Fact-Checking Trump's BS at yesterdays' news conference (No.2)

[nat4900]

Trump stated:

“The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters. … You learn very little to a tax return.”


Trump is wrong on both counts. A Pew Research Center poll conducted Jan. 4 to 9 found that 60 percent of Americans believed Trump has a responsibility to release his tax returns.

Meanwhile, tax experts say that tax returns provide insight about a person’s finances in several key areas.

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.

Trump claims he has given $102 million to charity in the past five years, but a Post investigation found not a cent in actual cash — mostly just free rounds of golf, given away by his courses for charity auctions and raffles. Trump’s tax return would clear up exactly how much he has really given to charity — indeed, whether he has given anything at all.

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 actually goes to taxes.

Quite being a hypocrite.
You guys just want his taxes for cannon fodder.
I could care less about Clinton taxes. Because they didn't work to earn any of it anyway.
Taxes mean nothing.
Romney had wealth of 250 million and you guys made it out like he was the richest man in the world. And the Clintons are now richer than he is.

Forbes estimates the combined worth of Hillary and former president Bill Clinton at $45 million.

So, to morons like you the fact that Trump stated that he would release his taxes after that [fantasy] audit, was bullshit......and the fact that EVERY other president has divulged his tax return was ALSO bullshit......

You'd think that a successful businessman would want to flaunt his wealth, investments, earnings and charity-giving.....LOL

Pretty sure he doesn't want to flaunt that (a) he has ENDLESS conflicts around the globe that make it virtually impossible for him to be an ethical president, (b) he's paid zero taxes in 20 years and is therefore a selfish, piece-of-shit taker and (c) he's really not worth anything close to what he claims.

Hell, he may even have a deduction for a penis pump. Who knows. But since he's lied about releasing them, and refuses to do so, I say we get free reign to speculate.

Interesting. You pseudocons say Clinton couldn't have been damaged by the leaks if she wasn't corrupt.

So the same is true about Trump and his tax return. You can't make cannon fodder out of pure driven snow.

He's obviously hiding something.

Clearly nothing relevant to this thread.

The Clintons are only worth about $110 million.

Nice try.

And it was Newt Gingrich who went all marxist about Romney's wealth.

Well, its really up to you....Rather than posting things that you heard on FOX (..."you guys want trump's tax returns for fodder....") then you may not be labeled a "moron".

Trump and his supporters know good and well that releasing his tax returns are of NO benefit to him, all it would do is open him up to scrutiny and attacks from his opposition. I don't believe the "audit" excuse at all... He hid behind that so he could avoid opening that door. We are never going to see those tax returns and we all know why.

 

[g5000]

Like Clinton, Obama will earn at least half a million per speech on what Reagan called the "mashed potato circuit".

Since Obama is a very young 55 years old, he stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars over the next couple of decades, just for running his mouth.

It's amazing an ex-President can earn more in one hour than he did in an entire year in the most important job on the planet.

Although Obama and his ego will have a difficult time staying inside of 60 minutes.

Just for "fun", CONSIDER that the entire election was NOT to determine what "benefits" the Trumpster.
