This story
intensifies the speculation of why Trump refuses to release his tax returns—as
every presidential candidate has since the 1970s. It's a question Senator
Elizabeth Warren zeroed in on in a mega-hit viral video she released with
MoveOn, which already has over 26 million views.
Undecided voters
in North Carolina "gasped" when they heard Trump boast in last
Monday's debate that not paying federal taxes would make him
"smart."2 Most people understand
that paying federal taxes—and, through them, paying for our nation's
infrastructure—is our responsibility as Americans.
This new
revelation from The Times could shift the usually high number of
undecided voters this close to the election—if we hammer home this message now.
Here's the truth:
there is nothing smart about refusing to pay your fair share along with
hundreds of millions of working people, many of whom are struggling to get by
on stagnant wages because of policies supported by Donald Trump and his
Republican Party.
We're gearing up
to expose Trump in key swing states as the dishonest, deceitful, apparent tax
dodger he is. Can we count on you to chip in $2.70 now?
Your contribution
will also support our massive field operation in the battleground states. We
have more than 100 organizers teaming up with tens of thousands of volunteers
to knock on more than one million targeted doors in swing states to persuade
undecided voters and make sure that no progressive stays home on Election Day.
We’ll be spreading
critical talking points on Trump’s attitude and record on taxes, along with new
materials to ensure the voters we talk to know that the Republican presidential
candidate may not have paid any income taxes for 18 years—and maybe more.
Let’s be clear: If you and I avoided our taxes
for 18 years, we’d be going to prison—but Donald Trump may have gotten away
with it year after year. The least we can do then is make sure he’s never
elected president.
