Ain't it interesting, Hill/Bill paid over $3,000,000 last year in federal income taxes - but nary a mention on this board about that.

There's a pretty good chance Donald Trump paid zero - and he may even have carryforward losses for the next multiple years - so he will continue to pay zero.

The world is NEVER seeing a Donald Trump tax return. Not now, not ever.

Ridiculous theory. Where did you learn that you must subdue your right to privacy in order to give the impression you arent hiding anything?

I give this excuse a fail.
And Clinton could go back and amend their returns, thus lowering their tax obligations after the elections, meaning what they released is MEANINGLESS..

While I doubt he's really under a 7 year audit, if he was, its bull crap it would only take place due to fraud. It would be due to carried over losses from previous years so if you question a loss this year, and it originated many years ago, (since losses are limited to $3,000 per year), it would indeed trigger 7 years worth of audits by default.

Learn tax codes before you pretend to know it..

I think most any lawyer would advise their client not to release their return regardless of whether or not it is under audit. Especially, a client that owns private businesses. I have read before the articles like you refer to and most of the reasoning would apply if under audit or not.
Truth being, it doesnt matter one bit if he's under adit or not. he's not required to release them at all.

its a ridiculous talking point to distract the morons from discussing the Clinton crime families actions..

unlikely, but i do believe he could lose support by not releasing them.
thats nonsense. There is no "political net gain" by releasing ones taxes. Do you really think people are going to vote for Clinton because she released her tax returns, but werent going to previously?

Do you really, really think people are THAT stupid?

The reason no one mentioned it is because NO ONE CARES.. As long as the Clintons paid what they are responsible to pay, legally by law.. then the total paid is meaningless..

And if Trump paid what he's required to by law, then releasing his tax returns does NOTHING.. There has been no accusations by the IRS that he's not paid them.. its a non issue.

It is an issue to the rest of the USA population, because, I for one, believe NOTHING from the Orange One's mouth.


ETA: If it is a non issue to you, why did you post six times in a row?
Seems to be a very large issue to you.
