Where are Donald Trump's Tax Returns?
Fakebook ^ | 18 May 2016 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 05/11/2016 4:58:28 PM PDT by Vigilanteman

It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service. Tax returns provide the public with its sole confirmation of the veracity of a candidate's representations regarding charities, priorities, wealth, tax conformance, and conflicts of interest. Further, while not a likely circumstance, the potential for hidden inappropriate associations with foreign entities, criminal organizations, or other unsavory groups is simply too great a risk to ignore for someone who is seeking to become commander-in-chief.

Mr. Trump says he is being audited. So? There is nothing that prevents releasing tax returns that are being audited. Further, he could release returns for the years immediately prior to the years under audit. There is only one logical explanation for Mr. Trump's refusal to release his returns: there is a bombshell in them. Given Mr. Trump's equanimity with other flaws in his history, we can only assume it's a bombshell of unusual size.

(Anticipating inquiries regarding my own tax release history, I released my 2010 tax returns in January of 2012 and I released my 2011 tax returns as soon as they were completed, in September of 2012.)

“I think he should ignore them and let them go crazy.”

I agree. There is no rule requiring him to publish his taxes anyway. Mitt is a ass.

What’s the hurry? Romney didn’t release his until Sept. 21, 2012.

Normally, I wouldn’t give this ungrateful jag-off the time of day, but the comments on his Facebook post are so hilarious, you’ve just got to read them.
I scrolled down through close to 100 posts before I found one even remotely sympathetic.


I guarantee you Romney didn’t read one of those replies. He doesn’t care. I notice Senator SaAsse from Nebraska has nothing to say about Nebraskans voting for Trump overwhelmingly. These guys have their heads so far up their nether regions they couldn’t tell if it was day or night.

It’s really not about whether he cheated or not. The liberals just want more information to try to find something to attack him on. They’ll say “oh he didn’t donate enough to charity” or “he claimed a deduction for his private jet, the bigshot”, etc.

Even if Republicans found out and out tax evasion in a Democrat’s returns, the Democrat voters wouldn’t care and the media wouldn’t cover it. So it’s pointless, I think, to release them, because it can only possibly give more ammunition to the Democrats and their media lackeys, it can never actually help any Republican candidate.

Show me the rule in the RNC handbook, Romney. I look around and see "Trump" on dozens of under-budget, well-constructed, completed projects. His name on tens of thousands of paychecks. That's a good enough track record for me.

Romney is far and away the worst vote I’ve cast in my life. Not even close.

There is ZERO benefit for Trump to release his tax return. It will ONLY be used by his enemies as a means to attack him. Most people who support Trump don’t give a damn about his tax return, so if I were Trump I would release it when Obama produces his colleges transcripts. Oh that’s right his supporters didn’t care about that either.

Where are obozo’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE (THE REAL ONE!), HIS COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS?

Where is the text of Hillary’s quarter million buck “speech” to the cronycaps on Wall Street? And where are all those “missing” Hillary State Department Emails?

I think Trump should hold out until we, the people, get those and OTHER documents!

LOL. Mitt Romney does have gall. He obviously agreed to let Obama and Candy Crowley use a crib sheet during one of his debates with Obama. Romney remained silent even tho it was obviously wrong for Obama and the debate moderator to team up against him. Then we have Paul Ryan doing the same type of thing with Joe Biden. Both Romney and Ryan proved neither of them were inclined to or were capable of standing up to their opponents then. They both now want to torpedo Donald Trump who does stand up to the establishment of the Uniparty, Republican and democrat. He takes the fight to them. Romney is disgusting and also a backstabber to Trump who supported Romney when he did his presidential run. Slime also applies.

Especially when he is in the middle of an audit. This would only open a huge can of worms and a million “tax professionals” scrutinizing them.

Is he calling for Hillary to release hers? Didn’t think so. This POS needs to go away.
