This should be a drumbeat. Why is the media silent about his taxes? It should be brought up by every Democratic pundit, talking head, politician, etc.

a better question, imho, is are you going to put all your holdings in a blind trust like other presidents have done?

(8,964 posts)He is not as wealthy as he claims to be
His business interests are marginal or losing money
He has massive liability including unpaid debts.
He pays little or no taxes
His tax deductions are questionable
He contributes little or nothing to charities
Of course this speculation could be or partially or wholly incorrect, and is based solely on Trump's deliberate lack of transparency. Only one way to find out. RELEASE THEM.

Actually some of the Republicans who are trying to stop Trump are making the argument that their candidate should show his or her returns to guarantee the voting public he or she is fiscally intelligent (i.e., upright) enough to hold the reins of government.
