Question of the Day, Sep 14

I keep hearing the lefties complain about Trump releasing his taxes. What difference at this point does it make? What do they expect to find that could compare to the Clinton Foundation?

Depreciation. They expect to find lots and lots of depreciation noted on his hundreds of K-1’s. Ooooh. He doesn’t pay his “fair share”.

Individual income tax returns — including those of public figures — are private information, protected by law from unauthorized disclosure.

Trump should tell these people to go fuck themselves.

Even if he did release them, how many fucking regulah people would read it? ZERO. The ONLY people looking at it would be the opposition lawyers, accountants, and fuknuts , and for the SOLE PURPOSE of finding more shit to smear.

Therefore, again, Trump should tell these people to go fuck themselves.

The lefties want to find something, anything, in Trump’s return which they can label as an equivalent or greater offense than what HRC and WJC did with the Clinton foundation. This allows them to rationalize that they are voting for the right candidate.

The tax return issue is also being used the same way the “racist” label is being used against Trump; as a means to label him a tax cheat in peoples minds.

Why the big deal? Romney didn’t pay taxes for years and he got a lot of votes. Came closer than McCain.

I listen to the Lefties a LOT, Gods Above, it is painful to hear the degree of psychological projection and outright lying they do to protect their vision of the world. Which is a very dark vision as their collective heads reside in a great colllective transverse colon.

That is not a metaphor.

The whole issue with Trump’s taxes results from their angst that someone not of the Annointed Class has money and connections that rival those of their candidate. It is all about “okay for thee but not for me”, which is the numero uno most irritating thing about them for me, and totally puts the lie to their entire narrative of Fairness.

I would rather see Hillary’s medical records from that dural venous thrombosis and concussion, as well as her 6 MONTHS of rehab she did afterwards, during which time we did not see her in public much, did we?

I could care less who wins – yeah, yeah, the world will burn if cankles wins. I’ve heard it here all before. I admit hildabeast is the preferred puppet by the silver spoons but there is something about Trump that my ordinary redneck self can’t endorse. He is a grade A douche bag hypocrite and liar. Hell, I want to vote for the cocksucker I really do, but how much BS can a person allow?

I get it Hillary – the e-mails, the foundation, Bill’s blowjobs, Whitewater, Benghazi, countless strange deaths, etc.. It is not even worth a discussion at this point.

Trump – Please tell me ONE fu&king thing that he has ran on that attracted you as a potential voter (besides being a semi-warm body that is not clinton) that he has not back pedaled on or folded on.

Just fu<king one thing – you can’t. No body can.

“besides being a semi-warm body that is not clinton”

I refused to vote in the last few elections because neither major party (nor most of the minor ones) put up a candidate fit to be President. However, in this election, NOT being Clinton is looking like a pretty convincing reason.

Jeffery Dahmer or Charles Manson would make better Presidents than Hillary. No, I am not joking.

Ok TT, I’ll bite,

1. Getting us out of the middle east and all of our nation building.
2. Protecting the 2nd amendment.
3. Lowering, simplifying taxes.
4. Prosecuting the criminal politicians.

That’s a start. Thanks for playing.

1. Getting us out of the middle east and all of our nation building.

See his speech to the Israeli lobby group AIPAC
http://time.com/4267058/donald-trump-aipac-speech-transcript/

Hard stance against “ISIS” (notice I used parenthesis here because the whole thing is utter BS) and his fervor of wanting boots on the ground.

wanting to take Iraqi oil

2. Protecting the 2nd amendment.

I’ll concede he seems better than most of the 16 republicans he ran against and he is light years better than the corpse.

3. Lowering, simplifying taxes.

Nope

4. Prosecuting the criminal politicians.

I highly doubt it. He’ll go after people he doesn’t personally like and he’ll abuse the office but I highly doubt he’ll go after political or financial criminals. Case in point the recent findings about Wells Fargo creating millions of false accounts and defrauding their very own customers (5300 employees involved) deafening crickets. He should be leading the charge with pitchforks. His bread is buttered and you ain’t invited to dinner.

Obamma can realease them via a leek.

Which he will in October.

This will be the thing that can result in the total IRS agency being abandoned. And that would make America Great again.

Oh yes, we should never require presidential candidates to show us their financial records that way we could never know if they had links to foreign corporations that were in conflict with our national security or that sort of thing, we are better off just saying, hey he/she is good just give them a pass. Really? Go to the bank and ask to borrow money for a business project, they ask for your returns , your first born and they lube up the rubber glove for a trip through your asshole. Stucky, tax returns are private but running for president negates that privacy for the security of the people and the country. Sheesh….

Your bank-loan analogy makes no sense. Sure, I’d have to provide my tax returns …. BUT, I wouldn’t have to make it public to 300+ million people. It would be private between me and them.

Presidential candidates DO NOT have to give up their rights to financial privacy, Constitutional protections, etc.

As I have stated, and others have agreed, they want Trump’s tax returns for only one reason — to bring harm to him. Fuck that shit. With just 60 days to go, it would be a YUGE distraction from more important things … and that’s exactly what the Hillcunt Camp wants.

I could agree with all candidates releasing general medical records. The reason being, that unlike tax returns, a grievously ill candidate can affect ALL of us.

Stucky- Trump has borrowed more money than anyone which means he had to show where his annual income originated and how much he paid in taxes. Every other candidate has been asked to do the same, failure to comply could look bad on his part. Just sayin……..

Why should he be any different? Not trying to be a hard on about Trump, he is not exempt.

He may be telling the truth about waiting for the audit to complete. If he is I can see this as a catch 22. The liberals will accuse him of stalling if he doesn’t release his taxes and they will accuse him of obfucation if he releases them and then has to revise them later because of the audit.

I think he should challenge Clinton and say that he’ll release his taxes when she releases all of the financials for the Clinton Foundation.

I’m more interested in the release of medical information. I think he should release all of his detailed health information right now and challenge Clinton to do the same.

Trump has nothing to gain and can only lose by releasing his tax returns.

Any Real Estate developer worth his salt will pay little to no taxes, that’s just the way the tax laws are structured. So it he’s paying next to nothing in taxes the Clinton News Network will be running “wall to wall” the news of what a “Tax cheat” Donald Trump is and will make a big deal of how Hillary is “paying her fair share”

On the other hand if he is paying a substantial percentage in taxes they will make a big deal on what an idiot he is for not understandings the tax laws.

Tax cheat Timmy Geithner didn’t pay his taxes and he was appointed
Treasury Secretary in 2009…it was claimed he was the smartest man
in the country for financials. TG served as President and CEO of the NY Fed Reserve
Bank 2003 through 2009. He serves on the board of the CFR and is a member
of the Group of Thirty. He is President of Warburg Pincus, a private equity
investment firm..he received a line of credit from JP Morgan bank for $12 billion
to invest in a new product at his firm. Let the good times roll. BTW, JP Morgan
was Bernie Madoff’s bank. They were in on that fraud. TG also served in the Clinton
administration. (under secretary at the Treasury) O has appointed/hired? 35 dual citizens
Israeli/US from the Supremes to the Climate Zaar. TG was one of them.
Now, let’s hear the clamor for the Casino man’s tax returns. No one can do squat in NYC
without the blessings of the big bank/Israel. Get it?

I see no reason at all to demand to see Trump´s income tax statement. Unless he is accused of wrong-doing, why should we snoop? I don´t give a damn how much or how little he made. As long as he is not breaking the law – and with a battalion of tax lawyers you can be sure he isn´t – then what is the fuss about. So a bunch of peckerwoods who don´t own enough property to fall dead on it can bitch and moan about the rich? Let´s move on.

Maybe Trump should offer his tax records in exchange for Hillary’s (real) medical records.

IMO, a medical evaluation of a candidate is more important to his or her qualification to be President than a tax record since ill health, brain damage, dementia, disabling disease or a very short probable lifespan is more likely to affect performance in office than how much income and taxes has been paid or not paid in the past.
