Why are Trump's tax returns so important again?

[Meister]

he's kept his promises.

Right,just not any of the freakish ones I listed.

You cultists really can't even control yourselves anymore. You. Will. Say. Anything. Just following the example of Dear Leader....

At least Trump doesn't lead from behind.

No, he thinks and talks with it.

MAGA....nuff said

Word in and around Chicago is that Barry did a lot with his ass there.

Well, because my seeing his taxes won't do a damn thing to improve my life, nor would it have any affect on how he runs the country.

Ok, but that didn't answer my question. My question was "Why wouldn't you want to be able to see as much of your leader's finances as possible?"

Don't ask yourself if you want to see candidate Trump's tax returns Ask yourself: when AOC (or whatever politician you hate the most) runs for president, do you want to see her tax returns?

If the answer to both is no, then, OK, I guess we just value transparently differently. If the answer is yes, you are more interested in your side winning then establishing good rules for governance.

No one has been elected based on seeing their taxes, no one has ever lost an election based on taxes. Have you ever voted or not voted for someone because of what you saw on their taxes?

Why are Trump's tax returns so important again?

Nixon.

So, political payback?
.

Political payback? No, after Nixon's tax returns were made public - he owed the IRS $500,000.00.

And???? Did he pay it or did he “Rangle” his way out of it?

 

[Papageorgio]

It seems odd that the OP would ask the questioninthe thread title, and then ignore all the rational answers and only respond to the braying cultists.

I have not seen one goo

You are clearly hiding something as well, we need to see your taxes.

That doesnt make any sense. I didn't make a calculation that not releasing them would do less political damage to me than would releasing them. That idiotic talking point isn't getting any smarter with repetition .

Good, let’s see your taxes then?

 

[Markle]

1) Examine his foreign interests so that we can be sure he promotes policies that improve the general welfare and not just his own wallet.

2) Because he said he'd release them.

The Trump Empire has lost hundreds of millions of dollars since he announced his run for office. How is that improving his own wallet?

If the wallet is your criteria. Why don't you demand to see the tax returns of your own congressman? They arrive in Washington DC, an extremely expensive place to live, and presto, they become multi-millionaires on supposedly $175,000 a year.

How does that happen?

No smoke, though?

Yes, smoke...lots of smoke.

So simply filing his tax returns with the IRS didnt reveal all the problems with Nixon's tax returns? Welp, there goes Trump cult talking point #3,598,034 out the window....

Because.....it's just important. The smoking fart is hidden in the itemized section......somewhere. We'll know when we don't see it and then we'll move on to a thorough rectal exam of McDonald receipts .

Important enough that his political allies are doing everything they can to keep them hidden...

Important enough that all of his cultists are throwing massive hissy fits over it...

It's not important to see someone's tax returns. I have no desire to see any one of the 20 Dems running. That's none of your or my business.

Gotcha. So also not important enough to bend over backwards to shield dear leader.

Right?

No, what someone does for their livelihood is none of my business. If you want to sell pot, I don't care. I don't even care if you declared it with the IRS .

You want to look at taxes for no real reason? That is a privacy issue and the congress has no real reason to look at them. We have a right to privacy. How about you show us your taxes since you have done nothing wrong.

I don't give a tinker's dam about a presidential candidates tax returns. I'm not hiring him because of his financial situation, I'm hiring him to be the CEO of our country.

I would much prefer to see the tax returns of my legislators both before they initially came to office and those after. Many come to Washington with modest upper-income levels. A few years later they are multi-millionaires. How do they do that with an income of $175,000 per year? Living part-time in one of the most expensive cities in our country and living part-time, supposedly in their home district. How is that possible?

And that's going to be in my tax returns? Yeah, I didn't think so. Cute try!
