Trump off-base on Buffett, Soros deductions

Facing scrutiny over possibly not paying federal income tax for almost two decades, Donald Trump turned the tables on Hillary Clinton during the heated second presidential debate. The New York Times obtained a few pages of Trump’s 1995 personal tax returns, revealing a $916 million loss that would have allowed him to legally avoid paying taxes for 18 years.

Trump didn’t deny this and instead claimed Clinton backers Warren Buffett and George Soros did the same to a larger extent. "Many of her friends took bigger deductions. Warren Buffett took a massive deduction. Soros, who is a friend of hers, took a massive deduction," he said.

We wondered if this was accurate....
