    Where did the NYT say there was any Russian mention or involvement at all? Surely they would be reporting it. He list his debts in his financial disclosure forms every year and I don't think any Russians are there. Now OTOH we have to wonder why Russians are sending money to the Biden family as long as we are going to be concerned about Russian money.

    Since Nixon all presidents have released and then explained their tax returns. That fact that hysterical patho-don-pussie grabber can't do this shows what a conniving cringing coward he truly is.

    Did you ever make a living being on national TV or in the movies? Why would you have a legal reason to do so. I think the better question would be why were the Clintons trying to write-off Bills underwear.

    HOW TO GET THE “I PAID MORE TAXES THAN DONALD TRUMP” STICKER: JOE BIDEN’S MERCH GOES VIRAL!

    Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is selling stickers with the writing “I paid more taxes than Donald Trump” on it as part of his new campaign merchandise.

    The new stickers come after President Trump was involved in an article by the New York Times that claims the US President has been avoided paying income taxes for 10 years of the 15 years before he was elected president.

    Many internet users are trying to discover how to get their hands on Joe Biden’s new campaign stickers and this is how.

    No makeup artist would make you orange. Nor would a real stylist spit on your hair to plaster it down.

    Wrong it is a 100% investigation and there is no President who wants to be part of that sordid process. Once again get over it. Impeachment along with all the other investigations against Trump will be part of his sordid history. By the way this tax evasion story about Trump is only at the beginning with much more to be looked into. Plus there are other investigations against Trump still being pursued. At the end of his presidency he could wind up in jail

    Also you cherry picked my last post due to complete lack of intestinal fortitude and complete lack of heart. . So lets look at my last post.

    You: What a victim mentality, how does you knowing someone else's tax returns or not make you screwed? I never run into anyone clamoring to see his returns, other than here.
    Me: Complete B.S. I've never said that Not once. Show me my quote where I said that! There isn't any. How does deceptively fabricating an argument I never made prove anything. Trump does this all the time. He puts words in the mouths of his competitors that are completed false thereby showing nothing but contempt for the American people a policy that you agree. with Show me the quote where I said "knowing someone else's tax returns or not makes you screwed?' Where is the quote? It's not there we both know it


    You: Changing your mind isn't lying. What legislative purpose is served by for instance, the House demands for these returns? You know the same ones who did shampeachment and the Russia hoax?

    Me .Trump never changed his mind. He claimed he would release his tax returns then clamed he couldn't release because he was being audited which is a total F- over for the American people. The IRS said he could release his tax returns despite his audit. He pushed this B.S. argument for weeks. Then when shown he was a liar about this point the two bit coward decided to change his mind. Why do you think that supporting a president who lies, distorts the facts and shows contempt for the American people should be supported.

    There doesn’t have to be a crime for this story to raise serious concerns.

    Take tremendous risk & fail... the engine of capitalism does not exist without it... Trump has likely created (through his 'hit' / 'miss' grandiose "real estate escapades" - 10's of THOUSANDS of jobs in his ventures... (just a haphazard guess...) :)

    The thing that these liberal detractors fail to realize is that without that capitalistic "impedes", ~ as manifest by our tax structure ~ we would all be gradually reduced to a common subsistence dependence on the gov...

    (yehh - so to take it the the other paradigmatic extreme - for purpose of contrast... w Trump)

    As I am self employed, I take all the law allows. I can't deduct personal expense, like movies, food, clothes, hair cuts, but Trump is doing this in the hundreds of thousands. He deducted $70,000 in 'hair cuts' well two people, Scaramucci and Cohen said 'anyone who knows him knows that he cuts his own hair, he's self conscious about his bald spot, and doesn't want anyone touching his hair". even if Trump did get hair cuts, you don't get to deduct hair cuts

    Trump wrote off $26 million in unexplained "consulting fees" between 2010 and 2018, with almost $750,000 apparently going to his daughter, Ivanka, as a 'consultant fee' in one disclosure.

    She's an employee, that's an illegal deduction and it looks more like he's hiding income.

    No one is anti-capitalist or anti entrepeneur, we are saying don't cheat, pay your taxes, take legal deductions, nothing more, nothing less.

    Trump has been sued over 100 times for stiffing contractors. he's not a good guy. I'm a liberal business owner, so your characterization that we are goose - stepping comrades - in - arms is really getting old. Stop it.

    Many rich entrepeneurs are liberal. Remember Lee Iococca ( CEO of Chrysler) ? he was a democrat. Y'all really need to cut it out with this socialist crap.

    Jobs ULTIMATELY come from people buying stuff. The consumer is the engine of jobs.

    If Trump didn't complain about Obama not paying his fair share of taxes, he wouldn't be in this mess. He created this mess with his own words. He's got no one to blame but himself. Eventually, if you keep criticizing people for doing something when you are doing it 10x as worse, it's going to come back to bite you.

    So why didn't the IRS catch him? We already know about the anti-conservative animus the IRS has, please explain?

    Why didn’t they catch Nixon? Why hasn’t the DOJ caught any of imaginary deep state coup people?

    Nixon: He was caught. The deep state is being caught as we speak.
