Exactly, I couldn’t agree more!
That's the secret. Members of Congress, being not just professional politicians but also the people who make tax laws, all have tax returns that look very boring. The obscure loopholes or complicated forms are most likely avoided or minimized so as to not draw attention to the congresscritter if they are asked about them. Trump didn't spend his career preparing to run for office, so his taxes look a lot more complicated and by inference, somehow criminal.
If Trump really wanted to hit them where it hurts, he'd make a call for the DOJ to investigate how so many members of Congress end up making so many "lucky" investments that so consistently turn them into multimillionaires after only a few years of making a salary in the somewhat low six figures.
The communists judges and Democrats will win. Trump might as well just hand them over. The GOP is a real weak pile of crap and the communists are still very much strong. They have been at it for many years and still powerful. Trump is our only hope but he needed strong support and only got weak party support in Government.
Good point. This has been my contention all along. I’m sure the IRS has gone through the returns with a fine tooth comb considering who the taxpayer is. I seriously doubt there is any there there.
The rats are just looking for publicity and fake news headlines.
Agreed. I’ve dug through corporate tax returns. Very boring.
I’m sure Trump is 100% above-board but not releasing his tax returns like every other president in recent history could be interpreted by more skeptical minds as suspicious. Why doesn’t president Trump just release the tax returns and show the lame-stream media consumers once and for all that he has nothing to hide? Wouldn’t that just troll the libs to lose one of their favorite talking points?
I also agree with the other posters on here who suggested making all members of Congress release their tax returns too. I’d love to see Princess DiFi’s.
There is no law requiring a candidate or a sitting President to turn over their tax returns.
It started with Nixon and that ailed miserably.. “I am not a crook!”
Remember if they can force a President to publicise their private papers they can do it to you. Everyone of them demanding this should lead by example with cheating and lying being punishable by rescinding of citizenship and exile.
What next for the diapercRats?
You got it right, the Rats can’t decide what they’re going to go after POTUS on because nothing has worked as yet.
I sometimes think about what mincemeat they would have turned our other candidates into if they had won.
It’s one thing to have a grasp, but it’s another to be engaged and avoid the gaff that will give them an opening.
He’s really quite amazing.
Time to release the names of all the members that paid off sexual harassment claims with our tax money. That is my money and I have a right to know where and to whom it went.
And by the way, let’s see all the Demonrat congresscritter’s tax returns too.
“House Democrats are looking to speed up their lawsuit against the Treasury Department and IRS over their refusal to turn over President Trump’s tax returns. “
don’t tell me; the Dems are threatening to bring the courts to heel if they don’t speed up the Dems lawsuits ...
