JSSkinz Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I would like to see his business taxes because its not every day you get to review a billionaires tax returns but the reality is at best we will only see his personal returns and they won't disclose anything about his business dealings.

It's my understanding that a lot of his businesses are set up as S Corps and other flow-through entities which means there is probably a decent amount of revealing information on his individual return as well EDIT: just found this gem: How Congress could get Trump's tax returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see us learning much by reviewing the personal returns and even the business returns would be difficult to understand unless you could ask questions. Just do a Google search for examples, I have tons of S Corp returns I could redact and post and you wont know a damn thing about the write-offs on the Federal Statements unless you ask the question of the business owner. Somebody at the IRS knows what's going on, I wouldn't be surprised if something eventually leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I believe it was Mark Cuban who came out and said that the majority of Trumps businesses were set up as S Corps. Regardless, I think it would be very interesting to see the income and loss of his S Corp businesses (and the disclosure of all these businesses). It wouldn't give us a complete picture but it would be a start that would probably raise eyebrows.. BTW, is that a pittie in your Avatar? Bad ass dog, I love bullies!

China Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's not that people don't care about his taxes, it's just that with all the other things Trump is doing that is angering people or focusing their attention, his tax returns are low on the priority list. It's the Elizabethan philosophy of governing, ignore a problem until something bigger comes along to distract people's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Twenty two thousand more people signed since yesterday afternoon. This is really quite remarkable. It has obliterated - by far - the numbers for any other petition on the White House site. 590,669 As a refresher, here is the title and text of the petition: Immediately release Donald Trump's full tax returns, with all information needed to verify emoluments clause compliance. The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

Dan T. Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 596,122 Clipping along at about 2,000 signatures per hour. Should pass 600,000 around 3:00 or so... I mentioned before that this is easily the most signed petition in the 5-year history of the White House "We The People" petition website. The previous petition with the most signatures, posted in December 2012, called for the Westboro Baptist Church to be declared a hate group. That petition garnered 367,180 signatures. http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/12/28/most-common-petition-subjects/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of feelings, I wonder if depression's on the upswing. I think there've been approximately .5 million more signatures than there are journalists in the US. Percentage is miniscule (as you correctly, grumpily point out), but man - just one more false narrative this administration has vomited over the airwaves (the idea that no one cares).
