ADMIN,
I was pointing at myself as I am the hick from NV - born there and mostly raised there - I apologize if I violated a rule. It was a shot at me.
MD - what is a tax return going to tell you? Everything I own is in an LLC - if the IRS has not caught him, how do you expect to catch him? There is NO requirement that a tax return is needed to run for any office. If you make it mandatory then make it mandatory for ALL public offices - I would love to see Waters and Pelosi's to start with - we are getting to a point whereby people are second guessing and IMHO you are going down a bad path. Would you run for office knowing what possibly could happen to you and/or your family? IMHO it is not worth the hassles to hold a public office. At some point we need to get back and swing the pendulum to the middle - the world is not gonna end and Bloomberg is NOT the savior - want to see tax returns - figure his out
Come on LandM,
I don't think you're so far gone as to actually believe the nonsense of your second paragraph.
If nothing to hide, release it.
Don't
promise dozens of time to release it and then not,
first time of anyone running for the highest office in the land.
Hey, maybe he's clean as a whistle, no bank fraud involved when comparing his tax filings with his bank filings.
Maybe.
Maybe he's paid the same sort of net tax rate that you and I have averaged over the years.
Could be.
Maybe he's given to philanthropy generously, heck maybe even more generously on a % basis as you and I have likely done.
Possible.
Maybe all his business transactions were clean, no money laundering for Russians, Saudi's, etc.
Maybe nothing of the sort.
Maybe no debts to Russians, Saudi's or mob;
Maybe.
Heck, maybe he's actually worth (or was worth sometime in the last 5 years) the $10 billon he told you when asking for your vote.
Hey, it's possible, right?
But, here's the problem...he does not want you know any of this.
It would make him look too good, too rich, too generous, too honest, perhaps?
