President Trump did not release his tax returns during his presidency, which is unusual for a modern U.S. president. This led to legal battles over whether Congress or other authorities could obtain his tax returns.


The House Ways and Means Committee, which is responsible for overseeing federal tax policy, requested Trump's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS initially refused to release the returns, but the committee ultimately obtained them through a legal process known as a "summons."


The committee released some information from Trump's tax returns, including that he paid no federal income tax in 10 of the 15 years before he became president, and that he had significant business losses and debts.


The committee plans to use the tax returns as part of its investigation into various issues, including whether the IRS is properly enforcing tax laws and whether the president has conflicts of interest.


President Trump and his legal team have opposed the release of his tax returns, arguing that it is a violation of his privacy and that the committee does not have a legitimate legislative purpose for obtaining them. >


including whether the IRS is properly enforcing tax laws

Whether? They're not. Trump got Mnuchin to hide his tax returns from the auditors and they violated federal law by not doing the mandated audits while Trump was in office. >

And then Mnuchin probably used his public position to enrich others. IE all of the money handed out. Threw a little meat to the starving masses (stimulus) packaged on top of beelions, and beellions handed out to everyone else. >

Then convinced the rubes it was stimulus and COVID (and not the tax reform) that’s pushing prices up for everything. 🤮 >

Classic “conservative” economic theory.  Any time the annual budget deficit gets under control pass massive tax cuts.  Blame resulting deficit increase on democrats.  Rinse and repeat.  Our taxes are the lowest they have been in 100 years.  Deficit is the highest.  Hmm. >

"The committee report also listed several overarching issues it believed the IRS should have investigated. For example, Trump claimed large cash donations to charities, but the report said the IRS did not verify them. The report also said that while Trump’s tax filings were large and complicated, the IRS does not appear to have assigned experts to work on them."
What a bunch of shit apples >

That's why Republicans keep defunding it...
They want an IRS that's too underfunded to go after anyone rich enough for a lawyer.
It's why when staffing was going to increase, they tried to trick the rubes into thinking armed IRS agents would start knocking on their doors. >

Tried?  They succeeded.  All my dipshit Republican relatives are afraid the irs is gonna kick their door down any day now. >

Lol. What are they hiding that they are afraid of the IRS. 
Edit:spelling >

They think the irs is going to take their guns too. >

They are not smart people, got it. >

Republicans also defunded the education system.  It is a multi-prong strategy. >

They'll defund everything but the police, the one group that actually does want to take their guns away. >

“They'll defund everything but the police, the one group that actually does want to take their guns away.”
That’s the thing that bugs me the most. The cops are most affected by lax gun laws but none of them dare open their mouths to oppose anything. Where are all the so called good ones? >

Cops know it wouldn't be a popular move among their right-wing supporters to be openly anti-gun, and they don't have to be because it's essentially already legal for a cop to kill someone and take their property for no reason, anyway. >


In a video statement last Friday, Trump called the planned release “an outrageous abuse of power,” and falsely claimed that Democrats had “illegally obtained and leaked my personal tax returns, which show only that I’ve had tremendous success.” 
That was thanks to Trump claiming $15 million in business losses, which resulted in him having negative $4 million in adjusted gross income. Trump then claimed a $5 million refund.  
Trump reported millions in negative income in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2020, and he paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.

Tremendous success? I guess the last election was a tremendous success as well >

So I pay more than 10 times the income tax that the Donald pays… does that mean I am a ten- billionaire? >

Taxes should be based on wealth, not income.  Income can be manufactured to be negative if you can afford the right accountants. >

That wouldn't work. It would mean rich people would have to pay taxes. >

Id say that it should probably be both.
Basically if you have more than 20M in assets, then every 5 years your assets get assessed and you pay something small on that growth.  Small as in 6%
Once the assets are sold, you get a tax credit for the amount of tax already paid on them.
This makes it so that the ultra wealthy don't hold all their treasure in assets and pay 0% tax on that treasure because they simply take out loans against the assets rather than selling them.
Moreover, for people with 20M+, any loans taken are reported as income until paid back.
Right now rich people are stocking all their treasure in assets, taking loans against those assets and repaying those loans with more loans.
Since asset growth and loans aren't taxed, they pay no taxes for this activity >

The idea that someone like Trump can sit on a mountain of property and fuck the system so hard that he pays less than 2 million in taxes over 6 years is objectively and morally wrong. Legal or not there is some high-class fuckery going on and it should be every working person's demand that it stop. >

Absolutely bonkers. If anything demonstrates how fucked the system is…. Unbelievable >

I hope he gets so angry he runs as a third party candidate for POTUS in 2024 >

Probably a bluff as a threat to the RNC.  He would have to provide significant funding/infrastructure to an independent campaign and doubt he would do that.  He would get some money from his cult, but I doubt it would be enough. >

You're right, it's 100% a threat 
"you better not have another candidate or I'll run 3rd party so you lose" >

We can only hope >

Split the party! Split the party! >


“the Democrats should have never done it, the Supreme Court should have never approved it, and it’s going to lead to horrible things for so many people."

Nope. Just you. 
If Congress wanted my tax returns, SCOTUS would never know about it.

Rep. Kevin Brady ... said Democrats had ... [overturned] decades of privacy protections for average Americans.”

Nope. This will have zero effect on "average Americans." >

Many of those voters only care about themselves.  Makes sense that the only way to get them to oppose something is to convince them that they will be at risk too.  Otherwise, they won't give a shit. >

If his not-for-the-government tax returns were transmitted to his various creditor banks electronically (as opposed to sending paper copies), isn't that wire fraud? Just asking. >

If it was sent via USPS, then it would be mail fraud. That's a felony. >


That's a felony

For the common folks, it certainly would be >

Considering the Postal Service police were the ones to arrest Steve Bannon, I'd say they have a chance to be the ones to take Trump in as well
