2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)So just WHY did the MittTwit refuse to release those elusive tax records??? PLEASE RESPOND. [View all]
We never did see the tax returns. WHY?? As I understand it, it was most likely to HIDE the overseas investments from scrutiny and to HIDE the exact rates he paid in given years because they were so much lower than what the average middle class person pays. Is there anymore particular insight into this I may have missed? THANKS.
