Trump taxes 2.0 New York Style
NY Dems try bill of attainder against Trump.
By: Scott D. Cosenza, Esq. | April 09, 2019
Democrats from New York are trying to pass a new state law to try and gain access to President Trump’s tax returns. Is this an inspired hunt for evidence of criminality or a simply another avenue of attack and distraction?
The Empire State has three million people living in poverty. They just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory after losing Amazon’s HQ2’s with its promise of adding 25,000 high paying jobs + the 27-billion-dollar economic benefit to the state because of anti-capitalist politicians. New York City’s subway, responsible for the daily transportation needs of millions of people is crumbling under the weight of Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo’s incompetence and corruption. In the face of these mounting disasters, Cuomo and his fellow Democrat legislators have chosen to help their constituents by addressing none of these problems. Instead, they are using their powers to invade Trump’s financial privacy for political gain.
The New York Times reports:
Under a bill that is scheduled to be introduced this week, the commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance would be permitted to release any state tax return requested by leaders of three congressional committees for any “specific and legitimate legislative purpose.â€
