Trump and tax returns, part 2

Would Trump's tax returns still be a big issue if he had just said 'no' at the start?

Why? Do I remind you of someone unpleasant?

Do me a favor, argue in favor for a Trump to show me you do see another side. It's easy to feel only one thing.

Okay. Give me a topic.

If Trumpy would've gotten ahead of this it would've had less impact. I, personally, don't care that he didn't come out and say, 'Gee, I should've paid more in taxes." That's not a realistic response from anyone.

That's not really the point.

For one, he's bucking tradition. Fine, i don't really care.

For two, he's selling his business acumen as his primary qualification for being President of the United States.

For three, his first excuse of his attorneys giving him advice about not releasing anything because of an audit sounds like bull****. I guess he knew that because ...

For four, his newest excuse "i'll release it after Hillary releases her emails" is another totally bogus excuse.

For five, the biggest actual black mark on Hillary is lack of transparency, and as long as he remains less transparent, he cannot truly attack her on transparency.

For six, one through five above work together to paint the picture of someone with something to hide. It makes him look like he could be a crook.

Trump for trade and making the middle class better off. I'll argue against.

Since, I didn't ask for your opinion it won't be considered.
 
I voted 'other' because let's face it;

a. He's a loud-mouthed hot-dog
and
b. Even though Hillary and Bill have done more crooked things via The Clinton Foundation donations (and the resulting paybacks/kickbacks/DoS-sanctioned political favors) than Donald could ever dream of,
the mainstream media will never give him a pass.

Hillary is the anointed monarch.
It's her time.
We OWE her the Presidency after her Party so cruelly kicked her to the curb in 2008, in favor of an even bigger liar and crook than she is.

It's her time.
We owe her.

Donald must go down.
Right?
That's the media narrative, and so let's make it so.

So Trump hasn't paid payroll taxes?

He hasn't paid Social security and Medicare taxes?

Federal income withholding taxes?

Federal unemployment taxes?

Excise Taxes?

Property taxes?

Franchise taxes?

The tax codes are set up for most businesses to pay taxes on income/loss.

Has Trump done anything illegal or has he played by the tax laws and rules?

I guess ignorance is bliss to those who think Trump hasn't paid any taxes.

It is impossible to reconcile this statement with the earlier one where you made up the bogus excuse about ignoring a statement in virtue of it being unsolicited.
 
I believe Trumps tax returns are only an issue to leftist who want to discredit him while given Hillary a pass on almost everything. No I revise that...a pass on everything.
 
The matter would've probably died down, as at the very least, he'd have taken a decisive stance on the subject instead of his constant equivocation and ever changing excuses. As to the apologists citing the audit as an excuse to Trump's chicken**** conduct, the IRS made it clear that an audit doesn't deter anyone from releasing his tax returns; so enough with that asininity.
