    It's a good time to take a beat up 401k and do a Roth Conversion if your stocks are really beaten down. Then you'll only pay taxes on the much lower current prices, and your Roth will be tax free.

      The uncertainties that come with this current market are yet another reason why my daily investment decisions are guided by my investment advisor; "JILL MARIE CARROLL" as HER entire skill set is built around being long and short at the same time, using both a profit-driven strategy and removing risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, coupled with proprietary insights/analysis, it is utterly impossible not to outperform. Brought in over $1.5 million in ROI, since using my investment advisor for about 2 years.

      No because the majority of us are adults that understand how DC works, i.e lobbyists, quid pro quo , insider trading. And the simple fact that when you get into office you get to bring along your rich buddies which will in return give you a cushy job on your way out.
      The majority of us understand we need to get money out of politics and that free speech doesn’t equal 💰, and money 💰 doesn’t equal free speech. Support a amendment to actually drain the swamp , instead of just giving Trump the old dutch rudder and him pretending to be on your side. Whilst only enriching himself and his closes family/friends.
      The one thing trump has done of good, is illustrate ( comically so) how broken our government is. And the IRS hasn’t finished his audit 😹😹. I’m sure I’ll get a letter from the IRS about the pair of sneakers I sold and never paid taxes on Facebook ….

The lying only made him seem more suspicious and eager to conceal something other Presidents have been forthcoming about. He also insulted many peoples’ intelligence by saying we wouldn’t understand such a long and involved tax return, as if he’s the only one who has complicated tax returns. If he had simply released it, it would’ve been more transparent.

If this turns out to be true it is clearly fraud.
      Moreover, his tax returns do not really bear out his claims of being a billionaire. This guy was bragging to be worth 10 billion but is losing 10s of millions each year and relies of donations to finance his campaigns and his personal legal battles.

      Umm, there is are a couple of books out about how the wealthy avoid paying taxes, legally. You should read them. The tax reform bill that was passed while Trump was president was lambasted by Warren Buffet and former president Obama, not of any value to middle income or poor people. Obama specifically said that he would end up being taxed at a 12% tax rate, while a person making $20k would be taxed at a 20% rate. On more than one occasion Mr. Buffet has said it is his secretary's fault for not being able to take advantage of tax loopholes. The IRS is right now being sued because a reporter got their tax info and showed that they paid their taxes but Jeff Bezos paid zero in income tax, because he did not get paid to work. Essentially Jeff Bezos ran a multi billion dollar company for free and earned no money. If you don't get paid, you will not have to pay taxes either. While it is not fair, it is the law.

      It's not so much about it being illegal. It's about it being more if his lies. He said he would release them during the first election then never did. He lied about how rich he is. All this is about us proving how his supporters don't care they got duped and will continue to support him no matter what.

    Every president's tax was public since it became mandatory but
    Trump and Republican party shield for years.

    It should be required that a Presidential candidate for the United States release his taxes before he can run for office.

    Why were they made public though? I understand why certain officials may need the tax returns to investigate a crime, but why is the information being made public?

      I'm not sure of your point. Perhaps you have none to make and are just frustrated. Oh well.
