Donald Trump should show us his taxes.
Why do I care?
As someone who just actually learned how to pay my taxes this year (and registered myself as an employer, woo), I can say that I am officially accountable to myself as well as the government. I expect the President to have the same accountability to the people.
It’s about more than taxes; it’s about transparency, and a knowledge of where our leaders have assets and where and how they are generating income. Why do we care about that? Because we deserve to know how decisions from diplomacy to pipelines to prisons to the catering company for a political brunch are personally benefiting our leaders.
If you’ve been following any news, you also know that these taxes may also hold the keys to innumerable secrets and probable illegal dealings or tax fraud. Why else hide them? If he didn’t want to be held to this high a standard of accountability, maybe he shouldn’t have run for public office.
So many great signs at this march!
Science March next week
I was feeling cheeky. The other side simply said “$how us your taxe$”.
Ah crap. Let me try a second time…
Shit, apparently this picture does not want to be posted. Anyway, it was bright pink and said “I hear Florida is nice this time of year”…
Yep, clearly a bunch of well-paid protesters…
Do I dare make a sign for the St. Louis MO Science March “Trump cuts science research funding – he’s eating the seed corn!” Does that make sense to all you Bicoastal city slickers?
