[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple. He's a lying liar who lies. And gullible people believe him.[/quote]
I'm not even sure that they believe him...I think they just don't care.  It's truly mystifying.[/quote]

I don't care.

Why should I care what's in his tax returns?

I already know he's a billionaire who is probably taking all kinds of crazy deductions unavailable to the common man or woman.  I would ASSUME he's maxing deductions and tax loopholes, that's one of the reasons he's a billionaire.  Paying as little as possible to the tax man is one of the strategies that helps rich people get that way and stay that way.

I don't need to see Trump's tax returns to assume he's doing all of that.   In terms of "I don't care," I would care if he wasn't maxing his tax deductions and loopholes since that would indicate he isn't too smart.

In terms of is he or is he not a tax cheat, I'm going to have to assume that whether or not there are any on-going audits, that the IRS would audit his returns if it thinks it needs to, and if he's suspected of committing a crime, refer it to the Justice Department.  Not my job, not your job, I'm certainly not competent to review someone else's tax return and determine what it means, and most likely, neither are you.[/quote]

Does the lack of transparency bother you?  What is he hiding?  We've had other wealthy candidates and presidents, most of whom took advantage of all the tax deductions and loopholes they could, and they released their tax returns.

Not only is Trump possibly hiding something, but he's made excuses and promises to show his tax returns and then hasn't.  Just like he was going to hold a press conference about his conflict of interests in business and how he was going to address that.  And then he didn't.

So strange that a country preoccupied with the honesty and integrity of Hillary Clinton will excuse all the lying, cheating, scheming and machinations of Trump.  What's at the bottom of it? [/quote]
