Watch Trump "explain" why he can't produce his tax returns, although he'd LOVE to! Although you can't tell about a person's wealth by their tax returns, but he'd LOVE to produce them...no one else gets audited every year but I do!...he files statements that say how wealthy he is...but he can't produce his tax returns because of auditing, although he would...he'd LOVE to!

(12,344 posts)that he can't be under audit for 50 years. We are too stupid to state the obvious.

(12,344 posts)Still, the longest an audit can normally go is 3 years, sometimes 6 under unusual circumstances, but nobody ever asked for returns 7 years or older.

(3,736 posts)Seems a House tax committee has valid reasons to investigate tax laws to see if the tax-payer is being ripped off.
Clearly, there is necessity to invoke the law requiring the income taxes of Trump (top dog rep of the ruining class) to be made available to committee.
Trump said so, as he is exposing the rot of the rich, and reveling in revealing the dirty secrets of super-class socialism.
Some sarcasm!

(12,344 posts)Most of the pundits and pols clucking about his returns are wealthy. We suspect many of them cheat. In our cynical age, perhaps the admitted criminal really does seem more honest than those who hide.
Even release your returns doesn't prove anything, there are lots of ways to avoid reporting income.

(37,648 posts)Cohen testified that Trump would turn in false numbers for values of properties, and some other things, for tax purposes. Tax fraud.

(37,648 posts)Once they accepted children taken from parents, flown hundreds of miles away, and no records kept of parent identities, and the children locked in cages with concrete floors...once they accepted that, they had crossed that line. That line that stops you from doing something inhumane, or accepting inhumane things done to others. I hate to say it, but I saw how Germany pre-WWII happened, when I saw that. How seemingly normal people had been brought to the acceptance of inhumanity to others.
Unlike Germany, there is a large group of millions who will not stand by and let these things happen without a fight. I believe the children in cages will be the poster child of the Trump Administration. The shame it must wear as a badge forever.
