Donald Trump Jr.: My Father Has Paid Tens of Millions of Dollars in Taxes
EXCERPT:
TRUMP JR.: "Listen, it’s ridiculous. My father's paid tens of millions of taxes. If he does things in certain years where you get depreciation, where you get write-off, where you get historical tax credits, like we did when we took on the risk of building the Old Post Office in D.C., it's the perfect example. That was literally a government contract. We bid against every hotel company in the world. Historical tax credits that you use to offset tax payments for taking the risk to build that. That was that done under the Obama Administration. It literally took an act of Congress to get it done. So, with that comes historical tax credits. That’s the reality. People don’t understand what goes into a business. It doesn’t include property taxes. It doesn’t include payroll taxes. It doesn’t include real estate taxes. It doesn’t include so many of the things that he's been paying taxes on forever as he's also putting thousands and thousands of people to work on an annual basis.”
