Donald Trump’s Tax-Return Dodge

[kaz]

Hillary's threatening to reignin Wall Street and the banks at the same time they pay her millions to speak and her son in law is a hedge fund manager and the libtards aren't curious?all they want is Trumps tax returns. Says a lot about the leftist idiots dosen't it?

You’re not interested in what your messiah paid in taxes while he expects you to pay more? Shows you’re the idiot; not others.

As I just said, you're not a Democrat, and you sold out completely to the Ice Queen.

I'm not voting for Trump but he's my "messiah?" That is funny. You're not a bright girl.

You're just deflecting from that your standard for Trump turned out to be a lie. Remember your standard?

People with nothing to hide, hide nothing

As a leftists, you should be demanding to know what your queen promised Wall Street. But no, that would require something you don't have. Integrity

I do have a question: What speeches are you talking about?

Meanwhile, all candidates or practically all, in the last 40 years have released tax returns. Its standard and customary for them to do so; that is the only standard. The only abstainer? Your messiah, Donald Trump.

Makes you wonder what he is hiding…

Seriously? You don't know about Hillary's Wall Street speeches? Wow.

Keeping Wall Street Speeches Secret Speaks Volumes About Hillary Clinton

Blah blah blah blah.

Did Clinton ever take a position as favorable to Wall Street as you rightwingnuts?

Stop deflecting.

The echo in your head confuses you sometimes, doesn't it? How do you tell the difference between them and the voices in your head?

Aren't you curious? Google Hillary's speeches to Wall Street. Come back when you are more knowledgeable!

It's unreal that she doesn't know that and won't do her own research, isn't it? Democrats are completely fucking lazy. A big part of why they vote themselves a living

I’m sure Ms. Clinton gave many speeches. Having you guys narrow it down to your deflection mode for your messiah was my question.

Meanwhile, Where are Trump’s tax returns? What’s he hiding?

Not knowing about Hillary's Wall Street speeches is a level of cluelessness I don't even expect from the mindless Democrat drone party. Well done, you're standing out in a tough field to stand out in

Spoken like a true Republican. Have you prayed to your Messiah Trump today?

You're getting weirder and weirder. So if I'm not even voting for Trump and that makes him my Messiah, what does that say about you and your complete sellout of your dignity and respect for Hillary? Don't answer that, I don't want to know ...

Aw, COME ON, Moderators! I get warned for accidently posting a thread that is similar to one that already exists and now we have ANOTHER BLATANT IDENTICAL 'Trump Tax Return' Thread?!

I guess when Libs find a 'diversion' they like they really stick to it.


President Obama Set A U.S. RECORD For ILLEGALLY refusing to release 70% of ALL FOIA Request Records...

President Obama still refuses to turn over IRS Targeting Documents
- Obama Administration Refuses to Release IRS Targeting Documents

President Obama still refuses to release his e-mails with Hillary during the Benghazi attack

President Obama - ILLEGALLY - refused to comply with US Court orders mandating that he turn over Fast-and-Furious documents, a scandal that happened in his 1st year in office...7.5 YEARS ago....until just recently....
- Holder Begs Court to Stop Document Release on Fast and Furious - Breitbart

MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVUH? HARDLY!

Hillary: According to the Director of the FBI Hillary broke the law by NOR turning over all work-related e-mails over to the State Department, a violation of the FOIA and the Federal Records Act:

Comey: “The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014.”


President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton has made it a habit of BREAKING THE LAW by REFUSING to release documents ACCORDING TO THE LAW.

Trump is NOT Required by the law to release his tax returns; however, Liberals are more concerned with Americans who are NOT breaking the law than they are with their own political leaders and President who has / is breaking the law.

The hypocrites continue to use this issue as a diversion to distract from their own party members' crimes...when in reality all it does is remind people of them.

I guess I should thank liberals for continuing to post this garbage, keeping their own candidate's and President's crimes fresh in everyone's minds!

It's okay for the board trolls like Jillyhag.

 

[P@triot]

He isn’t willing to do so. What is he hiding?

Why did the DoJ block the FBI's request to investigate the Clinton Foundation CC? What is Hitlery hiding?

Report: FBI Wanted an Investigation Into the Clinton Foundation — But the Justice Department Declined

 

[P@triot]

If Trump were interested in allowing the public to learn something about his finances, he might, Michel suggested, find a middle ground between total nondisclosure (Trump’s current position) and release of the full tax return. (Hillary and Bill Clinton have released their complete tax returns going back several years.)

Of course they have - because they use the Clinton Foundation for all of their illegal and unethical finances. Lets see Bill and Hitlery welcome an independent audit of the Clinton Foundation. I've got $100,000 right now that says that will never happen.

Took all of about 20 minutes to be proven right yet again....

Poor Donald.... it's amusing how his trumpsters don't care. if it were Hillary Clinton, they'd be foaming at the mouth.



Unlike every major-party Presidential candidate since 1976, Donald Trump will not release his tax returns. He’s being audited by the Internal Revenue Service, he has said, and so he will not release any return, for any year, until the audit is complete. Beyond that, his campaign has made it clear that, regardless of the status of the audit, Trump will not be releasing the returns before November.

In March, two of Trump’s tax lawyers, Sheri Dillon and William Nelson, of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, released a letter to Trump that said the candidate had interests in roughly five hundred business entities and, thus, “your personal federal income tax returns are inordinately large and complex for an individual.” The lawyers said, further, that prior I.R.S. examinations of his taxes over the previous decade had produced no net deficiency. The letter said that the returns had been under “continuous examination” by the I.R.S. but, curiously, said nothing about how or why that might affect the disclosure of the returns. (When I contacted the firm, Dillon declined to speak to me.)

The law is clear about publicly releasing tax returns. The I.R.S. is prohibited from doing so, but taxpayers themselves have every right to disclose their own returns. Does the existence of an audit change the legal status of public disclosure? The answer is no; Trump can release the returns if he wants to. “He filed these tax returns under penalty of perjury with the I.R.S.,” Scott Michel, a partner at Caplin & Drysdale, a leading tax-law firm, said. “If he were to disclose the returns publicly, he’s not disclosing anything that the I.R.S. doesn’t already know about. A disclosure in and of itself cannot possibly prejudice or hurt him with his audit.”

The main risk of disclosure is political rather than legal. Trump’s returns may show that he pays a very low effective tax rate. They may also show that he gives very little to charity, or show foreign financial entanglements. But there is another, less obvious risk of disclosure, according to Michel. “He knows that if he discloses his tax returns, there will be thousands of tax professionals in this country going over them with a fine-tooth comb,” he said. “And, in the public discussion of the returns, there may be issues in his audit that might not yet have arisen, and the I.R.S. hasn’t found them. The auditing agent may get the idea to ask about something he hasn’t thought about. That’s probably one reason why he may be reluctant to turn them over.” Again, though, this possibility is a personal financial risk for the candidate, not a legal barrier to disclosure.

If Trump were interested in allowing the public to learn something about his finances, he might, Michel suggested, find a middle ground between total nondisclosure (Trump’s current position) and release of the full tax return. (Hillary and Bill Clinton have released their complete tax returns going back several years.) “There are any number of questions that could be asked about what’s on his tax returns that wouldn’t require him to disclose the returns themselves,” Michel said. “How much did he report giving to charity? How much tax have you paid in dollars? What’s the effective tax rate that he paid? Do you have any foreign trusts? Foreign bank accounts? How big is your I.R.A.? This is all stuff that is on the face of a tax return”—that is, the form presented to the I.R.S. “There are many facts that he could disclose without going back on his position of not disclosing the full return because he is under audit,” Michel said.

Trump has said that he seeks to pay as little tax as possible under the law. That’s his right, of course. As Judge Learned Hand observed in 1934, “Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.” The question is not what the law requires but what politics demands. In this and so many other ways, Trump has so far defied Presidential electoral tradition by keeping his returns to himself. And if he continues to stonewall it’s clear that he’s doing so because that’s his choice, not his obligation.

Yawn, libs think tradition equals law, except when that tradition is marriage.

"Yawn, libs think tradition equals law, except when that tradition is marriage."

Or men using the ladies rest room because the feel like a girl today.

No. We think your guy is a con artist and you're a bunch of hypocrites who don't care what Donald is hiding but would be shrieking if Clinton didn't turn over her tax returns.

Try not to think as you are usually wrong. I don't give a ratsass about Hillary's or Trump's tax returns.

 

[TooTall]

You'll support a candidate that rigged a US election, but you'll complain about Trump's taxes. You wouldn't know even know what your were looking at if Trump handed you his tax returns.

Total nonsense.

What is drumpf hiding?

Hillary rigged a election and lied about her emails that put US sensitive information at risk. Yet you whine about Trump's taxes that you don't really need to see.

Rigged an election? Lied about e-mails and put US Sensitive information at risk? Man, if she did all that, you’d think she’d be in jail. Oh wait, let me guess…she has super powers and is above the law…blah blah blah…the FBI is in the bag for her blah blah blah….she cut a deal….blah blah blah…..

Don’t you get tired of trying to make the same old bullshit fly? I mean, day after day….it must get tiring on your part to put lipstick on the disaster that is your Messiah drumpf, parade around like he isn’t batshit crazy and come here and make these silly allegations once again?


It is customary for presidential candidates to release their income taxes. Fact.
HRC has released 33 years of hers.
He has not released any.

He knew the customary thing; going into the event, was that tax returns were going to be an issue. Just like Bernie knew full well about Super Delegates. To act surprised and ask “why did that happen” is basically dishonest.


Trump is obviously hiding something. The voters have a right to either see the returns or draw whatever conclusions their absence provides.

Those with nothing to hide…

Hide nothing.

I will give you that Hillary didn't rig the DNC election, her faithful lap dog Debbie did that. But about her emails and sensitive info at risk, read this and learn something.

Jan. 29, 2016: KCRG TV-9 interview in Dubuque, Iowa.

"I said I should've made a different choice, because it's proven to be quite difficult," Clinton reiterates, "but the facts are I never emailed anything that was considered classified or marked classified." Earlier that day, the Obama administration confirms the State Department announcing it would withhold 22 Clinton emails containing "top secret material."

Okay, and she is not in jail….sounds like she didn’t do anything illegal.

She just didn't get caught.

Actually.....she did get caught. She's just above the law. As are most of the people of the Democrats in Washington. They all refuse to prosecute each other.

Destroying evidence tends to lead that way.

Can't let this issue about Trump's refusal to divulge his tax returns go....no matter how many other stupid and dangerous gaffes the orange clown commits, the spotlight cannot be taken off the possible lying and fraud that Trump's tax returns could show.

For someone that is running under the banner that he is "the best business person that ever lived", the tax returns should shed some important light on this clown's claims.

I doubt your obsession is of any concern to Mr. Trump. I doubt you support him anyway. I doubt if his tax returns showed he gave billions of dollars to charities that help HIV+ baby gay kittens from the Middle East you would like him or vote for him.

I'll bet you couldn't read them if you had them. Obama's corrupt IRS has them and if there was anything illegal in them, you can bet your ass they would be prosecuting him. They are not.

Someday, when you finish 9th grade, you too may learn the difference between an act that is ILLEGAL which would warrant prosecution, and an act that is UNETHICAL........Of course the so called "Obama corrupt IRS" would have prosecuted him had Trump done something illegal......but THAT was never the question raised in the O/P, was it????
Here what YOU Trump acolytes should be asking of Trump (not me necessarily, but those that seem to worship the Cheeto-Clown):

1. How much (if any) did this self-proclaimed millionaire paid in taxes for thelast 10 years or so?
2. What kind of foreign investment has he made and with whom?
3. Since he makes the claim that he is very, very, generous, should we have some proof or is his word enough for you sheep?

 

[nat4900]

Neither does Trump.

With the above, do you mean that Trump is not SERIOUSLY running for president?....LOL
