Please tell me why we should NOT see Trump’s tax returns.

I, as an American citizen, should see MY President’s tax returns so that I know who is funding him.

Why is that a controversial position?

Because it's not any of your business?

I just don't understand why you give a shite. Oh, it's because someone like Maddow told you to care.

You expect his tax returns to show “who is funding” him? You sad sad little person.

As an American citizen you have zero rights to anybody else's tax return. By law, the President is not required to give it to the public.

Because it’s not required by law that he be compelled to share his financial information with you. And for now, you live in a country that observes a little something called The Rule Of Law. Change the law and get back to us.

Because you're trying to hypothesize a crime or other foul up front, and only then go in search of something to support your hypothesis. Plainly stated...that's just not how it's supposed to work. Reverse engineering a scandal.

This seems apparent...Dems want everything under the sun on Trump so they can find anything to hit him with. Now, if some specific allegation comes up that makes his tax returns relevant...that may be a different ball of wax.

A tax return doesn’t show such info

Either you are still in high school or you have never filed a tax return

Taxpayers pay him $400k/yr salary which he donates to a different cause each quarter.

People of the world fund his companies when they stay, eat, drink, play golf at his properties. This is called running a business though, they are not sliding him a Benjamin when shaking his hand.

Or sending him tens of millions of dollars through a phony foundation that doesn't even file its taxes until years later when he decided to run for POTUS.

Why can't you just agree or disagree w/ the policies he puts in place?

That's literally all that matters.

BTW, I wonder how many Global Warming bedwetters have 401ks that are invested in blue chip oil companies?

Does that now mean that they actually support more global warming?

Point is, the guy is apparently worth billions, so there are going to be a lot of "conflicts of interest" if you go looking to make something up....which is EXACTLY what these scum Dems will do.

Go to work for the IRS, then you can audit his taxes every single year.

More importantly than anything, we should have demanded the last “president” to see his real birth certificate. Tax returns have no bearing. Being sure you are an American citizen is a must.

Well first, why don’t you tell us what you thought about your mayor’s, your governor’s, your state representative’s, your state senator’s, your US representative’s, and your US senator’s tax returns? Did you learn a lot from them? Did you find out who is funding each of them?

Besides this point, which everyone has already schooled you on...

Do you really think a billionaire with businesses and real estate all around the world needs to be "funded" by a foreign government?

Perhaps you should demand more transparency from the career politicians that are worth hundreds of millions?
