Wow, if you think Illary just has the "sniffles" you sure as hell are drinking the liberal kool-aid and aren't paying attention! Trumps tax returns will be very complex and show that he tries to keep his taxes as low as possible...just like all of us. Sure, I'd like to see them, but compared to Illary's health, it's not even on the radar.

Trump truly has NO excuse for not releasing them except that the world will see that he has a plethora of shady business dealings and has cheated the IRS.


Simply DEPLORABLE!!
Kelly Ann about had a cow on CNN when they asked if Trump had proof that he was under audit. They asked for a copy of the formal audit letter (which I guess the IRS is required to send).


HAHA. The look on her face was priceless! Followed by "I'm sorry?" and then "Are you calling him a liar"?


Yes, Kelly Ann, we are until we see that letter.

I'd call this a deflection myself.


What is Trump hiding?


Why else would he FAIL to produce his returns? I'll bet he owes Russia a LOT of money.

Trump doesn't have to produce his tax returns. Hillary doesn't have to produce her medical records or her speech transcripts. Obama didn't have to produce his college transcripts. George Bush didn't have to make public his driving records.

The constitution says you have to meet these 3 things to be president:

35 years old
natural born citizen
14 years of residency

The only documents you should have to produce are the ones that prove those 3 qualifications.

Unless they amend the constitution and say you have to be of good health and define what that is, say you have had to pay x percent of your income in federal taxes and make X amount of charitable contributions, say what you must not flunk in college or what courses you are required to take, say what can't be in your driving record to become president then it is nobody's business and you shouldn't have to produce any documents.

Let's say HC produces her medical records that show she has XYZ disease. Where does it say you can't be president if you have XYZ disease? FDR had polio. He served the longest. Her media fanboys will say she can be president with XYZ disease and the Deplorables will say you can't be president with XYZ disease. Where does it say how much you have to pay in taxes or give to charity to be president? So what's the point of producing them other than to satisfy people's curiosity.

That's why we have VPs.

You have eyes and ears. If you are okay with what you are seeing and hearing, vote for her. And again, if you think a candidate's medical history is so important, amend the Constitution to define "good health" and make it a qualification that the candidate has to show specific documentation to prove it when they apply to run not a year after all of that time is wasted and money is spent.

Trump's got a new reason not to release his tax returns -- they might raise too many questions! What, we can't have that! Donald Trump Jr. defended his father's decision not to release his tax returns, saying scrutiny of the documents would cause too much turmoil. "He's got a 12,000-page tax return" says Junior.

First it was the audit, which was a lie. IRS says there's no reason he can't release his returns even if there was audit. Now the reason is... too many pages, we might not understand it all. How arrogant can you get? We "little people" can't have his 1040, we are beneath him.

The real reason is there are 12,000 pages of business deals that make him look bad, he's deep in debt to foreign players, embarrassing contributions and payments, and evidence of possible corruption that he wants to keep secret.

There are reasons voters should care:

1. Identitying conflicts of interest.

2. Truthfulness.

3. Setting a good example.

4. Identify if in someone's pockets.

The Clintons tax returns showed that they were paid millions from people that made large sums of money, and received multi-billion dollar contracts from decisions Hillary made while SoS.

If being paid millions by people that received favorable action from Hillary while SoS isn't pay for pay, or even a conflict of interest, then by your standards, there couldn't possibly be anything in Trumps returns that could be a conflict of interest.

She produced her returns and he didn't. See the difference? Why?
