Clinton is a liar and trump is trustworthy. He even says believe me all the time, why wouldn't you.
The thing that astonishes me, about those who support Trump and say they're not concerned that he won't release his tax returns, is that these same people generally accept Trump's allegations that a major source of the Clintons' income since Bill left office - Wall Street speaking fees, fully documented is the Clintons' tax returns - calls into question Hillary's ability to be independent from the influence of Wall Street. Yet isn't it interesting that these same Trump supporters also accept Trump's "there's nothing of interest in them" dismissal of requests for his own tax returns.
The point is, how can Trump supporters possibly know that Trump isn't up to his ears in "entanglements" over his own sources of income if he refuses to release his tax returns, and why is this fact so unimportant to them?

Because Trump's appeal has zero to do with thinking & everything to do with feeling.
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/p...antic-City-Taj-Mahal-casino-presidential.htmlI was thrilled to get a $100,000 contract from Trump. It was one of the biggest sales I'd ever made. I was supposed to deliver and tune the pianos; the Trump corporation would pay me within 90 days. I asked my lawyer if I should ask for payment upfront, and he laughed. "It's Donald Trump!" he told me. "He's got lots of money."
But when I requested payment, the Trump corporation hemmed and hawed. Its executives avoided my calls and crafted excuses. After a couple of months, I got a letter telling me that the casino was short on funds. They would pay 70 percent of what they owed me. There was no negotiating. I didn't know what to do -- I couldn't afford to sue the Trump corporation, and I needed money to pay my piano suppliers. So I took the $70,000.
Losing $30,000 was a big hit to me and my family. The profit from Trump was meant to be a big part of my salary for the year. So I made much less. There was no money to help grow my business. I had fewer pianos in the showroom and a smaller advertising budget. Because of Trump, my store stagnated for a couple of years. It made me feel really bad, like I'd been taken advantage of. I was embarrassed.
Today, when I hear Trump brag about paying small business owners less than he agreed, I get angry. He's always suggesting that the people who worked for him didn't do the right job, didn't complete their work on time, that something was wrong. But I delivered quality pianos, tuned and ready to go. I did everything right. And then Trump cheated me. It's a callous way to do business.
That is both sides. The difference is that right now the things the left says to trigger feelings leads to better outcomes. Just as the base of the left used to be for small government, when it changed so did the rhetoric. If/when the right changes what it likes to hear, so will the rhetoric.

you gotta wonder if Trump specifically sought out a small business to deal with rather than a wholesaler or large reseller who would have had the resources to actually fight back in Trump tried to stiff them on the bill.
Bullshit. The base of the Left (whatever you think that means) has been for big govt ever since the New Deal.
Thanks for admitting that Dems intend better outcomes for the vast majority of Americans.
He's up to his ears in entanglements anyway, regardless if he show us his returns.The thing that astonishes me, about those who support Trump and say they're not concerned that he won't release his tax returns, is that these same people generally accept Trump's allegations that a major source of the Clintons' income since Bill left office - Wall Street speaking fees, fully documented is the Clintons' tax returns - calls into question Hillary's ability to be independent from the influence of Wall Street.

Blind Trusts my ass.
Yeah, but whose skin? His own, or taken from someone else? It doesn't look very natural....It's about Trump being a barely-ambulatory Superfund site. He is an piece of shit wearing human skin--bringing his duped followers along for the brush fire.
He keeps speaking of a blind trust but what he describes is not a blind trust.
Having his kids run his business is far from blind and the fact that Trumps locations and realty business is well known its impossible to keep it blind.
Blind would be he sells everything then has a company invest his money for him without knowing what its invested in.
Well that is likely. Its also true that bigger people would make sure to have lawyers make sure the contract is clear. So they would have double the advantage and he knew it.
It may be in here already.
Uh Oh: Donald Trump May Have Broken The Law

My bad that was the another one, its hard to keep up atm. Does have a lot of other applicable things though.
lol love the faux indignation. Straight forward yes or no answer. Is it possible that the money lost belonged to banks and investors and he himself didn't lose anything? If that is possible and he in turn takes those losses actually bore by others and offsets his own personal income is that not advantageous?
Is that scenario not perfectly legal and plausible?
This is a good article that people who care about understanding the situation should read.

People have said Trump has never paid taxes, really smart people have said it. I trust really smart people some have said Trump has never paid taxes. You have to ask yourself why Trump is acting so suspicious about his taxes.
This would be much simpler if Trump just released his taxes like every other modern candidate has.
Does anyone here pay more taxes than they owe? No? I didn't think so. Quit acting childish as though he has some kind of moral obligation to pay more in taxes. Uncle Sam will gladly take a check in any amount and cash it regardless of you owing it or not.
You have a billion other things to bash him on - mostly his general stupid comments and lack of noteworthy policy.
