.

What would you do with his taxes if he released them?

Evaluate if he has any conflicts that could interfere with him being President

And you're qualified to do that?

Yup

I have been certified by top members of the state and federal department of taxes and measures and my judgment has been certified to be dead-on balls accurate. I have a certificate of validation.

why would he there is no legal reason to release his taxes

No legal reason for Obama to release his birth certificate or college records....yet Trump demanded it

And Obama didn't release his college records did he?

So you can demand all you want

Obama released ten years of taxes....Trump didn't

Trump demanded a college transcript yet refused to release his own

so what?

What you don't seem to understand is that releasing taxes or medical records or college transcripts is required in order to run for or get elected

And please don't tell me you are shocked by the do as I say not as I do actions of politicians

I'm betting "no."

Under federal law, when certain members of Congress ask for private tax information, the IRS has no choice but to hand it over. That’s contrary to the administration’s position, which is that the disclosure would be unconstitutional.

I don't think Republicans know what is and isn't constitutional.

Donald Trump has reneged on a promise he made nearly four years ago to release his tax returns publicly. By keeping his returns hidden, he has broken the precedent every president and major party nominee for president has followed over the past 40 years. His actions also heighten concerns about what he could be hiding.

The new Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives has pledged to conduct the kind of vigorous oversight of the executive branch that has been lacking for the past two years. As part of that oversight agenda, House leaders have said that they intend to invoke their authority under the law to obtain Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to review them. Trump’s Treasury Department is threatening to withhold the returns from Congress and take the issue to the courts, where his team reportedly hopes to bog down the request in a “quagmire of arcane legal arguments.”1 But the law could not be clearer: Congress’ tax committees have the authority to obtain Trump’s tax returns on request—and the U.S. Treasury Department has no basis for refusing. Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin would be violating the law if he directs the IRS to stonewall Congress.

This report explains why Congress has not only the clear authority to obtain Trump’s tax returns, but also the constitutional responsibility to do so given his secrecy and his domestic and foreign business entanglements, as well as the powers of the office. It explains that the law giving Congress this authority was intended for situations such as this—to enable Congress to exercise oversight over the executive branch and monitor conflicts of interest. While regular citizens can expect that their tax returns will remain private, the president of the United States should have no such expectation, especially when he refuses to divest his domestic and international business holdings. Tax returns contain information not available elsewhere that could provide critical information to complete the president’s financial picture.

Congress has multiple reasons to obtain and review President Trump’s tax returns—reasons that are not only legitimate uses of its legislative powers, but also urgently needed, including:

1. To determine if U.S. national security is at risk of being compromised by the president’s financial conflicts of interest
2. To determine if Trump has conflicts of interests bearing on his trade and tariffs policies
3. To determine whether the president is violating the U.S. Constitution by receiving benefits from foreign countries without Congress’ consent
4. To determine whether he is benefiting from his tax policies despite his many public assertions to the contrary
5. To determine whether the IRS is adequately auditing the president
6. To inform the consideration of additional disclosure requirements for candidates and officeholders

On Election Day 2016, the American people did not know that throughout 2015 and 2016, Donald Trump had been pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal that could gain him as much as $300 million in profits. The public did not know about the deal, because Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about it.2 The extent of Trump’s dealings with Russia, or with other foreign governments or interests, remains unclear—and Trump’s finances in general are still murky.

Under these circumstances, it is not only appropriate but also vital to the functioning of our democracy for Congress to seek an answer to the basic question: Is President Trump working for the interests of the country, or himself? As this report explains, Congress cannot adequately answer that question without first obtaining and reviewing his tax returns.

No no. This is a worthless liberal hack congress who cant get over trump winning. Thats all.

 

[Dana7360]

Liberals simply do not believe in a person's right to privacy!

This from a person in the party who spent over 8 years demanding two versions of Obama's birth certificate. When he provided them, your party screamed they were forged.

This from the person in the party that spent over 8 years demanding Obama's school records.

Never mind that no other president has been forced to release his birth certificate. No other president has faced demands to see his college records.

While every presidential candidate since the 70s has released their taxes.

Except trump even though he said he would.

I would say the party that doesn't believe in privacy rights is the republicans. Not democrats.

Obama was winning too. The rich did great under Obama. The corporations did great too. Only the middle class struggled and they still are. Who's struggling the most? Blue collar whites. They will vote for Trump again so they deserve it.

Many Adults Would Struggle to Find $400, the Fed Finds

4 in 10 American adults wouldn’t be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense with cash, savings or a credit-card charge that could be quickly paid off, a new Federal Reserve survey finds.

About 27 percent of people surveyed would need to borrow or sell something to pay for such a bill, and 12 percent would not be able to cover it at all

Underlying disparities persist. Just 52 percent of rural residents said their local economy was doing well, compared with 66 percent of city dwellers.

But adults belonging to minority groups were more likely to say that they were better off than their parents. About 64 percent of black adults with at least a bachelor’s degree reported doing better financially than their parents had, a figure that fell to 58 percent for white adults. The gap was even wider among the less educated: About 61 percent of black high school graduates said they were better off than their parents, compared with 52 percent of whites with a similar education. Hispanic adults also reported progress at higher rates than their white counterparts.

I care more about my taxes than his taxes.
I care FAR more about congressional members taxes than the Presidents taxes.
I care FAR more as to why they are immune from both prosecution and investigation of their personal investing, and immune from insider trading laws...than Trumps taxes.

It's not just us

Former Rep. Tom Coleman (R-Mo.) has penned a blistering op-ed calling for the impeachment of “illegitimate” President Donald Trump.

argued that if Trump was impeached, then Vice President Mike Pence should resign as otherwise “the lingering stench of corruption” would trail his administration.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Coleman wrote, showed Trump and members of his team had “on multiple occasions welcomed Russian interference on his behalf during the 2016 presidential campaign.” Therefore, Coleman reasoned, “the president’s election victory brought forth nothing less than an illegitimate president.”

t could hand Trump a second term. Failure to pursue impeachment is to condone wrongdoing. To condone wrongdoing is to encourage more of it. To encourage wrongdoing is to give up on the rule of law and our democracy. To give up on the rule of law and democracy invites autocracy and eventually dictatorship. History has taught us this outcome. In my lifetime, it has occurred in other places including the Soviet Union and Germany, as well as in Russia and Venezuela today.


Coleman in February joined 25 other previous GOP members of Congress in calling for the termination of Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to fund his promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In October 2016, he signed an open letter with 29 other GOP ex-lawmakers calling Trump an unacceptable candidate for the presidency.

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich) last weekend became the first current Republican member of Congress to call for Trump’s impeachment.
