Donald Trump’s Tax-Return Dodge

[candycorn]

Not releasing his tax return is an "entitlement?" WTF are you talking about?

Ask willow tree…she keeps brining up entitlements. Meanwhile, try learning to figure out whom said what. Okay?

I asked you because you said it. Obviously that was silly. I do have a question though.

What do you think Hillary is hiding in her Wall Street speech transcripts? She was paid hundreds of thousands a speech. Obviously they want something beyond her waxing poetic. She's a horrible speaker. What is she hiding, candy?

Remember your standard?

Is this actually sounding good to you that standard should apply to Republicans and not Democrats?

People with nothing to hide, hide nothing

She gave speeches? When were the speeches given?

So this actually isn't your standard:

People with nothing to hide, hide nothing

OMG, you lied candy? Say it isn't so.

So you don't think when a horrible speaker is selling speeches for hundreds of thousands of US dollars a speech, it's not important what she said? She made major millions. You claim you want her to keep the reins on business, business who made her a hundred millionaire. And you can't find any relevance in that?

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.

 

[candycorn]

Instead of answering this simple question the hypocrites yell "deflection."

Yep, she has a very clear standard. I'm curious in candy's view what Hillary is hiding in her Wall Street speech transcripts. She was paid hundreds of thousands a speech. Obviously they want something beyond her waxing poetic. She's a horrible speaker. What is she hiding, candy?

People with nothing to hide, hide nothing

It’s standard and customary for Presidential nominees to release tax returns.
It’s never been neither standard nor customary for candidates to release transcripts of speeches.
As soon as it is, I’ll be happy to demand them of all candidates as being part of the standards and customs of seeking the office.

Meanwhile, thanks for bumping the thread again.

I can't find that clause in YOUR standard, can you show it to me?

People with nothing to hide, hide nothing

Seriously, that sounds good to you? Oh, and you're not a Democrat ....

Not sure what you mean by “clause”.

Meanwhile, all candidates or practically all, in the last 40 years have released tax returns.
Except for Donald Trump.

Makes you wonder what he is hiding….

You realize you're on Google, you can look up words like "clause" that you don't know. I'm not doing it for you.

Hillary won't release the text of her speeches she was paid hundreds of thousands ... each ... for. Makes you wonder what she's hiding. You should be all over this. Remember your standard?

"If it were Hillary Clinton"? What did she do for a 350k payment for 20 minutes in front of some Wall Street bankers? If the mainstream media was doing it's freaking job instead of acting as an agent of the IRS they would investigate how Hillary's time as Secretary/State enriched her and her husband with foreign donations and if they were really curious they could go into the money laundering scheme known as the "Clinton Foundation".

Democrats trust in their candidates is truly blind. If they had any integrity, they would want Hillary's transcripts more than anyone else

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Most of you dolts wouldn't know what to do with his tax returns if you had them in your grubby little hands. They're prepared by an army of tax attorney's and CPA's... they're not like your 1040EZ's.

 

[kaz]

What? You're going to pull something in your tongue twisting it like that. You said "people with nothing to hide, hide nothing." Pretty damn clear. Can't read your own statement?

It works for me. So what is Hillary hiding in the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street do you suppose?

Aren't you curious as to why she's hiding those speeches? You should be!

Not really.

If she is asked for her opinion as a private citizen, I could care less. She may like buttered pecan ice cream or think the Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl this year or that I should invest in rice futures….could care less.

I would like to know if my candidate for President is paying her/his fair share of taxes though. If she/he exploits loopholes that aren’t available to most Americans, that she/he doesn’t phony up her earnings to avoid taxes, etc…

That is the stuff that is important.

Hillary since early in her career has been government. They are asking her based on her selling her government experience. There is nothing "private citizen" about her, she's an institutional, establishment standard.

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.

Donald Trump’s Tax-Return Dodge - The New Yorker

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."

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

Speeches given as a private citizen… Again, Not seeing the parallel to the standard and customary release of tax returns by virtually every presidential candidate over the last 40 years…

Except your messiah, Donald Trump.

People with nothing to hide; hide nothing.

BTW: That Ms. Clinton made a bundle giving speeches is her right, is it not?

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.

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?

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?
