Trump and the IRS

[jclalor 12]

Why can’t congress ask the IRS if Trump is under audit?

Why does that matter?

It doesn't.   I expect that Trump IS under audit, as all such large operations should be, on an ongoing basis.

Perhaps he isn’t under audit and Trump has been lying the whole time.

Of course he is lying;

Being under audit has nothing to do with releasing tax returns.

Would the IRS be allowed to divulge that information to Congress?

 

In any respect, why does it matter? Audit or not, the only thing stopping the release of Trump's tax returns is Trump.

Even if I was the most rabid Trump supporter (which I'm not), it would not keep me from wondering what he was hiding.

Who cares?

 

Two jobs 

1 Protect my rights

2 stay out of my life and wallet.

 

  If the president wants to do blow of the inner thigh of a midget hooker I really don’t care,  I wouldn’t want someone in that office who couldn’t figure out how give the IRS the least as possible. If you want to be honest the IRS is more of a threat to mainstreet than ISIS.

 Doesn’t make any difference.

The word “shall” is not ambiguous.

 

tRumps tax returns will become public information soon. 

Once the depths of tRumps depraved financial transactions become public, the Trumpettes will be exposed as being gullible buffoons. 

Faux Spews will make it seem otherwise.

Your posts appear to be written by a 5th grader that was never taught manners.

I have an autistic boy at home in the 6th grade that plays with words almost as much as you do.

Congrats.

Correct. Being under audit is just a bogus excuse Trump came up with. And his idiot followers believe him.

How do you propose to pay for our oversized military if nobody pays taxes?  Or law enforcement?  Or a hundred other things that a civilized society needs to operate?  Or would you prefer anarchy?

Borrow the money, run up huge debt, declare bankruptcy.

It's how Trump always does it.

Come on folks - no matter what side one is on - let's be real - Tax Avoidance is a National sport in America. Nobody in government or elsewhere seems to care about National debt - that beat will keep going until our financiers pull the $$$ plug -

Where does the word "shall" come from to be significant here? Just Curious

This whole thing is reminds me of Barry's birth certificate.

Must have missed something. Didn't see trump release his tax returns and Democrats claim they are fake.

Tax 'obedience' is higher in the US that just about anywhere else.
One of the reasons Greece had such horrible economic problems was tax avoidance. Italy too.

The law as written.

It says that the IRS shall provide the tax returns when Congress demands it. 

 

It's in the link I posted.

Edit to add:

I can't find the post I made with the link about Congress demanding Trump's tax returns.

So here's the link with the 'shall' in it:

Personal attack much?

When does the ban start?

Maybe when you go running to the teacher with your mom to complain!

I was referring to the sport of avoidance not "evasion" - seldom have I heard from friends or acquaintances that they don't mind leaving $$$ on the table for IRS.

Thanks for the link. Now I get it.

Are you claiming that Trump hasn't done this?
