Trump’s Taxes Are the Best Case Yet for Putting Him in Prison

What do you base that claim on? America was an agrarian society and farmers could not be full-time politicians. That time has long passed. People can be full-time politicians. It is not bad to have experienced people in politics. replacing them with neophytes is not a good idea. Training periods exist in every job. The new employees are worth a lot less until they get the hang of how things are done.I am in Michigan too and the redistricting was slow. We should have charged U of Ms math dept with finding as fair a districting as possible. It is a math/geography problem. Note, the Dems have some power and they fight to get fair redistricting. The Reds fought to gerrymander their asses off. Fair was not part of their mindset.

Well, we voters took care of *that* little problem.

Thanks for your civil response regarding term limits. I don't agree but who cares. lol What's your take on the abortion prop?

Jailing Trump for his taxes is a nice idea but the article makes a lousy argument for doing so. Most all it as about reforming tax laws Trump used to his advantage rather than reasons for prosecuting him. There is only the observation that Trump is required by law to have evidence for his deductions, something we all knew - no assertion he lacked the evidence.

I want to see him in prison for his other crimes first.
 
Trump is most vulnerable for the truckload of classified documents he admitted he stole. That is a very easy case to prosecute. It includes lying to the FBI and hiding classified documents. when the Feds rounded up all they could find. Trump has no defense for any of that.

They gave him so much time and so many opportunities, there is no other possibility in my opinion.

[FONT=&]In fact, even if some of it was previously teased by the committee, the dump includes a cornucopia of information that affects your wallet—including powerful evidence of criminal tax evasion.

[FONT=&]Knowing that your income, deductions, and tax paid will be publicly available can do far more to encourage honest tax-paying than audits, which are increasingly rare and increasingly superficial.

[FONT=&]Not even 500 of the nearly 25,000 households reporting incomes of $10 million or more in 2019 were audited. That’s 2 percent—just 1 in 50. Only 66 audits were completed.

[FONT=&]People like Trump who earn money from legal sources can cheat like crazy on their tax returns with almost nothing to fear. That’s because fewer than 600 people at all income levels are convicted of tax fraud in a typical year.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]That makes the odds of conviction about 1 in 275,000 taxpayers. But the odds for business owners are much better (which is to say less), because most people convicted of tax crimes are drug dealers, politicians who took bribes, or people who paid bribes.

[FONT=&]The IRS, as funded by Congress, spent far more money auditing the working poor than the 24,457 households with incomes of $10 million and up in 2019. But don’t get angry at the IRS. They are just the tax police, enforcing the law as they are instructed by Congress. If Congress tells the IRS to focus on high-income tax cheating, it will.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]A little-known reason the IRS rarely audits someone like Trump, even if there are indications of brazen fraud, is that if an audit will not raise any revenue immediately, it looks bad on IRS performance reports.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Consider a rich business owner who fabricates deductions but who would still owe zero tax in the audited year even if those deductions were denied. That means an audit that will not generate any tax revenue. That’s also what Trump apparently did in 26 sole proprietor, or Schedule C, filings in the six years of released tax returns.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Denying the immediate deductions may mean more taxes in future years, but the way the IRS measures audit performance, it doesn’t take future taxes into account. As a result, many working and retired IRS auditors have told me over the years, the IRS typically decides to audit other filers who are more likely to generate taxes immediately, allowing multi-year tax cheats to slip away

You have a bunch of statistics and that's your "best case yet for putting him in prison"? Don't you think you should have some evidence pertaining to Trump's individual case? Oh, and make sure it was legal to release his taxes TO THE PUBLIC against his wishes. That way you avoid the "fruit of the poisonous tree".

Trump said he had no problem releasing his taxes, once all of the audits were completed.

Interesting take. Well, it helped us get rid of some pretty marginal pols by terming them out. It also is a counter against gerrymandering. We took care of that in Michigan too, and now have districts drawn up by a nonpartisan, independent commission.

Public service was meant to be a short-term thing, not a lifetime appointment to the feeding trough.

Michigan pols are playing musical chairs. When termed out, they run for another office.

And? The situation remains unchanged. Someone released his taxes TO THE PUBLIC, against his wishes, and without his expressed permission! What the hell is wrong with you people! First you weaponize the DOJ against him, now the IRS! Fucking putin could take lessons from you clowns.

His taxes show nothing illegal. Nothing. All approved by democrat Congress. Not that I would expect you, a wannabe Vet to understand that. Or the three dumbfucks that "thanked" you for your ignorance. Cartoon Ken, grow a pair. Kill yourself. Need help? PM me.

That's true! The despicable microdick Rep. Beau LeFave got termed out, and then ran for Secretary of State, but didn't even make it through the primaries. HaHA. He tried to appeal to more rational voters by claiming that the reason he wanted to be SOS was so he could fix whatever he thought was wrong with the license bureaus. But in reality he was canoodling with Michigan (R)s who were eager to rewrite voting laws, ditch by-mail voting, and otherwise make it more difficult to cast your ballot.
