Aide: Trump 'will not be releasing' taxes

No, I don't know it. I would never RELEASE my income tax to a blood-thirsty press intent on destroying me. If our people want candidates' income tax forms released, pass a freaking law. How many years? Business tax returns, too? Charity tax returns, too? We haven't gone so far left YET that we can be forced to self–incriminate or give some the club with which to knock us over the head. He is not obligated. He chooses not to. Get over it.

this is one of the few things I agree with Trump on.

the populist drivel that requires tax returns be released so we can storm the rich guy with flaming pitchforks is nonsense.

it is just whiny leftist jealousy pretending to be concerned with civics.

how do you know this is absurd? we don't demand college transcripts to be released.

Exactly.

What are you talking about?? Trump has said time and again that he will release his taxes once the IRS is finished auditing him. I find this very reasonable. You don't? Please to tell us why.

Why is that reasonable? The IRS has already said that's nonsense.

You are pathetic.
 
What does it really matter if a politician releases their tax forms or not?

I am not voting for a person based on what their income is.

There are far greater issues the candidates needs to address and inform the American people what their stance is.

Crime, Debt, Health Care, Social Security, Foreign aid, Military, immigration. , etc.
 
so we are to believe the IRS,the people that targeted conservative pacs,i am still laughing,you socialist must live on planet obama too.


run don run

Call me whatever you please, but if I was running for office I would not release my tax returns either.
 
Trump is rich, Sanders is rich, Clinton is rich, Obama is rich. The Hollywood elite that support Clinton are rich. The one percent and Wall street who support both Democrats and Republicans are rich. Does any of this make a difference? Why do they need to release tax returns? We already know they are all rich.

This tax return thing by the left is nothing but a vast left wing conspiracy witch hunt. So what if his tax returns showed that he is a one percenter who pays as little taxes as possible, might have some money stashed offshore, and might not donate much to charity? Would any of that be an Earth shattering secret? What else could possibly be in there?

Doing business with Putin

Have you not been paying attention?

I doubt his reluctance to release his tax returns has anything to do with Russia. More likely it is because it will show he is worth far less than he says he is. And his ego couldn't abide that.

I'd bet the reluctance would be more to showing what his effective tax rate is that he's paying.

That's my thought as well. Don't blame Trump for not releasing them, he'll get blasted for a lot longer from releasing them then not doing so imo. Even though the vast majority of critics would do (or are doing) the same thing.

But of course that's just a guess. Since he won't release his tax returns.

from February of this year
The IRS, however, said in a statement Friday that, although federal privacy rules prohibit the agency from discussing individual tax matters, "nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information."

Then there is this interesting little bit of information: Donald Trump Still Getting Tax Break Meant For Homeowners Making Under $500,000 A Year

Such fun for the conspiracy minded; is Trump hiding his tax returns because they would show he is getting cash from Russian oligarchs or has benefited from Mafia connections or because he really isn't as wealthy as he claims to be?

On the matter of his personal wealth there is the ever so small matter of the lawsuit he filed several years ago against a reporter who wrote that Trump was worth no more than $200 million. For some reason, the lawsuit was dismissed and the reporter is still talking about his personal experiences with the Trumpster.
 
Didn't tRump criticize Romney for failing to timely release his tax returns

Maybe he really qualifies for the NY tax credit?
