Half of the trouble would be cleared, away, if Trump would release his tax returns.

Donald Trump Refuses To Release Tax Returns, Again

1/11/17

REPORTER: Do you believe the hacking was justified and will you release your tax returns to prove what you're saying about no deals in Russia?

TRUMP: I'm not releasing the tax returns because as you know, they're under audit.

REPORTER: they've been under audit since the '70s.

TRUMP: The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters, okay?

REPORTER: You don't think the American public is concerned about it?

TRUMP: I don't think so. I won. no, I don't think they care at all. I think you care. I don't think they care at all. I think you care.

First, the tax return reveals a person's annual income. A person's net worth is not disclosed, but voters would gain an understanding of a person's cash flow. Second, voters would understand the sources of a person's income, such as how much comes from certain businesses, speeches, dividends, capital gains and so forth.


Third, a tax return would disclose how much a person gives to charity. Mitt Romney gave almost $2.3 million to charity in 2011, while Bill and Hillary Clinton gave $3 million to charity in 2014. We know these figures because of information in their tax returns.



Fourth, a tax return would reveal how aggressive Trump has been on his taxes. There is no black-and-white approach to taxes; there are many gray areas subject to interpretation, especially regarding deductions. Trump frequently suggests that he knows how to game the system, so voters would learn whether he takes the same approach to his taxes.

Finally, the tax returns would disclose what percentage of Trump's income.

Press conference complete with cheerleaders and piped in soundtrack.?


"...it would help, by the way, if Trump, as president, stops inviting supporters to the briefing room to yell, "Trump! Trump! Trump!" as they did on Wednesday at Trump Tower. These supporters cheered wildly when Trump suggested that no one cares about his tax forms except reporters."

Whether America cares or not is not the issue. Reporters search for facts. Trump disrespects that search. As Trump himself might say, "Does anyone in this room think anything is going to change after Jan. 20?"

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...erence-not-press-conference-article-1.2943560
60% of Americans think Trump should release his returns, according to a Pew Research Center poll published this month.

This notion that many Americans do, in fact, care about Trump's tax information and the implications his financial dealings could have while he's in power was supported by a tweet Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden posted earlier today.


Trump won't sell his business nor place his assets in a blind trust, like it was recommended he should do.

Tragically, the Trump plan to deal with his business conflicts announced today falls short in every respect,” Norm Eisen, a former top White House ethics lawyer for President Obama, told Politico. "Mr. Trump’s ill-advised course will precipitate scandal and corruption."

When a reporter asked him whether he would release his taxes to prove that, he once again demurred, claiming they are under audit. (He has not proved that claim, and the IRS says there’s nothing to prevent him from releasing taxes that are under audit.) Yet he also seemed to suggest that having won the election, he no longer had any incentive to release the returns.

The details of Trump’s plan to solve his conflicts of interest remain to be explored and parsed, though he made several peculiar comments during the press conference. He asserted, dubiously, that he has very little debt.

Conflict of interest ?

While not all conflicts-of-interest laws apply to the president, the lack of legal constraints does not mean conflicts of interest cannot exist. Moreover, Trump is still subject to the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, among other rules.

Donald Trump Refuses To Release Tax Returns, Again

1/11/17

He doesn't want to and as far as I know doesn't have to.

So guess what you're not likely to see anytime soon?

 

[Iceprincess12]

What about the other half? Is the trouble sliced horizontally or vertically? We could always make trouble slices, just like American cheese and give everyone their fair share.

 

[phrodeau]

I'm considering not releasing my tax returns to the IRS. I'm sure that Trump doesn't care about my tax return.

 

[Chris_Michael]

So, what you're saying is that he is better at maintaining highly confidential documents better than Hillary Clinton? I'm okay with that.

The election is over. He won. It doesn't matter. He knocked that bitch out of ever stepping foot in the White House as anything other than a Senator. And he did it despite every media source betting nearly 100% that he would lose by a landslide.

Trump started out as an attempt to press the hard issues and he defeated every goddamn politician our government could throw at him. That motherfucker is a genius. He deserves a goddamn medal for doing the unthinkable.

He said he wanted to have sex with his daughter and became the president of the US. BWAHAHAhahahahahahaha! That just shows how pathetic the far left has become. We're all tired of your political correct BULLSHIT.

Fuck them politically correct cow cakes! It's Trump Time, bitches!

Let's go out, get a few cheapo Bud tallboys and grab some pussies! Slap a girl's ass to tell her she's hot like our daddies an' granddaddies used to do back in the day before them femmynists pissed on the good times! Maybe call some gay people fags to their faces and tell ching-chong jokes in front of some Asians! Let's feel like real 'Murican men again after having our penises held hostage for eight years!

 

[handysr]

I don't give a rat's ass about his tax return. If nothing else, if he had given any of them up, then all the crybaby liberals would be bitching that he provided them illegally because he's under a life-long audit. Yeah, I'm sure he's bent plenty of rules (tax laws), but that's part of how the top 1% of rich folks do stuff to keep their wealth.

So what if he doesn't give up his tax returns. How long did American's have to wait for a birth certificate from Obama? And when it did show up, it was shown to be a fake. We still haven't seen his college paperwork, nor the ones for the crazy thing he's married to. And Americans have been asking for that for almost a fucking decade. He's THE reason people are still unsure if he was born in Hawaii or Kenya.

The truth of the matter is that you liberals just want to bitch about Trump, so you'll grab any crumbs that fall to the carpet. Get over it and try putting your energies towards something useful instead of letting your blood boil over his refusal to do something illegal to make you happy.

 

[phrodeau]

Have another drink. It hasn't done you any harm so far.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

the crazy thing he's married to

Ah.

You're one of those shitstains that I unfortunately have to share oxygen with on this planet.

Thanks for self-identifying. Makes the curb-kicking easier!

I don't even get the "I'm being audited" excuse anyway. It make absolutely no sense on the face of it.

All he has to say is, "These are the tax returns I submitted to the IRS. Everyone makes mistakes so they may be amended as a result of the audit, but as of now I believe them to be accurate."

Case closed.

The only reason to not release them is because you're hiding something.

Why would you ever release tax returns to the IRS???

I deposit mine.

You must not pay taxes every year.....can't say I'm at all shocked.

"...the reason you can’t assure us of that is because the President-elect is hiding his family’s business interests from you, from me, from the rest of America. And this just highlights the absurdity and the danger of the President-elect’s refusal to put his assets in a true blind trust."

“He knows, he, the President-elect knows, what will benefit him and his family financially,” Warren continued. “But the public doesn’t. Which means he can divert taxpayer money into his own pockets without anyone knowing about it.”

-Elizabeth Warren, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

Well damn, here I was thinking that we'd all be the best of buddies.
You can't stand Trump, I get it. Enjoy hanging out in your echo chamber with others who hate him.
Guess what? There are tons of other people who can't stand anyone with the last name of obama or clinton.
Maybe we can agree to disagree.


Olive Branch:
How about if we just say that pretty much all politicians are lying bags of scum? They put their own best interests over the lowly people that helped voted them into office, and they hate it when some whistleblower comes along and tells the citizens what kind of BS they've been up to.

Just as conservatives have bitched about Obama for the last eight years. What I don't understand is why people don't bitch about pol's feathering their own nests and ignoring the interests of the people, no matter which side of the grassy knoll they are on?

Obama had eight years to end the Afghan war and failed to do it. He had his own people refuse to close Git'mo and he didn't fire their asses. He promises peace and yet bombed the shit out of seven countries.

Both sides are scum sucking assholes but people keep voting for them?

Donald Trump is going to end the Afghan War? I never heard that promise.

I did hear him being totally clueless with Bill O'Reilly about Afghanistan.

There's no way that I can dispute your first and last statement.

But the war? HA!!! Russia couldn't do it a few decades ago, and America can't do it now. Why? Nobody can agree on a truly peaceful end to the situation without genocide.

The people who live there have been fighting for centuries, and there's really no end in sight. Each tribal and religious faction that live there think that "their way" is the only way, and anyone who disagrees must die or become their slave. The only way to end the fighting in the middle east is to eradicate anyone who lives there. We've run into a problem though... Those people are now herding across Europe to spread their religion of hate and warefare, hoping to overtake the world by the sword (and rape) of the koran.

As much as obama said he wanted to end the war, he's full of shit. his muslim brothers are the ones fighting, and he's not going to want them to die. obama is part of the problem, not the solution. As much as Trump may or may not have an interest in ending the hostilities, he won't be able to. The best we can hope for is that we don't end up having the muslim rape of Europe that's going on now.

If the SJWs of America really wanted to effect a change, they should start by convincing the muslim hordes to follow their mindset. If they can convince the muslims that a woman seductively flashing her ankle isn't punishable by death, or being gay doesn't deserve a crucifiction, then maybe there's hope for the world yet.

HAHAHA, good luck...

 

[phrodeau]

Yeah, kick the Muslims out of Europe. The Pope kicked them all out in the 15th century after they were there for 700 years, and now they're coming back in like they own the place.

 

[Dream_Operator]

Yeah, kick the Muslims out of Europe. The Pope kicked them all out in the 15th century after they were there for 700 years, and now they're coming back in like they own the place.

The Muslims were only in a small part of Europe, part of what is now the nation state of Spain. The "Moors" conquered and were later conquered.

What's your point? The Pope had nothing to do with it.

 

[ishtat]

The Muslims were only in a small part of Europe, part of what is now the nation state of Spain. .

Some of the ones you missed - Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Macedonia, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, plus a few others.

 

[Boxlicker101]

Yeah, kick the Muslims out of Europe. The Pope kicked them all out in the 15th century after they were there for 700 years, and now they're coming back in like they own the place.

According to their doctrine, they do own the place. Any place Muslims have controlled is their territory forever after that.

There was more than just Spain. Portugal, for one current nation, plus other areas. Here is a series of maps showing the spread of Islam into Europe and other parts of the world. https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs...sted_003&hspart=iry&hsimp=yhs-fullyhosted_003

Are Trump's tax records the equivalent of Obama's birth record or Florida's pregnant chads?

Who cares? Presidents are elected by the system operated by the US. If you get the wrong President blame the electorate, not the system.
