Why hide them after showing the ONE where he paid ,,, that still left out much info?

Ask Obama.

His IRS leaked the 2005 return.

My guess is because it backfired. Obama sought to rig the election by painting Trump as paying nothing, but though his percentage was lower than most middle Americans, the amount he paid negated the message Obama sought.
WHY would he show one where Trump actually paid? Was he trying to hurt Hill or himself?

Trump paid on every return. That was undoubtedly the least amount. CBS went on for days about how Trump "only" paid 23%

It just didn't take.

If the Obama regime had been competent, Hillary would have won.
Don’t blame the democrats. The people have the government they deserve

The people have the best government in the last 40 years, by a long shot.
 
what about the other 20 or so years .....?

What about them?
Why hide them after showing the ONE where he paid ,,, that still left out much info?

Why would he do that?

Also, you don't know that he showed the one he did, you made that up. You believe what you want to believe
But there are those here that believe Obama released it???? Guess they believe what they want to also

I can't speak for others. Not that you can either, but unlike you I don't try.

I don't know who released it. Could have been Trump, Obama or someone else. No idea
No idea??? WHY would Obama release a return that makes trump look good???

Capitalism destroys the ruling class. Free and unfettered markets are a ladder of success that any person with talent and ambition can climb. This threatens the position of the ruling elite, hence the fabrication of idiocy such as Marxism, which is just Monarchist rule repackaged to appeal to the stupid and lazy.


The point of Marxism is to destroy the bourgeoisie, the middle class of merchants and entrepreneurs, so as to destroy the path of economic freedom and put the yolk of serfdom back on the masses. The goal is to protect the wealth, power, and position of the ruling elite from the usurpers who climb above their station.

Marx was a student of Hegel, Hegelian thought revolves around, in fact is consumed with the desire to restore the Monarchy and roll back the enlightenment. Hegel termed absolute and unquestioning obedience to the crown, or state, to be an "ethical life." Liberty in any form, questioning of the absolute rule of the monarchy or state was therefor immoral and unethical.

Wow. Did Trump study "Hegelian thought"? Demanding loyalty and making laws via EO's and "justice", i.e. "lock her up, seems to be a good fit with your last paragraph.


No idea, dullard.

Oh, and you fucking liar, Obama used EO's at 7 times the frequency that Trump does. Further, the main use of EO's by Trump is to roll back the illegal acts of your god-emperor.

Here's how many executive orders Trump signed in his first 200 days compared to Obama, Bush, and Clinton

Did Obama, Bush or Clinton issue an EO to separate five year old children from their moms? BTW, I reported this post to the powers that be. Your anger is pathological and your attacks on my character are uncalled for. I suppose you feel safe in doing so while hiding behind your keyboard.


Yes, Obama did, fucking liar.

WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama separated parents from their children at the border.

Obama prosecuted mothers for coming to the United States illegally. He fast tracked deportations. And yes, he housed unaccompanied children in tent cities.

For much of the country — and President Donald Trump — the prevailing belief is that Obama was the president who went easier on immigrants.

Neither Obama nor Democrats created Trump's zero-tolerance policy, which calls for every illegal border crosser to be prosecuted and leads to their children being detained in separate facilities before being shipped to a shelter and eventually a sponsor family.}

Yes, Obama separated families at the border, too

Try again, you fucking liar.
No one cares about immigrants. Quit being a sheep they can lead you so easily. Focus on middle class wages

Your fellow Communist decided to lie.

Obviously he thinks his fucking lie will help the Communist cause.

Back to the seminal question:

What I think doesn't matter. What exists is an economic system which has a public sector and a private sector; a a system which has been pretty successful for centuries.

We've had ups and downs, bull and bear markets, wars and peace, and until January of 2017 a good ride with some serious hiccups since the late 18th Century. What we face today is a nation divided and probably more divided than at any other time in our history.

We can see the division every day on this message board, it become tedious to continue to read vacuous posts based on Straw Men and Red Herrings.

The question is about Capitalism. Some seek free markets, i.e. unregulated by government, and never consider how such an economic system can lead to monopolies, cartels and fraud.


The division is the handiwork of you Communists who are engaged in a civil war in an attempt to overthrown the United States Constitution.

Speculation is irrelevant. Obama illegally leaked the return in an effort to create a narrative. The narrative failed because the lie of CBS and the NY Times was called out.

Western Europe is Capitalist for starters.

Not according to the democrats here.

Western Europe has heavy socialism. The only reason they have survived is because of small, homogeneous societies with a shared value system.

The influx of Muzzie Beasts guarantees collapse in the European socialist welfare states.

Communist Europe had solved it's diversity problem, and now Capitalists are supporting them to come back in.

The idea was Capitalist motivated, in the first place.

Not Enough Immigration? Leading German Economist Demands More Workers from Abroad - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International

Do you even know what capitalism is?

Klaus Zimmermann is an imperialist who seeks a slave labor force to thwart the market mechanisms that are weighing on the failed socialist state in Germany. This is a far left Keynesian mush brain.


But not all. Indeed, according to Klaus Zimmermann, president of the influential German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), Germany needs even more immigrants. In an interview with the newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt, Zimmermann said that the country's aging society means that Germany "badly needs workers and immigrants from abroad." He said the labor market needed "net immigration of at least 500,000 more people each year to ensure our economic strength."
,

As I said, he is an imperialist who thinks the importation of slave labor is the answer to gentrification in a society that has lived beyond their means for 50 years. Suddenly Germany finds it has no way to support the massive welfare system that lets workers retire at 55 at full salaries.

The question for Zimmermann is, how'd that work out for Rome?

No, Western Europe is Capitalist, because they do have free markets. (They don't have a command economy, but rather a free market one)

You don't understand what Right-Wing is, you don't understand what Capitalism, and you don't understand that Capitalism sells out to Liberal values.

What do the British savages down South understand?
 
I think in general the right wing is more ignorant than the left. This thread has shifted my perspective somewhat, though. It's closer than I thought.

What is the left correct about?

Completely unchecked capitalism does not work for ordinary people. It eats itself and becomes destructive to the comfort of everyday people.
Wrong. Unchecked capitalism produced the greatest increase in the standard of living for the common man ever seen.

The industrial revolution didn't hurt. ;)

Right, which was caused by "unchecked capitalism," not government

Which led to the Gilded Age: Poverty, unsafe working conditions, child labor and labor unions

Haha, this is a great laughing material.

The Capitalist elite are a major problem now, as they buy their way to power, to import immigrants, and export jobs overseas just to maximize profits, so they can grow in wealth, at our expense.

Capitalism often behaves like Communism, cutting corners on products to make profits, while Communists cut corners on products to make ends meet.

Note that new Capitalist apartments, or condos often look like the ones the Communists made in recent years.

It's about the big bucks, pride is destroyed.

Link, evidence?

The NYT received two pages of Trump’s 2005 returns delivered anonymously to their offices. Speculation is that Trump leaked it himself to prove that he actually paid taxes. It was only the first and last page of his return and it showed no details other than income of $153 million and taxes paid of $38.5 million.

Analysts had been speculating that Trump hadn’t paid taxes since the 1980’s. The return proved them wrong. It makes no logical sense for Obama to leak such information which was helpful to the Trump campaign.

Who Leaked Part of Donald Trump’s 2005 Federal Tax Return?
