What is it with Some Rich People?
"We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."
Leona Helmsley, 1989
Remember her?
Trump: 'I'm smart' for not paying taxes
Donald Trump, 2016
The guy who loves the troops, and wants to Make America Great Again, doesn't put up any of his own money to do it.
That's up to suckers like you and me.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: What is it with Some Rich People?
Hey, he said it about not paying any taxes: "I'm smart".
That implies those of us who do pay taxes, you know . . . the majority of us, are stupid.
The question is: are we collectively stupid enough to elect a sideshow barker as our president?
God . . . I hope not.

He made it this far. That in itself is telling.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Re: What is it with Some Rich People?
THAT was not a good comeback obviously. People get upset all the time about corporations that pay little or no taxes and yet make billions. The Don is no different.
There ARE reasons his tax returns will not come out. This is but one of them.

Re: What is it with Some Rich People?
We are never going to see those tax returns, because there are things in there that he doesn't want the People to see.
Illegal activity, conflicts of interest with other powers?
Maybe he gives nothing to charity?
Maybe he isn't that rich?
Maybe he pays little to no taxes?
We will never know.
But, his refusal to release these returns is disqualifying in my opinion.
