What is Trump hiding? Where are his Tax Returns

[Slyhunter]

Here's the problem; Nobody who is voting for Trump is going to suddenly not vote for them just because they see his tax records. Additionally, nobody who is not voting for Trump will suddenly decide to vote for him simply because he releases them. Therefore he has nothing to gain to release them.

Suddenly? No. But if someone on the fence can be shown that he give $5 million to charity…wouldn’t that be a plus? If there is nothing shady (no offshore accounts, paid 20+ percent, etc…) that would be a plus.

Additionally…if you release it shows that you’re “playing the game” like the other candidates. The optics are favorable.

And then there is the downside.

Tonight they were not showing his shrill bitching about Hillary on ABC news. They were showing the silliness of his claim that he can’t release the records, Hillary talking about her having released 33 years, and showing Drumpf’s flip flops.

It won’t happen every night (of course) but it’s just another way that you get moved off of the attack—by having questions asked about you. I guess he can just claim whoever doing the questioning is menstruating….that worked in the past.

That's your problem, no Conservative cares whether he has offshore accounts or not. No Conservative cares where he makes the products he sells. We just assume he does have offshore accounts, and we assume he does smart business decisions in manufacturing product offshore like everyone else in business who is making a profit.

Those voting for Trump are low information voters. They are the ones Trump said he could kill someone and they would still vote for him

It is moderates and independents who will wonder what Trumps has to hide

You mean the stuff he says he will put a stop to?

Interesting.

Meanwhile he'll have to defend stuff like that on the stump

Like, what will the IRS learn if you make your information you filed with the IRS public. It would be much like your going to High School and wanting to take Chemistry II at the same university where you took Chem I. The registrar asks if you passed Chem I and you claim you can’t release the records because the registrar’s office is investigating your records. Duh.

WTF? That is one brain fart of an analogy.

What is he hiding?

That he was short selling Apple stock?

You likely lost your brains during a fart once upon a time.

Releasing your records does zero damage if the people you're worried about receiving your records are the same folks you filed the paperwork with in the first place. As far as I know, one does not get audited before they file....

He likely keeps a lot of his money offshore like most ultra wealthy persons do. But who knows....he's hiding his records.

I give Obama almost no chance of winning in 2016.

One would have to ask why Trump has any supporters at all. When you do ask the question, the overwhelming load of crap you hear from his supporters is that “he is different”. But isn’t it strange how whenever you question Drumpf, the first thing the same supporters do is draw parallels between he and other politicians . If he’s truly different, they wouldn’t be doing that; obviously.

You know, that's a legitimate question. As it was when we asked the same of those who supported Obama. What had he done? A junior Senator with no record of anything but hanging around some very questionable characters.

We were called "racists".

Are you too a racist?

The 2012 Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, said Wednesday on Facebook that it is “disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters.”

Mr. Romney noted that, “while not a likely circumstance, the potential for hidden inappropriate associations with foreign entities, criminal organizations, or other unsavory groups is simply too great a risk to ignore for someone who is seeking to become commander-in-chief.”

He repeated a charge he made in February that the only reason not to release the returns is that they must contain a “bombshell.”

Mr. Trump has offered shifting explanations for his lack of disclosure, including the fact that his returns were currently under audit. He said voters aren’t interested in the returns. And he said they don’t reveal wealth.

That’s true, but they would show information about his sources of income, his aggressiveness in tax planning and his charitable deductions. Mr. Trump claims a net worth exceeding $10 billion, though independent estimates peg that far lower.

Mr. Thorndike, who directs the Tax History Project at Tax Analysts, a nonprofit tax policy center, said the tradition of presidential and other candidates releasing returns exists for a reason.


“It’s the principle of the disclosure, that someone running for the highest office in the land and someone who incidentally would be making sure that the rest of us live up to our tax obligations, should be willing to show us that he lives up to his,” Mr. Thorndike said. “It’s the refusal to release that makes it such a big deal, because it suggests you’re hiding something, even though you might not.”​

Furor Grows Over Trump’s Withheld Tax Returns

I could care less about his tax returns. Just like Al's Sharps

Sure he has. Only nitwits and crackheads believe otherwise. You’re 0 for 2.

We can learn if he pays the same % as we do….
We can learn how charitable he is with his money…
We can learn who (if anyone) he is claiming as a dependent…
We can learn how savvy an investor he is given that he is supposed to be smart with money and all….
We can learn how he makes his money; is it from just whoring out the name Trump (not Drumpf—his real name) or does he actually produce something???

Mr Trump won't release his taxes because he's embarrassed by $10 million Kickstarter donation he made to fund a shitty web series.

Today Drumpf admitted that he works very hard to pay as little tax as possible. It will be fun to see just how successful he is at avoiding paying taxes.

What’s he hiding?

He won't release those taxes until he consults and gets approval from John Miller and John Barron.

As always, you’re full of shit.

Hillary has paid for 33 years at least. We have those returns.
Donald? He’s hiding something…otherwise he’d be releasing his records….

Maybe he doesn’t pay any…..
