Of course they are private. But when candidates run for the highest office in the land they almost invariably disclose their tax returns. This just goes to show the extent to which Trumpkins twist themselves into a pretzel to defend their “Dear Leader.”
I find the practice offensive.
Sad that you have no clue about what the world is about. Also sad that you don't know the difference between "almost" and "invariable". The two words have entirely different meanings. But, I would expect that from a poor Teddy Bare.
Candidates are required to reveal their investments and net worth. Trump had done so. There is no reason to allow others to look at his income taxes, since it is probably not going to demonstrate the desired effects, but allow others (like Teddy Bares) to snipe because of deductions or sources. If he is as smart as we can see, he would lower his personal income so as not to pay excessive taxes on that income. I sure did that, as a General Contractor. That is only one of the benefits of being a Corporate guy.
Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? You poor Teddy Bares are getting more desperate every day! Lying Teddy is a loser and now an accused philanderer...
Trump DID make a financial disclosure. He did it when he entered the race, and he didn’t ask for an extension, either. If the disclosure he filed doesn’t match his tax returns (which are being audited and have been for the last several years), then I’m sure the IRS will have something to say about it, don’t you think?
So, with that in mind, your point is???
