Thousands march across the country demanding Trump release his tax returns

There is NOTHING in the law that says anything about a Presidential candidate or President having to release their private protected under the law tax filings.

 

You have obviously not read the link, if you did you can answer the very question. You are merely wasting my time. Read the link.

 

I'm sure he'll follow the constitution, that's my main concern. By the way there are gay couples in my Church too.

 

Yes, it is his constitutional duty and it should never be partizan as it would undermine the very constitution he is sworn to uphold. My instinct is that he is going to be above the political divide. One of the past SC few rulings that really gives me pause is the Citizens United ruling.....

 

Hillary refused to release something far more important, transcripts of her paid Wall St speeches. What Hillary has done prior to and during the campaign is relevant because she could have become President and an important juxtaposition when discussing issues with Trump prior to his taking office. If you want to discuss only what Trump has done since January 20th, then Hillary becomes irrelevant.

 

Fantasy? Hardly......

 

If unions can donate to politicians they feel will act on their behalf, why not corporations?

 

Unions fundamentally represent the interests of people (their membership hence, their tax exempt status), corporations represent corporate interests.

 

I know all about the various forms I also know you have no standing to demand the President of my country do anything and that you have no understanding of privacy rights in this country.
But if you do have something to add from your link then post here where it can be discussed in the open forum.

 

The Citizens United ruling protected the Constitutional rights of the citizens to engage in politics and support their causes. The pause would have come had the SCOTUS ruled the other way.

 

Unions represent their own self interest and certainly not the interest of the employees. They are tax exempt becauses they act as 501 non-profits not some specific tax exemption for them. Corporations act in the interest of the citizens who make up the corporation.

 

Total nonsense. You have completely ignored the tax exempt status of unions and why this is so legally. How convenient. Corporations serve the interests of shareholders/ private owners, hence, no tax exempt status and should never have the right to influence politics through vote buying. Make the info public.

 

LOL!!!! and of course not in the interests of their workers who make their profits a reality.

 

Trump addresses Taxes and Russia

 

Wrong and you are showing your ignorance of or laws . Corporations can be tax exempt. Unions are incorporated. A unikn can be tax exempt if it files for 501 tax status and that status is granted. There is NO special union status.
And again unions serve the interest of tbe union not the workers theg represent. They have their own employees and survial as their top interest.

 

Workers are an expense but certainly they have to attract good employees and employees like anykne else can invest in the company and become a partn owner. And of course all the equipment and assets also make those profits a reality.

 

kind of funny in a sad way to see that is all the leftists have to bitch about. take a clue dimocrats, people care a lot more about their own tax returns than Trumps, maybe if you would try and start helping the working people in America instead of sucking up to to the non producers and criminals you party might win an election or two

 

You are either unable to grasp the difference or simply choose not to. I will assume the latter as I hate underestimating anyone.
Educate yourself:

and we were discussing a union vs a for profit corp and the reasons why the tax code is different for the two entities.......you constantly move the goal posts and drape yourself as someone knowledgeable of the constitution which you feebly use as some shield. Carry on with this stupidity.

 

They are tax exempt because they file as 501 tax exempt organizations, there is not a special union tax exemption. And Corporations can be tax exempt too. YOU are the one who has moved the goal post.

A for profit organization can represent interest of people and not be tax exempt.

You haven't a clue about our tax system and again Unions have their own interest above everything else that includes the executives and business managers. That's one reason that the workers here no longer support unions to even a minor degree.

 

They are tax exempt because they file as 501 tax exempt organizations, there is not a special union tax exemption. And Corporations can be tax exempt too. And some non-profits are unionized.
