I wonder if his "loss" is bogus. There are a lot of tricks available to avoid taxes because businesses are able to deduct nearly everything they do from their income. If the businesses spend money on Trump's personal expenses (decorating Trump tower for example) he should be paying taxes on that money, but it would be easy to hide that sort of thing on one's tax returns.

Children don't pay taxes, so yeah, half the country doesn't pay taxes.
