It's high time that Trump releases his taxes

[MrSquished]

It should be an obligation at this point. When you have hundreds of businesses with interests in many countries where foreign policy by the Federal Government can make an effect, it should be part of the disclosure of the presidency. Trump is a specialized case but I would support that any president of the USA, now and going forward, has to release their tax returns every year while in office. Just to keep it even steven.

Why don't we just get to the point?

Dems/libs don't like businesses (evil corporate greed and what not) and want gov run by 'professional politicians'.

Just get to the point and make it illegal for any business person to run for office and require that candidates be prof politicians.

This is a pretty weird and crazed rant. How about it is totally normal and rational to want to know the financial interests of someone in charge of the county? There is a reason why presidents ALWAYS have disclosed their tax filings for decades and decades.

That's one of the most ridiculous leap's of assumption I have ever seen on this forum. Wanting the office of the presidency not to have major conflicts of interest at numerous turns and swerves has nothing to do with supporting businesses or not. That is asinine. The two are ideologically separate.

By all means, be a businessman and run for office. I have no qualms with that - Dem or Repub or Independent.

There is a thing called a blind trust. If you want to sit in the highest position in the country then be prepared to use it. If you aren't, then don't run. There are plenty who will. That sounds fair enough.

He should show his birth certificate to the people of the States, he may be Kenyan for all we know

Nice to hear you speak for everyone. Too bad you're wrong. Keep up the deflection though.

I swear at one point, many years ago, Fern used to be sane. He went from being an interesting and thoughtful poster that I tended to disagree with to a birther and a guy who makes rants like this.

Sad!

Triggered.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Because Trump promised he would, and said in the past that other candidates should?

That's crazy talk!

 

[boomerang]

Don't hold your breath waiting. Or, on second thought...

It's somewhat cute that the proggie/left still think they can dictate what people should do though.

 

[jman19]

Yeah, this is shaping up to be another lie from Trump. He's on a roll!

 

[Paratus]

It certainly is "high" time if you think those taxes are ever getting released.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Damn orange Muslim!

 

[HomerJS]

So we agree the "audit" story when it comes to his taxes is just another bald face lie.

It's somewhat cute you think Trump gives a crap about you, and you think he does not want to dictate what people do.

He's not exactly a Liberterian, is he

He wants no one looking at his tax returns, in public, of course.

 

[jman19]

No no, the audit will go on for another 4 - 8 years and his lawyers told him not to release them while the audit is ongoing.

But in the event the audit is over sooner, he'll release those returns just like he promised to. Right?

Did a little digging last night. IRS regs say statue of limitations on tax cases is 3 years. It also states the IRS has 3 years from the time a return is filed to adjudicate any audit. If they are not finished the case is dropped.

That means Trumps returns from the years 2013 and earlier are available.

Two questions I have...

Does this apply to corporate returns?
Is there any circumstance an audit could exceed 3 years?

Maybe someone in this forum who is a tax expert can answer.

Kinda late to want him to release his taxes now anyway?

What's the point anyone who's ever been in office or a politician in general is crooked.

Well that escalated quickly.

It's never too late to know more about the man who will be running the country.

Your cynicism is noted along with its related apathy.

GOP/Trumpers don't like functional government (gets in the way of capitalist greed and what not) and want gov run by self-interested tyrants.

Just get to the point and make it illegal to voice any dissent and require that candidates be corporate sponsored.

 

[Commodus]

How dare people ask their politicians to rule out conflicts of interest, particularly for politicians that have an abundance of potential conflicts? Just sit down, shut up and become a mindless drone that accepts corruption without question.

 

[cytg111]

How come Trumps pisscascades is easier to 'leak' than his damned taxes? I am sure wikileaks must have them by now. Crooked wikileaks. Very unfair!

 

[FelixDeCat]

He can release his tax returns as soon as Hillary undeletes her emails.
