In my limited experience with wealthy people's tax returns, most of them don't understand the returns and merely grumble about how much tax they have to pay, or how much the preparer charged.

    I imagine he has some carried gains in there for management fees, and he might have some assets stored offshore in Bermuda which have not been repatriated yet. I imagine we might see some AMT as well. Unless he has been preparing for this well I wager his charitable contributions are not high in percentage to his income. Do you think there will be some 409 issues as well?
    His returns, like Romney's last cycle, will provide lots of ammunition for attacks, whether or not the basis for the attacks are sound.

      Gotcha. IOW, just because they have complex tax reporting issues, people will find something to argue about or to complain about.

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            • This author debunks the notion that Trump can't win because the crazy vote has topped out.

                That reminds me of a link I saw yesterday. It was captioned "Who Said It: Presidential Hopeful Donald Trump or 'Idiocracy' President Camacho?"

                  I was still holding out hope for anyone but Trump with my not so bold prediction above. But it's over, at least for Rubio. Trump leads him by 16 points in Florida:

                  At some point, Rubio needs to win something. If he can't win his own state, he is toast. Trump is going to be the nominee.

                  Make the pledge: send the GOP a clear message and vote for Hillary!

                      Bloomberg is ostensibly a republican. A vote for him is nowhere near the protest vote as is one for Hillary. The GOP needs radical reform. Let's get it done quickly.

                        but that would require voting for Hillary

                        • The Quinnipiac poll of Florida came out today and Trump is up by 16 over Rubio, 44-28.

                          It's over for Rubio. Even if everyone else dropped out, Trump isn't going to simply stay at 44%, he's going at least to the mid 50s. Fat Bastard and Bush needed to have dropped out earlier instead of just trying to drag down Rubio. Now a lot of voters feel that Trump is inevitable and they've resigned themselves to it.
                          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            I see your dilemma. Think of it this way: the Bush legacy is done. Let's get the Clinton one over with also.

                              time for romney to go independent. Worst case scenario is hillary, which is better than trump.

                                or Cruz! I am not sure who is worse.
