TRUMP: Taxes a non-issue

The Russian conspiracy, concerning President Trump failed miserably. Why? No proof, not a smidgen!

Now what — oh, we’re back to Trump’s tax returns and liberal media’s talking points (what do these left wing nuts do, call into a central command post and get their marching orders every morning?!) Well, let’s look at Trump’s taxes for a moment.

For starters, he is not required by law to release returns — presidents before him have — so what! The Clintons and Obamas came into politics with very little and left filthy rich. Maybe there should be an inquiry into just how THAT happened?! Frankly, I’d rather have my president coming in filthy rich than getting that way while on his/her watch! I might add Trump’s wealth wasn’t accumulated by political favors and $450,000 speeches.

If and when Trump releases his returns, I would venture to guess that 99 percent of the folks can’t understand them anyway. When building, buying and selling in the billions of dollars, with depreciation, interest and all of the rest of a very complex tax code, only $500/hour CPAs could grasp what is going on. Now keep in mind his accountants will get him every tax break possible — LEGALLY. Why wouldn’t they? Also, I suspect that in his lifetime, Trump has created more jobs than all of our past presidents and members of Congress combined.

My liberal friends, if Trump pays a bunch or nothing or you never know, what difference does it make? So cool it! Extreme stress, anger and hate are bad for your health.
