Morning Joe' Says Trump's Tax Returns Prove 'Hillary Clinton Was Right All Along': 'He Was Desperate to Hide the Truth'

[newfie]

Trump didn't write the tax laws. Why shouldn't he use them to his advantage?

i know i aint voluteering any donations to the fed.

agreed. The guy has top accountants and a ton of charitables not shown here. Lets see the whole return rather than the drip drip drip and see the legal write offs he used to get the final amount down.

Very true, but like I said, earlier, tax law is written in a way that everyone violates it if they want you to. It is so complicated that it is not really very easy to understand.

A lot of people with connections would be out of a job if they simplified the tax code

not only that but you have some IRS agents that create heart ache out of ignorance of those same laws. I had one where i was audited and the auditor kept claiming i didnt have the required documentation. it was only when i escalated the audit to an IRS attorney that it finally got cleaned up without any extra charges or penalties.

Yep and that is why it’s complicated. It keeps their buddies in business.

They are a criminal organization in my opinion, the most confiscatory agency in the world, and they don’t even have to prove anything. They can ruin your life and then come back and say whoops sorry with no penalty to them..

their power is scary. I believe a lot of tax payers are intimidated and pay just to get out of the wringer.

They could be mining rare earths for the solar cells

a win win

Granny was right

It starts with the idea that paying taxes is some sort of patriotic duty. I’m more along the lines of the Boston tea party being patriotic.

You have to keep in mind that leftism is a religion. Their version of charity/tithing is government confiscation and redistribution.

Yeah, thus beginning the long road to Trump supporters pretending like they never cared and never supported him. Just like with George W. Bush. Bunch of frauds.

Uh huh, you know nothing about me? So that’s a funny statement. If you did, you would be amazed and freaked out and confused. But that’s OK that’s the problem we have. There’s only a left and right and a D and R to most of the people on here. Nothing will ever change as long as we’re fighting over who’s the Democrat and who is Republican I’m just a blue-collar, hard-working American. I don’t get the brakes the political class gets, and I will not stick up for any of them, they are not my masters.

 

[bbsam]

the short answer is that the IRS audited his returns and found he did nothing wrong.
Each return shows he paid what was required under current law.
the left will never ever present it that way.

Then why didn’t he just say that? Why the goofy narrative about being under audit?

 

[bbsam]

Seems kind of anti climactic given the absolute obsession the left has had with these tax returns.

I was told there would be massive evidence of Russian Collusion or some stupid crap like that.

It's just more "Hurr Durr he didn't pay a lot in taxes".

Yawn.

I’m guessing that somehow Biden’s S-corp return will be somehow more earth shattering?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Because this is how trump operates everything is a spectacle. He likes the attention, and you know what it seems to work for him, and most everyone fell for it, because even the people who were mad at him gave it attention.

Then we can agree the the rich and corporations aren’t really taxed higher than anywhere else in the world? That they actually have it really, really good in the US?

He’s going to lose the nomination. What makes you think it works for him? Eventually, I think even Trumpers will get tired of being lied to.

Maybe but it worked one time? Are we even sure he really wants the nomination?
