    ha. this is spot on.

    "He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig"

    • oh shit timeline.lowimpakt
    • Robert De Niro talking about paying taxes? http://www.nytimes.c…
      ********
    • After playing a crook and criminal for so many years on screen. Wonder if he would also vote for one as well.
      ********
    • so he wants to pay the right amount of tax and not pay no tax.

      what is your point?
      lowimpakt
    • DeNiro has a long list of other questionable tax issues just like Donald.
      ********
    • That was probably not the right issue for DeNiro to be knocking in a video like this.
      ********
    • "questionable" as in paying tax late? or like trump paying no tax?lowimpakt
    • So if he can't forgive Donald Trump for tax issues, can he forgive Hillary for being a crook?
      ********
    • *paying no tax* as in legal tax deductions the U.S. put in place? Laws put in place to get investors with lots of money to invest to create jobs?
      ********
    • ohh omgfadein11
    • ya man fucked up big time so you try to move it onto de niro - lolz.fadein11
    • omg, are you really trying to discredit his opinion because you are defending trump? it sure seems like it.monospaced
    • First, let's talk about the $50 you owe me mono.
      ********
    • Second. I never discredited anyone. I only questioned DeNiro's position on taxes in light of his own tax issues
      ********
    • so in summary, there is nothing really wrong with De Niros tax affairs you just don't like that he called Trump a Bozo.lowimpakt
    • Thirdly, I never defended Trump. I was elaborating on a comment made by lowimpakt on Trump's current state of taxes in regards to tax laws.
      ********
    • I think there is a huge similarity between DeNiro and Trump on the subject of their taxes.
      ********
    • As much as I love DeNiro, maybe I'm trying to figure out how much of a hypocrite he will be in the voting booths.
      ********
    • I also saw a little tongue-n-cheek humor that a person who played a vicious criminal, crook and gangster on screen, could also vote for someone like Hillary.
      ********
    • no, you are trying to make De Niro out to be a hypocrite because he offended Trump. The actual evidence on De Niro's tax affairs suggests otherwise.lowimpakt
    • DeNiro attacked Trump on many issues. The one that stood out in my mind was his stance on taxes pending issues. He was rather quick to put on that halo.
      ********
    • The town of Gardiner, N.Y has been fighting DeNiro for the past 3 years. How long has Trump's taxes been an issue?
      ********
    • How much taxes do you expect someone to pay, if they are going to claim a billion dollar loss?
      ********
    • You only pay taxes on profits you make.
      ********
    • The Trust that owns his house argued that the valuation was too high. De Niro didn't know they had sued and when he found out the issue was resolved.lowimpakt
    • he also instructed the Trust to pay the town's legal fees

      http://www.nytimes.c…
      lowimpakt
    • A battle that dragged on for 3 years costing the poor town an additional $129,000 in legal fees
      ********
    • Considering the fact that Trump used money from his charity to fight legal battles you can see a world of difference.lowimpakt
    • I'm not saying Robert DeNiro is at all a bad guy. Money solves all these issues.
      ********
    • I would have imagined that he'd be more sympathetic considering the issues DeNiro saw with his $6.4million dollars in back taxes to the IRS
      ********
    • the IRS sent the notification to an incorrect address and he paid up in full. Trump personally lobbied for tax breakslowimpakt
    • I hate taxes in general and don't even understand it. It would be great if those tax breaks whatever they are would benefit people like you and me as well.
      ********
    • The IRS are said to be the real criminals.
      ********
    • I'm actually on the side of Robert DeNiro because when he bought his property it was only worth like $4M. and then it went up on him
      ********
    • Taxes benefit people like you and me by building schools, hospitals, roads, public transport, investing in science, looking after the poor etc.lowimpakt
    • It became $9M, so it forces the owner to pay taxes on money he never receives till and if he sells the land?
      ********
    • It's hard to argue when you're a star celebrity, but if that were to happen to me, I'd be fucked.
      ********
    • But the public often times are overpaying in taxes.
      ********
    • Someone pays tax on the flour to make into bread, then someone pays taxes on that same bread to make a burger, and then someone pays taxes for the burger.
      ********
    • ... and then you still have all the veggies, meat, and condiments to consider.
      ********
    • It's a weird system where we end up having to blame the guy at the top, because the system is screwing everyone on the bottom.
      ********
    • because that's the only logical solution.
      ********
    • If I were Trump, I would just move to China and take all his money with him.
      ********
    • he'd probably get a better deal.
      ********
    • Is DeNiro still relevant? I agree with what he is saying, but do younger people care? He's the old grandpa in chick flicks.instrmntl
    • You are confusing yourself. Who benefits? They guy at the top. Pretty simple, just follow the money.formed
    • Embarrassing comments here. Really embarrassing.fadein11
