if it's just "His Rich!" his political team needs to be sacked.

Responses:

One theory is that he's much richer than he's let on and the vast amount of it is overseas and he doesn't pay taxes on it. Not $250 million rich, but - jnine Aug 1, 10:05 13
- but surely overseas stuff wouldn't show up on this taxes? I thought that was the point. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 10:11 4
  - The returns he already released showed some type of information that allowed people to calculate how much money he was earning overseas from investmen - jnine Aug 1, 10:18
  - Legally, you're taxed on all of your worldwide income as a US citizen. That's the issue with Swiss banking accounts. - spamlet Aug 1, 10:17 1
    - Maybe he was part of the settlement in 2009 for earlier years and undeclared bank accounts. That's another possibility. - spamlet Aug 1, 10:19
  - yeah, this is my question. spam?? -- nm - Huan Van de Camp-Jiminez Aug 1, 10:12
- I think it could be something as simple as him being under pressure from his rich friends to not release them because - con_carne Aug 1, 10:09
- Ok, tax dodgy aside an extra zero would also be hugely damaging. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 10:09
- If he's not hiding shady behavior, he's a moron for not releasing them. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 10:09 5
  - unless there's an extra zero in there somewhere... - Mel Profit Aug 1, 10:10 4
    - Exactly. So he's a billionaire instead of millionaire. So long as he's paying his taxes, it changes nothing in his narrative. - musubi Aug 1, 10:13
    - the fun part is that until he reveals it, we can make up more and more outlandish reasons. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 10:13 2
      - You mean like the deuctions he's taking for his 10 other children from his 3 other sister wives? -- nm - jnine Aug 1, 10:26
      - I think that was Reid's purpose. - Mel Profit Aug 1, 10:16
