Are we entitled to such personal info?

Are we not innocent, until proven guilty?
Doesn't probable cause, extend to everyone?

Has this tax thing always been a prerequisite of the office?

Most politicians spend their entire lives establishing a persona for the public eye, that includes their taxes, it is a charade that they could hold out in the general public to not be criticized for. Trump who is NOT a politician has not spent his life being politically correct in order to get votes.

Everyone reading this would do everything they can within the law to pay as little tax as possible. Rich people like Trump do exactly the same thing. Is the issue with rich people NOT paying taxes the problem or are the laws that allow it the problem.

This is why we need tax reform. Trump believes the system in which tax is imposed and then those that have the money to payoff to imposer gets an exception is wrong. We need so form of simple tax that does not take an IRS to enforce.

Personally I like a consumer tax on everything but food. This way the poor pay appropriately for a Neon and the rich pay appropriately for a Lincoln.

No need to file taxes, simply regulate at the point of sale. Very small IRS.

I don't think you meant to say it that way. You can't believe that. He probably has a team of accountants and tax lawyers costing enough in a year to retire several of us for life. I'll bet he would prefer a more fair, certainly less intimidating, tax collection system.

LOL - Well then you should be happy that Obama's college transcripts were never sealed, right?  (that's a fact)  http://www.factcheck.org/2012/07/obamas-sealed-records/

But let me get this straight - you're concerned about the papers written from a candidate?  Obama's papers are out there for public consumption.  Trump's are nowhere to be found... mainly because he's never actually written anything...  So, let's then dismiss the fact that trump never really wrote about public policy/government/civics or whatever.  What of his business?  What of his buying chinese steel, his chinese clothing line, his 6 bankruptcies?  Yeah, let's talk about trump's ideology.....

If you notice, I still call him MY president.  You have every right to defend him, I have every right to hold him accountable.  Since he made it a big media event looking into Obama's birth certificate, then it's fair game to demand his tax returns be made public.

End of story.

So to be clear, the next candidate to run for president against trump will not have to release any financials, right??  yeah, right....

Maybe you should try looking at things without partisan glasses on.  Both democrats and republicans have done great things for this country.  They both need to be held accountable when necessary.  That's the job of us.  In the end, we get the president we deserve.

I already know what his tax returns are going to show. He didn't pay a lot of taxes because he used lawyers to find the various loopholes. Probably has some income coming out of Russia or other areas of the world that we would call questionable. Probably had dealings with celebrities and politicians  that they would rather not be made public which might be the real reason he stonewalling.  i'm not sure there's anything on his tax return that would make me object to him. if someone could show beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knowingly and willingly withheld information to pay a substantial amount fewer taxes, that might be a problem.

and of course we are all hypocrites on here! Sew being the chief among us. The rest of us fall in line under that.

however, everyone should commit to explaining why their hypocrisy is slightly less hypocritical in the next guys hypocrisy!

for example you could say I'm being hypocritical when I complained about Obama's use of executive actions yet I favor Trump's. You could make that charge. I could refute that by saying that so far most of his actions have been to reverse previous executive actions, his other actions have been done in the same manner Obama did which is to circumvent Congress.  One other major difference I would say about Trump is he seems to have more people behind his executive actions that Obama did. But that just might be my impression.

So you'd be cool with him accepting loans from russia? (that's the rumor anyway - his credit is pretty well shot here in the US, that's no secret.)  To me, that signals a huge problem and conflict of interest.  It's no different than taking a loan from Iraq.

The fact is, he IS willingly withholding information that could potentially show his conflicts.  What other reason is there to not release them?

As to what he paid in taxes?  I honestly don't care - if he played within the confines of the tax code - that's completely legal and good on him.  Look at Steve Jobs - he drew a salary of $1 from Apple.  His stocks in Apple was where he made his money and paid pennies in taxes...

Sorry, this smells of deliberate concealment.....

I am pretty sure we already covered the reason to not disclose your taxes during an audit, but you seem to not except that reasoning.  But, just because you don't except it, because you yourself are wearing partisan glasses, doesn't make it any less valid.

The issue of income taxes being made public is simply to reveal any conflicts of interest.  Judges recuse themselves if they have a conflict of Interest, shouldn't other decision makers.      However, income taxes are private and should not be required.   How else to judge, hmmm?

Sorry, but Chicago is not a gun control utopia, it is an NRA utopia where anyone can get a gun since there are millions available (legal, illegal, stolen) all for a toke or a bag.  really, most of the killings are gang related, either killing each other off or the occasional bystander.  It really is the by product of a intentional ghetoizing of a population and denying them (and truly themselves after several generations) of any hope of a productive job.  15 yr olds get prego so they can have status, the boys commit as much crime as possible while still juvies knowing they will only spend a few years at camp.  Both parties helped create this because of our racist attitudes.  U wold have to level the ghettos and disgtribute that population among the rest of the nation so they can learn self esteem, work and study skills. What do you think the odds are of that happening? :D

Your right while Chicago is #1 in total murders it indeed is not # 1 per capita.  It is actually 18 of 20.  Oddly, do you know what else is 18 of 20?  The number of Democrat mayors in the top 20.  Coincidence, I think not.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry for not responding to you....smh

I have nothing to say about that, except that it's terrible.  There is ZERO defense of it.  Again, try to stay on point - which was - Chicago is a whipping post for the fear mongering right.  That's ALL I said.

Yeah, there's clearly a problem with illegal guns and murder in all the cities on the list.  But I find it odd that guys like you point out that it's the democrats fault in those cities - but give no credit to, say, the democratic mayor of NY where murder and violence is down....

Typical I guess.

Crime is down in NY not because of the current Democrat mayor, its b/c we had a republican mayor (Rudolph Giuliani) that took over a crime ridden city from a democrat (David Dinkins) and went along way in fixing the city.  If given enough time Bill De blasio  will screw it up again, hopefully he will lose this year and it will be a non issue though.

Idk where you live, but I spent my entire life living in NYC so I think I know a little more about the topic them you do.  Look it up it is all factual.  Rudolph Giuliani is the one who cleaned up NYC, you can try to say I am ignorant, but it is a fact and if you deny it you are ignorant sir.

I live in Chicago - I'm not a fan of NY, but I just look at the numbers.  I hate to point it out, but rudy hasn't been in office in 16 years.... sorry, all but irrelevant in the crime numbers of the last 8 years or so.

You seemed to have overlooked Bloomberg (an independent for his final years as mayor), but hey, I'm not the one from NY, right?  Crime under him dropped to 1950 levels.... how about that?

Also hate to have to list out facts, but:

Bloomberg, a republican for most of his time as mayor, continued the vast improvements that Giuliani made.  You cant deny that the city was in horrible conditions after years of Democratic control, and only after republicans took over were improvements made.  Giuliani began these improvements and Bloomberg continued the improvements.  De blasio took over and he started a war with the Cops.  Just because he hasn't regressed to turn the city back to how the democrats left it is not a ringing endorsement of democrat control.

If you define half as most... then um, OK....

Get over the democrat hate, huh?  Yeah, rudy did some good things, but he was by no means perfect - neither was bloomberg or de blasio.

But you hate the democrats so much, you're anticipating failure by de blasio, but it's just not happening.  Sorry.

Look at my posts, I hate the man trump, but I have hopes for my country.  I truly hope I'm wrong about my complaints of trump, but so far, it's been less than encouraging....

I don't hate democrats just their ideology.  When almost all of the most dangerous murder ridden cities are run by democrats its logical to draw a connection between the two and anticipate problems when a democrat takes over.  How would you explain the fact that democrat power and murder numbers increase proportionately?  Just a horrible coincidence seen for decades?

I can't explain it - it's truly terrible.  Again, I was never defending the crime or passing blame.

The point is - Chicago is far from the worst in terms of crime/murder per-capita.  The righties use us as whipping post and it's just not accurate.

LOL, the whole BLM, at its base, it aimed directly at that very thing..

If you look at conviction rates for similar infractions, minorities are far more likely to serve time over a non-minority for the same offense.

Shots are taken a lot faster at a black minority than any other.

It's not like the BLM is saying ONLY black lives matter, it's that they matter the SAME as others.

This is not true.  Differences in conviction and sentencing rates by race are due to differences in the gravity of the criminal offenses, prior records or other legal variables. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases in the country's 75 largest urban areas actually found lower felony prosecution rates for blacks than whites and that blacks were less likely to be found guilty at trial.

Where do you have evidence of this?

It's not like the BLM is saying ONLY black lives matter, it's that they matter the SAME as others.

I referenced black lives matter because if you compare statistics from the FBI and DOJ you will see that demographics of people killed by cops is directly proportional to the demographics of violent criminals in this country. That is cops aren't racist thugs that set out each day with the goal to kill a black person.

The 1,217 deadly police shootings from 2010 to 2012 captured in the federal data show that blacks, age 15 to 19, were killed at a rate of 31.17 per million, while just 1.47 per million white males in that age range died at the hands of police.

Post by Joer0952 on 01/30/17 at 14:35:24

I don't know where you got those numbers but your chopping up statistic to an age range that fits their narrative.  I on the other hand look at total numbers by race b/c cops don't id check a person like a bouncer at a bar before they pull the trigger.  according to the doj whites make up about 43% and blacks 22% of violent criminal offenders.

https://www.amren.com/news/2015/07/new-doj-statistics-on-race-and-violent-crime/

The Washington post reported that 47% of those killed by cops is white and 24% is black.  

https://www.statista.com/chart/5211/us-citizens-killed-by-police-2016/

do you see the connection?

My data was indeed flawed - my bad.  As it turns out, it was based on incomplete FBI stats.

However, I did find this read quite interesting and based on census and good FBI stats for 2015.

they use correct statistics but they analyzed them poorly.  It you compare the demographics of the general population, like they did, with the demographics of those killed by cops then it appears biased.  But, to compare those 2 is misguided because it implies that in an unbiased society all members of that society should be equally likely to be killed by a cop.  That is fundamentally wrong, someone committing violent crimes logically would have a much higher likelihood of finding themselves in an altercation with a police officer that would lead to their death than your average joe working the 9 to 5.  For this reason comparing the demographics of violent crime offenders to the demographics of those killed by cops is much more apropo, and when you do so you see that the statistics line up very nicely as I have previously stated and you can look at my previous post for links to back it up.

Joe, I agree with your post, but will add some qualifiers that need further attention.
They say population, but how many white/black/other are generally wandering about on the street?

wouldn't it be great if the guns of the future were available now?

Can you elaborate I am not sure what you mean by "They say population, but how many white/black/other are generally wandering about on the street?"

Yes having the option would be nice for police, but having never had anyone pointing a gun at me I wonder what it must be like to have to make those split second decisions in those high adrenaline situations.

Well I understand that common areas to spend your time is a confounding variable, but I don't think your location should play that great a role.  Simple since police are in the business of law enforcement they are concerned with individuals breaking the law regardless of their location and are thusly more likely to interact with them then those abiding the law.  For that reason I was just trying to say that a statistical analysis comparing the death by cops rate seen in different races has to take this into account for it to be a fair analysis.

Well I understand that common areas to spend your time is a confounding variable, but I don't think your location should play that great a role.  Simple since police are in the business of law enforcement they are concerned with individuals breaking the law regardless of their location and are thusly more likely to interact with them then those abiding the law.  For that reason I was just trying to say that a statistical analysis comparing the death by cops rate seen in different races has to take this into account for it to be a fair analysis.[/quote]

But, if equal populations are likely to be outside and harassed by cops then the analogy is false.[/quote]

well only if you assume that cops drive around and say "man im bored, nothings going on, you know what, pull up to those guys over there, lets screw with them for a while"

A thousand murders in a city of ten thousand is something.
A thousand murders in a city of ten million is quite another.
Per Capita matters.
But Not being the worst is not a great comfort.
When fifty are shot on a weekend, something is wrong.

*sigh*... again......  I NEVER DEFENDED THE MURDERS/VIOLENCE... I only said that Chicago is not the "murder capital" and is safer than Baltimore, St. Louis and several other major cities.

LMAO!!  Wow... I seriously don't know why it's so hard for everyone to understand that....

I apologize for bringing this back on topic.  Why is seeing a person's tax returns important?  To see where they get their income so you can judge if his decisions are based on his beliefs, his income sources, or whatever. The recent incident where, while testifying before congress in his confirmation hearing, a candidate "forgot" his $100 million income from a source (Australian Pharamacy or something like that).(Was it the candidate for Health and Human services?)  shows why it is important.  If you do not see this basic correlation, you are indeed a brick.  You may be a brick that is the foundation of this country but a brick none the less.

Well said!  Thanks for bringing it back on topic!

Here's the excerpt:

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Treasury Department says his initial failure to disclose $100 million in assets was an “unintentional” oversight.

Steven Mnuchin on Thursday told the Senate Finance Committee that revised documents he filed with the committee a day earlier showed the additional assets, and blamed the complexity of nominee paperwork for those assets missing initially.

“As you all can appreciate, filling out these government forms is quite complicated,” he said. “The paperwork … was quite a job.”


Um, “The paperwork … was quite a job.” ?????

Yeah, just the kind of guy you want running the Treasury Dept.

Almost as bad as head of state department not having a clue about the importance of protecting state secrets.
The outrage today while pretending she w a s pure and innocent destroys your moral high ground.

Hey look!  It's the "I know you are, but what am I?" rebuttal.

LOL
Get over it - she lost.  Meanwhile, this genius complains about the paperwork... yeah, great start for a nominee....

I agree, that is lame. The job is gonna be a lot of paperwork.
If he's not up for it,he should decline.
I just can't help but enjoy watching people get all worked up over everything that is not okay with anyone who is not the same party as they are while they walk right by the illegal, immoral and stupid actions of their party.

100  Million,  ‘forgot’,  and the ultra-left  whines and cries about it.

Do a,  ‘Paul  Harvey’.

By  very, conservative  sources  (not political conservatism),  it’ s  3.7  BILLION
(Chicken  Noodle  News has it at, 8.7 Billion)
The other highest  (conservative), is 4.5  Billion.

So  for sake of numbers, let’s say 4, Billion.
$4,000,000,000.00   (4   Billion)
  $100,000,000.00    (100 Million)
Take away  7  Zeros,  you have.
400.00  Dollars,   vs   10.00 dollar.

To ALL  of us here, (guessing),   100 Mill is a  rather  Significant  Sum of money.
To someone worth  4   BILLION   (+/-)   ???????
And someone else, doing  the accounting.  ??????

Again, take away zeroes.
You and me,  it is like, 400 dollars,   vs  10 Dollars.
(It has been reported if  Bill Gates,  dropped a  500.00 bill on the sidewalk, it would cost him 1,500.00 to stop and pick it up)

In  MOST, of the places,  a   Very, ‘Posh’, dinner for two,
could cost upwards of 200.00
In  the Places the POTUS is Social,
The same, dinner,  (which would be classed as  ‘average’)
Would cost upwards of, 1,000.00.

So could he, ‘forget’ a  10.00,  (In OUR  SPEAK),  payment. ?
Yep, I think so.

Let’s see,   “Reality”,  (which is not really, ‘real’,  as I have been told)
In getting the paperwork together for this years Taxes,
I discovered, a   ‘UN  REPORTED PAYMENT”,  on last years  Taxes,
of a $1.37.   I  ‘Forgot about it’.  

Gee,  Call  CNN,   Report It   !!!!!!!!!
