfer.

When you give one group a tax cut.

You give another group a tax hike.

Two things here;

Poor people don't write the tax code.

There should be no loopholes written into any tax codes.

You make this much money? You owe this much tax.

Period.

You own this much real estate? You owe this much tax.

Period.

You have this much capital gain? You owe this much tax.

Period.

No loopholes. No exemptions. No exceptions. No write offs. No pass throughs. No depreciations. No deductions.

Period.

Can you people please stop with being upset about Trump taking advantage of the tax credits, deductions, and incentives? He doesn’t hide them and has even pointed out that wealthy elite liberals who run your party take advantage of the US Tax Code just like he does.

Come back when he is President and itemizing used underwear donations to Goodwill.

Never happen. You dims want to overtax the "rich"...which is really your ilk...to make up for what part of the population doesn't pay any taxes. Your billionaires play the loophole game to avoid the taxes, so its always us in the middle class with jobs making up the difference to pay for your sucking off the government teat.

Well, when you keep voting the same criminals in, time after time, this is what happens.

Don't blame Trump for taking advantage of bad tax law. Put the blame where it belongs: the people who wrote the law.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

There is an Alpaca ranch in Temecula, California. They board and care for Alpacas that are owned primarily by the wealthy in the entertainment industry. The tax breaks to Alpaca ranching are enormous. The break for owning even one Alpaca is enormous.

This might be shifting the tax burden to Compton.

/—-/ I shake my head at folks who rail on about loopholes. I tell them if it’s in the tax code it’s not a loophole. It’s a legit tax deduction. Congress just carves them out to help donors. Farm subsidies are no different.
Fun Fact: Our 401k is one such “loophole “ some tax attorneys discovered to help their clients defer taxes. And, it spread across the country.
