    Your point is that.... Trump shouldn't release his taxes because.... average every day Americans couldn't get educated enough about taxes to read his tax returns & make up their own mind?

    Wow... that's a truly stupid reason to argue for NON transparency in our government. The American people are too stupid. Good one.

    we are at the part where "it is for your own good" and "im too smart" and then when push comes to shove its all "fake news" argument again.

    I didn't say "shouldn't". Im saying it doesn't matter because people don't know what they're looking at

    What percentage of Americans do you think are qualified to understand whats going on in the returns? Do you think the ones who aren't qualified are gonna learn overnight by looking at returns that involve billions of dollars?

    [Educational Post] for Traitor_George, who needs to heed the sage advise from the father of the GOP,

    better to remain silent and thought as a fool
    to speak and to remove all doubts

    actually, I was educated in Accounting / Finance and Economics,
    have worked in the Accounting / Finance field---interpreting/analyzing financial statements---for over a decade


    the dizzying height of ignorance, false-equivacating Apple's balance sheet info w the tax transcript info of the trust fund baby

    for the education of traitor_george
    • a balance sheet shows the assets, liabilities and equity
      • it is a snapshot of the financial conditions, at a point in time, of individuals / going concerns
    • tax transcripts don't
      • they report the results of operations, for a defined period of time, within the framework of the IRS tax laws
    .

    Well under that logic why should nonprofits have to still publicly publish their 990's?? Americans wont understand it... so why bother?

    Also I think even average Americans understand things like a revenue schedule in a tax return that shows where someone or an entity gets their income from.

    yip, the trust fund baby should not complain / lie so much.

    the trust fund baby can easily clear this up by releasing his tax returns from 25 - 35 yr ago to counter the NYT reporting;

    after all,
    we all know that these returns are not under audit;
    as per the IRS site, the IRS does not audit tax returns more than 7 years old.


    an emperor-wears-no-cloth moment for the trust fund baby

    None of you are voting for him if he releases his returns. Why should he

    He gets mileage out of the continued b**** fest on it

    Right? I forgot where these folks used the same "we shouldn't know these FACTS!" logic on illegally hacked electronic files and stained dresses, etc. It's really incredible.

    Like: I have no problem w' dude losing so damned much of other people's money and proclaiming the opposite. I only have a problem with it coming to light.

    Just, wow. It's the weakest sauce.

    Why are you posting what ifs? as an excuse for Trump when it's certain you have no idea yet claim it's nothing to cover?

    Why are you ignoring the fact that this went on for years while using an excuse of a one time change?

    Because nothing is illegal or even out of the ordinary considering he is a real estate developer and his returns already passed the irs smell test

    What is the problem you see?

    NEW YORK VOTES TO RELEASE TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS, BLOW UP HIS WEB OF LIES
    A treasure trove of information could be released, including corporation taxes, personal income taxes, and real-estate transfer taxes.
    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/201...rand=vf&mbid=social_twitter&utm_medium=social

    STATE TAXES, gotta match the Federal

    Also:
    In addition to the tax-return legislation, the State Senate is also expected to pass a second bill that would eliminate the “double-jeopardy loophole,” which gives people who have received a federal pardon indemnity from being tried by New York prosecutors on similar charges, the passage of which would likely be terrifying to Trump’s array of toadies.

    Yeah....... except he isn't a joke.

    He is President of the USA, he is negotiating with potential long term effects in China, Iran and South Korea.

    He has already taken what would have been a liberal SCOTUS and made it conservative, with the health of a 90 year old being the only thing from the President shaping the Court for the next 20-30 years.

    He spearheaded and led the passing of a tax cut with enormous long term effects.

    He is (as I type) building a Wall along the US border and also negotiating tariffs and potential war with Iran.

    He is many things......... but he isn't a joke. He is very real, and extremely powerful. He has a popularity up in the mid 40's all while alienating women, minorities and other groups..... he is leader of a growing economy and very well could be re-elected.

    It's about time that Democrats stop seeing him as a "joke" and realize what is he is, and what is going on.

    ... are there people who can translate what we are looking at????

    Trump has no military experience except draft dodging, yet he’s commander in chief.... How does Trump know what he’s looking? Lololol...
