Some Legislators Want A Copy Of Trump's Taxes for Past Years


Apr 7, 2019, 6:38 PM

And I'm in favor of that request plus one addition. Every Representative and Senator, regardless of party affiliation, must do the same thing and all documents must be made available to the public.

I hope Congress realizes that the President can request tax returns on any of them, of which most dont disclose either. And I'm betting this President will do just that

Actually, he can't.

Ever since Nixon went after perceived enemies, there have been rules to keep someone like Trump from using the executive departments to punish his enemies or enrich himself.

there's no room to interpret that particular law. It's not ambiguous at all. We all have questions. Such as, in 2009 when Donald Trump stopped paying loan installments to Deutsche Banke and instead sued them for partially causing the banking crisis, why did they lend him money afterwards? He would have been irrevocably broke that time (not that we think he actually has two nickels to rub together that aren't owed to China, Germany or Russia).

Re: Some Legislators Want A Copy Of Trump's Taxes for Past Years


Apr 8, 2019, 8:50 AM [ in reply to Re: Some Legislators Want A Copy Of Trump's Taxes for Past Years ]

Per New York mag:

The law governing this matter is unusually clear. The Internal Revenue Code states, “Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.” This law has been used to examine tax returns of high-placed political officials. It was enacted in order to let Congress examine financial conflicts of interest by the administration, and forced the disclosure of a president’s tax returns (Richard Nixon).
News accounts describe this law as “obscure” or “little used,” which it is — but only because presidential candidates who receive a major-party nomination have habitually published their tax returns. It is a very strong norm that has made the law unnecessary. But the fact that the norm is backstopped by a law strengthens rather than weakens the case for enforcing it.

We should and they all should. Dark money needs to go away as well. We need to see - in the worst way - who these politicians are actually working for. I think people of both parties would be appalled if they knew who was actually running the politicians (again, of both stripes) that are allegedly working for We The People...and aren't.

It ain't complicated. Just Follow The Money.

Actually, saw this interesting (and surprisingly non-partisan) video making the rounds narrated by Jennifer Lawrence, who is all in all a very sharp-seeming chick, about some common-sense reforms We The People need to be passing to take our country back from the professional politicians and those who who are gaming the system beyond recognition.

I like the video, pretty much on point. I would love to see term limits, but it seems unlikely Congress would ever go for that. Sad. I’ve always thought it is a shame that most Americans pigeonhole themselves into full support of one party, and full opposition of the other party. Those folks are sheep. Sensible dems want lower taxes and don’t want socialism. Sensible Pubs will support tighter gun registration and don’t want to see criminals buying guns at gun shows. But media outlets don’t make money selling the sensible dull boring middle, so they cater to the far left and far right cuz it sells. The folks that think CNN & FOX are news are sheep. It’s not news, it’s editorial. They’ll bark about Obama’s birth certificate but it’s non sense. Trump even knows there’s never been an issue w his birth certificate, but Trump knew he could get on the news barking about it. They investigated Hillary and found nothing. Move on. All / most politicians are filthy liars, but Trump has taken it to a new level. Folks in NYC have known him as a fraud for decades. They can’t believe the rest of the country would give him the time of day, to say nothing of voting for him. The guy has never managed an organization larger than 20 people. He has shown zero management skills or leadership skills. If he was employed In management at any corporate level he would have been fired in the first few months. If you believe otherwise, he has more than one bridge to sell you. I bet he can find a bridge for you in your home town and get Mexico to pay for it. No money down bridges!
