- Ya, that sounds about right. I would expect a multi-billion dollar company to hold at least that much debt. You'd be a terrible business person not to.
Again, good on him if so. Why would he volunteer to pay taxes based on the current system? He owned up to this one quite well, explaining he is in the business to make money for his company, but the average Joe doesn't understand how taxes work.
For a multi-billion dollar real estate, property management company, and tourism company who is probably paying upwards of a thousand contracting companies a day, if all they can dig up is 4-5 unpaid contractors, that's amazing of them. Look at any public corporation regardless of industry and you'll find triple that at any point litigating them over unpaid work. There are a host of reasons, and to blame it on the CEO directly is a joke. You think he personally inspects all the work & services performed and cuts each and every cheque?

Taken on their own, I don't think they're that bad, but taken together from someone asking to guide the nation's economy, they're awful. He admits to occasionally not paying people who work for him, apparently at a time when he's paying next to no taxes. And yet he's trying to make the argument that cutting taxes to big businesses will result in more and better-paying jobs. If you were trying to find an example to refute trickle-down economics, you really could not do better than his own business.
Also, it's
a lot more than 4-5 unpaid contractors.
