Trump has a very good reason for not releasing his taxes

[HappyJoy]

Dummy, it's been done for decades. Those that refuse, lose.

Name one who lost because he refused to release his tax return.

You've never heard of them. Like Trump, they couldn't win.

In other words, you can't name one. That's because it never happened.

Those who couldn't release knew thy couldn't win.

Unlike Trump, they were smart enough not to make that public.

Did you think no one would notice that you still haven't posted an example?

Can I have an example of a President who didn't release any tax returns since this tradition started? Thank you.

Why not? Sure it is.

Why Trump tap dances on tax returns

Donald Trump has reason to be reluctant to release his tax returns. In a New York Times piece about Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s deputy national security adviser, Rhodes cynically explains that today’s journalism consists of young people whom he flat-out describes as ignorant. “The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old,” Rhodes said, “and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

What do 27-year-old reporters know about how wealthy big-business people file their taxes? In the real world, moguls like Donald Trump hire accountants and tax attorneys to file what are known as “aggressive” returns – seeking every possible deduction, exclusion, tax break or deferral.

Given this, Donald Trump is likely audited nearly every year, with the IRS settling with him on some of these issues, often for less than the IRS initially claimed he owed. If Trump releases his taxes now, the IRS – to avoid embarrassment or public criticism that they are giving a rich guy a break – might be reluctant to negotiate down from what they initially argued he owes. Therefore, Trump is likely telling the truth that his attorneys advised him not to release his tax returns until after the audit had been settled.​

Absolute unmitigated bullshit. His excuse was "it's none of your business", but rather than stand by his statements (which he rarely does because his supporters don't care about truth or integrity), Trumpsters will excuse anything and everything he does because they have just as little personal integrity as he does.

Substitute "Hillary" for "Trump" and you have a statement that is amazingly honest.

Nope. The issue is whether anyone has lost the election because he didn't release his taxes. The answer is "no."

What a surprise, it's the usual dupes who don't think Trump shouldn't be vetted like all previous candidates and are supporting him even though his stated policies/positions have no specifics/no substance. Their brilliance is astounding.

Another far left drone chiming in thinking that tax returns vet a presidential candidate..

The three that held back were Ross Perot. Alright, he never gave anything to anybody. Ronald Reagan only gave partial, and Bill Clinton only gave very little

Nope. The issue is whether anyone has lost the election because he didn't release his taxes. The answer is "no."

Actually, we don't know, there hasn't been a general election candidate to not provide a tax return who became president since this tradition began. So, there is not way to prove the point of your question.

Looking into this, it does appear that Ford only provided a tax summary, what happened to him?

There hasn't been a losing candidate who also did not release his tax returns. So my answer stands: no one has lost the election because he didn't release his taxes.

See how the far left drones choose to ignore Ross Perot!

Obama certainly has been vetted, it's never stopped. Unfortunately, he wasn"t vetted enough before he won the nomination and look what we got. Clinton has faced how many years of incompetent congressional witch hunts, which has proven nothing yet? But I'd love to see her transcript of her speech to Goldman Sachs.

And yet this drone will still vote for Hilary as they voted for Obama twice..

The far left will always vote for worse than Bush!

Wrong again far left drone!

Gerald Ford did not release his returns, but he did release summary data about his federal taxes for the years between 1966 and 1975. [Source]
