U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said the beauty of this administration is that all bets are off.  I would guess that the impeachment bet is still on.

1 in 3 Americans said the President earned an F.  I would say he earns an F you.

Every president since Richard Nixon has published their tax return…except Donald Trump.  Kellyanne Conway says nobody cares.  However, over a million of us have signed a petition, insisting he publish his returns.  We will be marching for the same purpose – more about the march later.

So, why should he release his returns?  There are a number of pressing reasons, but a primary one is to determine if the President is telling the truth.  Is he really worth what he says he is?  Are his business interests really successful?  Has he paid the tax liability he claims?  Has he made the charitable contributions he takes credit for?

Here are a few things we know that call his honesty into question:

His prior released tax returns in the 70s and 90s show 0% tax paid due to casino and hotel losses.

He doesn’t even rank in the top 20% of New York real estate developers.

His tax strategies are often “creative,” to say the least, such as putting goats on a golf course to qualify for a farmland tax deduction.

Many banks will no longer lend to him because of his bankruptcy maneuvers.

Trump claims his net worth is in excess of $10 billion.  Forbes says $3.9 billion; Bloomberg says $2.9 billion.

For several years, he qualified for New York tax credits designed for married couples with annual income under ½ million dollars.

He has made no charitable contributions personally, only from his foundation which is funded by others.  In some cases, the donations amounted to free rounds of golf.

 

If President Trump has lied to the Federal Election Commission about any of these items, he has violated a federal criminal statute, with prison terms up to 5 years.

On April 15^th, we are marching in more than 100 cities to show that we do care about Trump’s taxes, and that we are not going away.  For information on how to join your local march, go to www.taxmarch.org.
