Why Won't Trump Release His Tax Returns?

[Jackson]

Why is asking Trump if he is bought by special interests a bad question for a politician?? How do you answer the question are you bought by special interests other then no and here is the proof? I hate the media more then anyone but the fact that the oil industry and bank industry wasn't financing Ron Paul was one of the biggest reasons why I support him.

Because it's more vague gibberish. "Special interests" is no better than "Washington is broken" and other stupid cliches.

Libs want to see Trump's numbers. Something concrete. They want to play class politics and cry about how much money Trump makes. They want to cry about what people make so they can pass a law to take it.

No it's obvious who he has taken money from. Defense companies, Goldman Saches, Exxon, Israel, Saudi Arabia. Prove that they didn't give Trump money for their positions on his cabinet and government handouts.

If it's so obvious, then why audit him?

That's not how it works. Burden of proof is on you.

My guess is he doesn't actually have a tax return to release. He knows that tax returns are for the slaves. The Trump corporation files taxes but Donald John Trump, the living man, does not. Can't reveal that tidbit to the masses though, lest people start asking uncomfortable questions about the nature of taxation.

No the burden is on you to argue that somehow they are getting a free lunch, or they just happen to be the best at the job. Trump could pick anyone as Secretary of State and he picks Rex Tillerson? Trump has called for taking the oil in the middle east the neocon boondoggle. What do I have to prove, you have to prove how trExxon is getting a free lunch, since that is your argument, my argument is there is no free lunch.

That's pretty much my POV.

It it is in the Constitution: "excluding Indians not taxed"


what would you have to share?

I just realized something.. Im surprised somebody from the country of India hasnt tried to claim some tax exemption because of this passage from the Constitution.

I never discussed those things.

Because he's cheating on his taxes.

So one of these options has to be true, they can't all be false. Based on your previous statement pick one of these options:
1.) Trump is selling government access to the usual cronies that lobby government.
2.) Trump drained the swamp
3.) Rex Tillerson just happens to be the best man for the job

He is not releasing his for the same reason I'm not releasing mine and you are not releasing yours. It's nobody's f****** business.

It's fair game when a person decides to run for and serve a public office. Most of the people he brought on had to show theirs and much more.

Trump has released his "not-a-tax-return":

http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/16/news/trump-financial-disclosure-form/index.html

It is different from a federal tax return, which Trump has refused to make public and which would reveal much more about his business and financial dealings, including foreign business ties, both direct and indirect.

Actual form 278e (Ethics office form, not IRS) at link.

The only thing an officer holder owes the citizenry is to do the job he was elected to do. An office holder is not your property and you have no claim on his private life. You already know how much an elected office pays, so what is the purpose of playing big brother other than thinking this is Faceberg where the entire world gives a care about what I ate for lunch,

What's wrong with that?

You like paying taxes?

Ewww..

I never discussed any of those things either.
