Does Donald Trump pay taxes?

[Avant Guardian]

Is that why he refuses to release his tax returns?
Show me the returns, Donald.

1. It's time to start up the "1040ers" brigade!!

2. Trump and Ryan are the best thing to happen to the Democratic

Party!! They are revealing their souls. The tea partiers are total jerks stuck in a never, never land; who pays for the Bush wars that millions of protestors said were Vietnam all over again and totally unnecessary; the health care for the poor that end up in emergency rooms at ungodly expense to the States, Ugh.

Oops, way off subject, but, Trump claims he personally never filed for Bkcy. Right, only his business's with his name plastered all over them. Someone should talk to the stockholders or whoever that loaned him $$ and got screwed when they were not paid, as a chapter 11 or l3 (?) saved his ass. He insults the intelligence of the average person. He will never show His tax returns.

3. No I don't think that is the reason

IMO he is afraid to release the tax returns because he doesn't want anyone to know what a fraud he is. He has pissed away billions of dollars of the family fortune and although he is still super wealthy, he's nowhere near the fabulously rich tycoon he wants us all to believe he is. If we saw the returns we'd probably find out his only income is from his crappy TV show. I'm sure that the banks own most of his hotels, casinos, and resorts.

5. He told Stephanopoulos that he'd release his tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate,

but now:

"Donald Trump isn't exactly rushing to keep his end of the bargain and release his tax returns now that President Barack Obama has anted up with a birth certificate.

Trump said Wednesday evening that he'll disclose them "at the appropriate time," but implied that may not be until — and if — he eventually launches a White House campaign. "As you know, if I announce , I will have to release very detailed information about my wealth," Trump said on CNN.

The real estate mogul had previously said he'd make his tax returns public when Obama released his birth certificate, which Obama did Wednesday morning. Throughout a day of public appearances in New Hampshire, Trump dodged questions about whether he'd stick to his word — at one point responding to a jab from Robert Gibbs that he do so by saying "Gibbs is a loser."

"I don't pay taxes, sane people pay taxes."
