they don't have to release their taxes because Trump didn't we're going to be fine with that right? That's what I thought.
Interesting answer but as one of the few people who would understand them you still don't want to see them? But more importantly, just because average Joe doesn't understand something should that mean our elected representatives don't have to disclose it?
Not really. I know already what it would look like. I have prepared many returns in my life so I have a good idea of what I would see. He is gonna have major losses from real estate (very common). People will shit their pants. But with most real estate transactions the tax bill doesnt come due until they sell these massive properties. Thats at least one guess for what you would see. The problem for me is the media are morons. So they will talk about this and that on a return when they have no idea what it even means. I have seen the oregonian try to talk about tax stuff and completely misstate things. Cpas comment and say they are morons,but the damage is already done and people think the oregonian is truth. I dont really care to see politician tax returns. What matters to me is if they can do the job and make sure america is healthy financially, safe, secure and free. Along with other social issues (like everyone should be able to marry, or i dont give a fuck where transgender people piss).
With all due respect, that's a really stupid reason. "I don't understand nuclear science so there's no point in Iran opening its nuclear facilities to inspection" "I don't understand food science, so there's no reason to make public what's in food ingredients..." "Make public" means that PEOPLE WHO DO understand the taxes can see them TOO. And explain to you in words of one syllable what matters and what doesn't.
Trump doesn't even do his taxes lol. he just hires a bunch of accountants to try to minimize his costs.
You decry the media and don't understand that the 1st ammendment allows for free press. And Trump's administration unfortunately feels the same way. It's just funny to me that right wingers get butthurt about the second ammendment, but blindly turn their cheek when their hero challenges the first amendment.
Why do you care what is on his taxes? Why don't we start there. What pleasure would you get from seeing his returns?
It doesn't even matter. It's just a tool to use to drive their anti trump narrative. If he or anyone honestly cares they would put more investigation into where clintons money came from for example.
That's fine. That is a fine argument. But why do we even care? That is my point. I don't care to see any presidents tax returns. I seriously will not care to see any tax return of any president going forward. But if you wanna see it, more power to you.
I would very much like to know how in bed he is with Russia financially. I just assume he hasn't paid taxes in years based on the earlier leaked tax return.
I just appreciate full disclosure. Especially from someone who blasts a lot of people. Trump should put up or shut up if he wants to keep on being who he is.
