    Biden's return shows that he and his wife Jill made an adjusted gross income of $985,233 and paid $299,346 in taxes, for an effective tax rate of roughly 30 percent.

    Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, a lawyer, reported a joint income of $3,095,590 in 2019 and owed taxes of $1,185,628, giving them an effective tax rate of about 38 percent.

    This is what the people expect from politicians: transparency.

    Excellent strategy by Biden/Harris to make their tax returns public just before the debate.

    The floor is yours.

    Yawn. At this point not only has this dead horse been beaten enough, it's rotting.

    Anyone who has ever started or owned a business knows taxes aren't as simple as the average person thinks they are. But of course the Democrats are trying to target the low hanging fruit and their base (which is kind of the same thing), and they eat up this kind of thing (whether or not they understand it.)

    That type of strategy worked like a charm for Trump & the GOP. It got a former Dem (you) to eat that low hanging fruit up and actually vote for that Charlatan in 2016.

    There’s still more parts of The NY Times expose. That was just the first shoe, 4 more I think.

    I don't care about Joe Biden's taxes. I care about Hunter Biden's taxes. Release Hunter Biden's taxes.

    Hunter Biden isn't running for president. I would like to see the tax returns of the candidate who promised he would release them though...

    As a supporter of the President, that is one promise I don't want him to keep. Tax returns are covered under the Privacy Act. Everyone, even presidential candidates have a right to privacy. There's no law requiring a candidate release his returns. This only became a thing when the press pressured Nixon to release his. That was because they were working for the democrats back then too.

    Joe Biden is Crooked as Hillary. He uses his son to launder his foreign bribery money.

    I assume you mean Kamala? But her husband isn’t a government employee and is a pretty successful lawyer.

    Hence why they do not have the deductions of a property management/owner.

    They could also get a better CPA that could probably maximize their ability to keep more of their hard earned money using the existing tax code. Biden has!

    Least not forget that Biden takes full advantage of the same tax policy he's advocated against!

    What nonsense. Countless huge and complex corporations are managing to get their taxes done and filed on time. Why? Because you get as many people as it takes to make it happen. And then, Trump could make them available, like Biden has.

    Not really.

    And I heard that Biden was getting a haircut for $20.

    Chose not to read it, aye?

    I'll snippet some key areas for you. You know, cliff notes for you.

    This is what we call taking advantage of the tax code as it is written.

    There is absolutely no reason why Trump should hand over his tax returns, he has a right to expect them to remain private. If Biden jumped off a cliff should Trump do the same?

    I took it she was making excuses for Trump's lack of returns, when she said business taxes aren't as simple as people think they are. But now you mention it, I could be wrong...

    No one has to release their tax returns, except he repeatedly said he would, and then broke his promise as he typically does. Candidates need to be held to their word. Period. He constantly criticized Obama, hedge fund managers and poor people for not paying enough in taxes. It turns out Trump is the epitome of everything he has rallied his base against. The scary thing is that his supporters are content with that.

    I know right? If only there were a precedent! I mean, why should the American people even care about the financial well being of the commander-in-chief?

    Stop with the lame personal attacks. If you don't have a valid argument, you don't have to reply. I am not and have never been a "Dem". I'm a lifelong Independent, even when I voted for your Messiah Obama. Thankfully I'm smarter now ;)

    What the average person knows about taxes, relating to business start up and ownership, could probably fit on my fingernail.

    But if folks want to keep howling about something they know nothing about, have at it. The real business owners are laughing. And probably voting for Trump..... ;)

Please do explain.

    The walking display of political corruption Hunter Biden isn't running -- but that guy that got him his money from foreign countries, the head of the Biden crime family, is running.
