Leftists salivate over President Trump's tax returns as if they are the Holy Grail of drumming him out of Washington DC. I have always found it a comedy routine to watch leftists trip over themselves demanding to see these returns. For some reason leftists believe that there is some hidden trove of information contained within those returns that has been kept secret for decades.
Yet, logic dictates that there is nothing there other than complex business dealings leveraging and taking advantage of a complex tax code
Let's review this logically.
President Trump has done business in one of the most heavily taxed states in the United States. Are we to believe that for decades President Trump has committed crimes and tax fraud under the nose of the Department of Taxation and Finance of the great state of New York?
Are we to believe that Trump not only snookered the state of New York but also the IRS?
President Trump was a vocal critic of B. Hussein Obama's birth. Are we to believe that B. Hussein Obama didn't turn the IRS after Trump's returns the way he turned the IRS and Lois Lerner on Tea Party organizations?
Are we to believe that something nefarious is held within those returns and they have not been leaked over the past three years? We know that leaking information out of Washington is a national past time so surely they would have found their way to some enterprising reporter at CNN or the NY Times or Washington Post?
Now, I will stipulate that Trump's reason for not releasing them is pretty lame. Whether he is being audited or not should not be relevant. But, I get that it probably isn't politically prudent to just say "I don't wan to", although he would be perfectly within his rights to do so. In fact, I wish that is what he would say instead of the lame "audit" excuse.
