USMB liberals screeching "Trump getting away with not releasing taxes!!" - But is it even illegal?

[BlackAsCoal]

Notice how so many who demand Trump release his tax returns refuse to attach a copy of their own?

So much for transparency.....

You support a reality show host who has never held legislative office for president.

So much for intelligence. :0)

Invalid response.

Unaccompanied by a copy of personal tax return.

:0) It's a perfect response.

You support PT Bozo who has no intention of ever being the president .. and you're not quite capable of figuring that out.

Thus, what kind of response can you offer someone so obviously blind .. but to offer the truth. :0) It's up to you if you listen.

There is no "law" stating that a candidate MUST release his tax returns. However, should he do it? Yes. Just as Hillary should release the transcripts of her Wall Street Speeches, donations from Wall street contributors and EVERY page from her "so-called" Foundation and the Saudi contributors to such.

Will it happen? Absolutely not. But let's just concentrate on Trump and pretend that Hillary doesn't matter.

Lol...I love this logic. Hey! Should Trump do the same thing every candidate has done since the 60's? Sure! As soon as Hillary does something unprecedented then yeah.

Why the difference?

"BECAUSE!!!"

 

[LoneLaugher]

The primary issue is that Trump is was...and is....lying about it. He said he would release them. Then he said he can't release them until the audit is done. Those both turned out to be lies.

Had he said from the start that he would not release them, he'd be in a better position right now and his "fans" wouldn't be in this uncomfortable space where they have to defend his dishonesty.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Couldn't you just have joined one of those threads already existing or is it important that we go back to square one? And I mean for those on either side of this.

This thread isn't about Trump not releasing his tax returns.

It's about silly liberals trying to pretend there's a reason he should.

(Notice those silly liberals are trying their best to change the subject, as they always do.)

Yes, those silly liberals are trying their best to change the subject, insult and smear everybody, etc. as they always do. Particularly when they lose.

The liberals' latest diversion from their electoral unviability, is to scream in outrage that Donald Trump hasn't released his tax returns yet. Then they lapse into hysterical predictions of terrible crimes hidden in his taxes... with no evidence of any such crimes. Frankly there is far more evidence that Hillary violated national security laws... but the same liberals insist she is innocent.

Is there even a law saying Presidential candidates have to release their tax returns to the public at all?

As their electoral fortunes wane, the liberals are wandering off into a world where fantasy and demented rhetoric takes the place of truth for them, on more and more issues.

One of the most entertaining spectacles of the election season, is watching these people twist themselves into sillier and sillier postures, trying to pretend that innocuous behavior is outrageously criminal while criminal behavior is nothing to worry about.

it's a mere tradition for noms to release them, as we all know, leftist hate traditions, so they should cheer the fact that trump isn't bowing to tradition.

also, his lawyer advised him to wait until after the audit, and since hill is supposedly a lawyer, she should know that he should follow that advice.

not that facts and logic have dick to do with leftist anymore.

$19 trillion in debt is meaningless compared to trannies going to the toilet

Straw man fallacy – no one said anything about it being ‘illegal.’

Indeed, no one is making the ‘argument’ that Trump ‘must’ release his tax returns, he’s at liberty to hide them if he so desires, allow the voters to infer from that what they will, and vote accordingly.

I suspect that the IRS has probably already taken a good look at his returns for the last 7 years. He would be targeted if they found anything illegal.

Thing is that both parties have shaped tax laws. And we can't criticize people for taking advantage of them. I wonder about the sincerity of liberals who claim they should be paying more, but don't.

Meanwhile, this issue keeps getting raised while the left ignores some shady donations to Hillary and the Clinton foundation. That is more telling about her lack of character than taking legal tax breaks is about Trump's character.

He should just do what one of them John fella's in his head tell him to do.

Well, for starters, I suspect the IRS has done nothing out of the ordinary in regards to Trump's tax returns.

You can see the Clinton Foundation taxes as well as the Clinton family taxes, the latter they didn't have to provide. With Trump we simply don't know.

Good grief!! As if they wouldn't try to help out a Dem candidate.


Yea, sure, Clinton Foundation tax records were released and just happened to omit donations from foreign government. Of course, the useful idiots bought the excuse that it was a simple mistake. No, you don't make mistakes like that for so many years. And we're also supposed to believe that while contributions from foreign governments were accidentally mislabelled, that the favors granted by Sec. of State Clinton had nothing to do with the generous donations by those governments. How stupid are Clinton supporters when they believe anything that corrupt bitch tells them?

The Clinton family’s namesake foundation and signature health initiative are reviewing several years of tax returns after questions were raised about the charities’ reporting of tens of millions of dollars in grants from foreign governments, foundation officials said Friday.

The review comes amid intense scrutiny of the foundation’s donors and their political and business relationships with Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.


Much of that scrutiny has focused on Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, a period during which the foundation had pledged to restrict donations from foreign governments, seek State Department clearance for new foreign donations, and disclose all its donors. In at least some instances, the foundation appears to have ignored those voluntary agreements.

But like all nonprofit organizations, the foundation is also required by law to file publicly available tax returns detailing broad categories of revenue and expenses, including the total financing it received from government entities. The Clinton Foundation and its work are heavily financed by grants from foreign governments, and the foundation reported substantial income from government entities as recently as 2009, when tax returns indicate it took in more than $122 million in government grants.

For the next three tax years, however, the foundation reported no government financing at all. Craig Minassian, a foundation spokesman, said the foreign grants had accidentally been lumped into a different category, listing other grants, gifts and large contributions.

The total revenue reported on tax returns for those years remained accurate, said Mr. Minassian, who disputed a characterization by Reuters, which first reported the errors, that the omission resulted in "underreporting or overreporting" foreign contributions.



The Clinton Foundation admitted Sunday that it had "made mistakes" on its tax forms and "will likely refile forms for some years."

Maura Pally, the acting CEO of the foundation, wrote on its website that their total revenue had been accurately reported on each year's form, but that government grant money was "mistakenly combined with other donations."

"So yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future," Pally wrote.

The Clinton Foundation came under scrutiny recently with the pending release of the book "Clinton Cash" and the kickoff of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

The book, written by Peter Scwheizer, a former fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, suggests that Clinton's actions as Secretary of State benefited some of the foundation's large donors.

Conspiracies, that's all we get.

Well, except for the off topic cut and paste job you just pulled.

Serious question and try and put your personal politics aside. Has anyone here ever actually looked at any of the tax returns released by any Presidential candidate? I haven't.

You support PT Bozo who has no intention of ever being the president .. and you're not quite capable of figuring that out.

Sorry, inadequate response, no attachment of your personal income tax returns.

And, oh, your clairvoyant license is suspended for 30 days.

Unless, of course, you're calling Nutty Old Uncle Bernie Sanders - my choice for president - "PT Bozo".

Please do not reply unless you attach a copy of your personal income tax return. If you filed one....
