What is Trump hiding? Where are his Tax Returns

[Camp]

Yes easy it's not the law but if you think people won't think the worst you're a fool Every President or hopeful has done so What is drump hiding??

What business is it of yours? What does the revealing of personal taxes prove when becoming a President? How does a tax return make a better or worse President?

You are wrong, not every Presidential hopeful has done so, it started in the 60's.

Should everyone release their taxes, if they don't, everyone could be hiding something. OMG!

Someone who might be the leader of the free world should and yes I said all presidents my mis speak

Why? What does the taxes prove? Have you read every Presidential candidates tax returns and decided to vote or not vote for them based on their tax returns? Since 1960 how many Presidential candidates tax returns have you read? I am sure you have read them all since it is such a big issue. Am I right?

Why do you think every voter in America should be restricted to your own personal opinion of what data they deserve to have for making their decision. You seem very insistent that this particular data is not needed and hence, should be allowed to be withheld from the public. All based on you own very personal opinion.

Why do liberals believe only Republicans should be bound by their demands, demands liberals don't adhere to, when the law does not require them to do so? Just because liberals hypocritically demand others comply does not mean they have to. Deal with it.

Are you playing stupid or are you really genuinely stupid? Do you actually, in fact, don't know or perceive the difference between college records and speech transcripts and a legal document such as a tax return? Do you not understand the difference between tax returns, which have been traditionally released by Presidential candidates, and the stuff you are demanding, which has never been released by Presidential candidates?

What does it reveal? In Nixon's case, it revealed he was a tax cheat. He released his while he was being audited. And why did Nixon release his taxes? He did it to prove he was "not a crook". Of course he was, but oh well.

And after the release of his tax returns he was still voted into office. Proving, his tax returns mean nothing to the voters as Trumps won't. If you are or are not supporting Trump, his tax returns won't sway you one way or another. I'm not voting for Trump or Clinton, their tax returns had nothing to do with my decision.

Again... Romney lost in part to the low rates he paid on his return

WTF? Please post a link to support that opinion.

Harry Reid admittedly lied about Romney's taxes, from the floor of the Senate, a crime and an abuse of power. Romney's taxes proved he paid his required taxes AND gave more to charity than Obama and Biden combined.

LOL He's a lot more wealthy than Obama and Biden.

So. Even based on their salary rhe percentage of what they gave to charity was miserly. Libs don't belueve in giving THEIR money to charity - they take our money and give it away. Of course their idea of charitable organizations are big donors, like the ones Obama gave our tax dollars to so his donors wouldn't lose their investment money in Solyndra.

easy is legally stupid .. as is the majority of Trump supporters.

 

[HappyJoy]

your choice, my choice is for Trump to make his tax returns public so everyone can have an idea what type of person they may, or may not be voting for ... everyone, not just me ... get it?

How can you tell what kind of person you are voting for by looking at their tax statements? I have never looked at any Presidential tax statements before I voted, have you? Have you personally looked at every potential candidates taxes to decide on how to vote? Is Trump releasing his taxes going to cause you to vote for him because of what you see in them?

At least it would show what kind of

there's a plethora of possibilities revealed in a persons tax return ... everyone isnt running for the most important job in the country, if not the world ...

How many Presidential hopefuls tax returns have you read over the years? All of them? 40? 35? 25? 15? 10? 5? 1?

I'm sure that is why you chose Obama over Clinton in 2008, right?

NONE <<I let cpa's and others who are far more astute at looking at tax returns I believe the moron who has had over 1000 law suites to his credit is hiding beaucoup

So you are going to let others decide what is in the tax returns and take their word for it and you are calling Trump a moron? Lol!

OK wise guy You get me the copies of the liar drumps returns and I'll check them out

Have you looked at Clinton or Sanders returns? They are available, I'm sure you want to dig through those so you can make an informed decision. Of course I'm sure you saw Clinton's taxes in 2008 and Obama's. What did their taxes tell you?

The Clinton's paid 36% in federal income tax which I'm surprised was that high. However they also used a couple of devices such as establishing LLCs to limit some of the taxes they paid, mix bag but they mostly appeared to pay their share.

They contributed 11% of their income to charity, I find this average.

They like drumps suggestions Can't do shite but flip flops on everything he says

 

[Papageorgio]

So you admit it's none of your business, and Trump does not have to comply with the whiny liberal demands. Thank you.

I don't think that's really the point. To me, the point is why is he not releasing them? Why should he get special treatment? All other candidates release them to the public, and he should too. We already know he is obviously hiding something and he is a sleaze. Looking like he is hiding something just confirms that.

He isn't required to. He is getting no special treatment, he made a decision to go against a silly tradition that started in the 60s.

If it was required by law to release your taxes then he should. I would feel the same if Clinton didn't want to release his taxes.

I think the tradition is silly, I am a liberal in that area.

Every Presidential candidate should release their tax returns.

Fact check: Trump’s tax returns

Donald Trump said “there’s nothing to learn” from his tax returns, but experts say there’s plenty to learn from presidential candidates’ tax returns, including sources of income, effective tax rates, charitable giving habits and more.

[...]

But voters learn several pieces of information from candidates’ tax returns.

Roberton Williams, the Sol Price fellow at the nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, told us that there are three things we could learn from Trump’s tax returns: details about where he gets his income and how much it is; “how he’s structuring his income for tax purposes”; and what kind of deductions he takes, including charitable giving. If Trump had overseas income or foreign bank accounts, for instance, that information would be on his tax return.

Jeremy Scott, editor in chief of the commentary and analysis products for the nonprofit Tax Analysts, told us in a phone interview that it was “strange for Trump to say you don’t learn anything,” when just four years ago, Romney’s effective tax rate, revealed through his tax returns, was a significant issue. (In fact, Romney’s 14% effective tax rate in 2010, due to most of his income coming from dividends and capital gains, became fodder for Obama campaign attack ads.)

Scott told us that ever since President Richard Nixon released his returns in 1973, the candidate’s returns have been “a form of checking on how a candidate conducts his financial affairs.” Conflicts of interest can be exposed, as well as how a candidates’ individual tax policy squares with his proposals.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, said Scott, pushed the idea of paying your fair share, but his returns — released by his presidential library after he was in office — show he was “actually very aggressive at trying to minimize his own taxes.”

The Tax Analysts’ Tax History Project is compiling an online archive of candidates’ returns. Project Director Joseph J. Thorndike wrote in a May 12 blog post on taxnotes.com that beyond an effective tax rate, “[r]eturns can shed light on the way a candidate lives his life. It can tell us about charitable giving as well as personal borrowing and investment activity. Returns can also illuminate the complicated business arrangements that often provide the bulk of a candidate’s income, especially for a real estate mogul like Trump.”

And the returns also “tell us a lot about how candidates conduct themselves in the gray areas of the tax law,” Thorndike wrote. “Some items on a tax return are black and white, like the income reported on a W-2. But other items, especially for someone with lots of non-salary business income, are open to debate and interpretation.”

Trump’s comments also prompted Time magazine to outline “5 Interesting Things We Learned From Presidential Tax Returns,” including: Obama gave sizable charitable contributions to his controversial pastor; Romney had an unusually high IRA balance; and President George H.W. Bush gave nearly 62% of his 1991 income to charity.

So you personally read over every Presidential hopefuls tax return. Have you personally looked over Clinton's tax returns? What did that tell you about her?

Is Trump releasing his tax returns going to sway you to vote for him?

Oh, you little bitch, moving the goal posts are we?

We learned quite a bit from Clinton's tax returns. All you have to do is look for them, MR. Magoo.

Hillary releases 8 years of tax returns

And, no I won't be voting for Trump however there are millions who haven't decided yet and an informed electorate is a smarter electorate and that benefits everyone.

But, what did Trump say about Romney's tax returns?

Trump to GOP: Stop playing into President Obama's hands

TRUMP: It's going to be very close. I think Mitt was hurt really very badly by this whole thing with the income tax returns. I believe he should have given them April 1, but I didn't think going into a little bit of detail without going into a lot of detail was positive thing. He'll come back. He has proven to be very resilient guy. He has been hurt a number of times by number of different things, he comes back. He really seems to be very tough and resilient. You have to hand it to him.

And Newt is just great. Every time there is a debate he does so well. You have to give him a lot credit for that.

VAN SUSTEREN: Has Governor Romney been boxed on this tax return thing, and if he called you up tonight and said, Donald what should I do about tax return thing, should I release them or not?

TRUMP: I think first answer would have been good. It should have been delivered a certain way. But April 1st historically is the time that everybody gives them.

I don't care what Trump says, you are complaining about Trump not releasing his tax returns. Have you read any Presidential candidates tax returns? Has any Presidential tax return swayed you to vote or not vote for them?

This has already been answered dude by me and others. I rely on people who understand taxes better than me to go through them and tell us what they find.

Just like when I had pneumonia one time I didn't rip the x-ray out of the doctors hands because only I know best.

I'm sure that is why you chose Obama over Clinton in 2008, right?

No, I never voted for Obama.

and Yes I pay attention to records of presidential candidates.

next?

How many Presidential hopeful's tax returns have you read?

apparently more than you.

Tell me which Presidential hopeful personal taxes did you go over line by line. I'm sure we are tied.

As you libs point out, records - ALL records- help voters get to know a candidate.

According to libs, any candidate who deals or refuses to release records / info / transcrips MUST be hiding something.

If you think the reason Obama refuses to unseal his records and the reason Hillary refuses to release her speech transcripts is not because they are trying to hide something then you are as stupid as Gruber and the liberal leadership think you are.

But you know they are...you said it yourself, as mentioned in the 1st two statements of this post.

Where and to who his investments were made ,,where he received monies from ,,who did he pay off ,,who paid him what deductions did he take ??? All silly to ask for from the perhaps leader of America ,,the free world??

I would assume most Presidential candidates don't reveal their college records is because of bad grades, they happen, many people get them. They are also in their late teens and early 20s, not something I'm super concerned about and before a lifetime of experience for them takes place.

You're free to insist all candidates do something that few actually follow through on, there isn't a precedent set for college transcripts and other than a couple wingnuts on the right, nobody cares.

Tax returns though are something that most people want released and represent the candidate as an adult and much more recent.

[Seawytch]

I actually don't give a shit about his tax returns. He's a douche that lies about everything so I already know he's lying about his taxes. He needs to release dick pics since he guaranteed he has "no problem".

So liberals are fascinated / obsessed with other people's money and seeing penises (a la Anthony Weiner)....okay..... 'Nuff said.

Liberals didn't bring up his dick, he and the other GOP candidates did. They're obsessed with dick size. Here's Trump describing his:

It isn't required by law, is it? I don't care if he releases it or not, he doesn't get my support either way.

Your own very personal opinion is based on to holding to a tradition.

How many on this board would flip flop positions if Clinton decided not to release her tax returns? I would still hold to the same opinion, until required by law a candidate doesn't need to release it.

Very true, I also think there is a tinge of birtherism as they only care about college records because they believe it will prove Obama was porn in Kenya.

Most candidates don't. Bush's were released without his approval, he didn't do it. The RW demands over and over what they themselves don't have to produce be it college records or transcripts from speeches.

What business is it of yours? What does the revealing of personal taxes prove when becoming a President? How does a tax return make a better or worse President?

You are wrong, not every Presidential hopeful has done so, it started in the 60's.

Should everyone release their taxes, if they don't, everyone could be hiding something. OMG!

What does it reveal? In Nixon's case, it revealed he was a tax cheat. He released his while he was being audited. And why did Nixon release his taxes? He did it to prove he was "not a crook". Of course he was, but oh well.

And after the release of his tax returns he was still voted into office. Proving, his tax returns mean nothing to the voters as Trumps won't. If you are or are not supporting Trump, his tax returns won't sway you one way or another. I'm not voting for Trump or Clinton, their tax returns had nothing to do with my decision.

I don't think that's really the point. To me, the point is why is he not releasing them? Why should he get special treatment? All other candidates release them to the public, and he should too. We already know he is obviously hiding something and he is a sleaze. Looking like he is hiding something just confirms that.

He isn't required to. He is getting no special treatment, he made a decision to go against a silly tradition that started in the 60s.

If it was required by law to release your taxes then he should. I would feel the same if Clinton didn't want to release his taxes.

I think the tradition is silly, I am a liberal in that area.

Where and to who his investments were made ,,where he received monies from ,,who did he pay off ,,who paid him what deductions did he take ??? All silly to ask for from the perhaps leader of America ,,the free world??

Who cares? It is not required by law to release your personal tax records. If this were Clinton not releasing the records, you would be siding with her or not saying a word. I would side with Clinton. She shouldn't release her speech transcripts.

If it was the law to release your tax records, then I would say Trump needs to release them, the idea that people force candidates to release their taxes because of a silly tradition is stupid.

Yes easy it's not the law but if you think people won't think the worst you're a fool Every President or hopeful has done so What is drump hiding??

Someone who might be the leader of the free world should and yes I said all presidents my mis speak

Why? What does the taxes prove? Have you read every Presidential candidates tax returns and decided to vote or not vote for them based on their tax returns? Since 1960 how many Presidential candidates tax returns have you read? I am sure you have read them all since it is such a big issue. Am I right?

Why do you think every voter in America should be restricted to your own personal opinion of what data they deserve to have for making their decision. You seem very insistent that this particular data is not needed and hence, should be allowed to be withheld from the public. All based on your own very personal opinion.

It isn't required by law, is it? I don't care if he releases it or not, he doesn't get my support either way.

Your own very personal opinion is based on to holding to a tradition.

How many on this board would flip flop positions if Clinton decided not to release her tax returns? I would still hold to the same opinion, until required by law a candidate doesn't need to release it.

so you're not voting for Trump or Clinton .... tax returns from presidential candidates mean absolutely nothing to you ...

so why are you even on this thread ? to disrespect other people who care far more than you do?

Why do liberals believe only Republicans should be bound by their demands, demands liberals don't adhere to, when the law does not require them to do so? Just because liberals hypocritically demand others comply does not mean they have to. Deal with it.

Are you playing stupid or are you really genuinely stupid? Do you actually, in fact, don't know or perceive the difference between college records and speech transcripts and a legal document such as a tax return? Do you not understand the difference between tax returns, which have been traditionally released by Presidential candidates, and the stuff you are demanding, which has never been released by Presidential candidates?

As you libs point out, records - ALL records- help voters get to know a candidate.

According to libs, any candidate who deals or refuses to release records / info / transcrips MUST be hiding something.

If you think the reason Obama refuses to unseal his records and the reason Hillary refuses to release her speech transcripts is not because they are trying to hide something then you are as stupid as Gruber and the liberal leadership think you are.

But you know they are...you said it yourself, as mentioned in the 1st two statements of this post.

I would assume most Presidential candidates don't reveal their college records is because of bad grades, they happen, many people get them. They are also in their late teens and early 20s, not something I'm super concerned about and before a lifetime of experience for them takes place.

Ooooh, I see what you did there.
