True, but if we are going to"sniff" all rich people, and take them to court, then GWB, Jeb, Sheldon Adelson,etc. would be in jail.

As for Romney, it takes one to know one.

Something like, "he only paid 8%" because of deductions....although completely legal. (for example)
This is something Romney fretted about. He always had to try to hide his wealth or apologize for it. Trump would say if you elect me I'll tell you too how to pay 8% tax.

I find it fascinating that one Republican who is not even running is attempt to sabotage the campaign of another. Party unity is on display.

Even if its not something illegal, Trump is hiding something. Making less than he brags about, not donating to all the causes he claims to etc...If he has nothing to hide, why not release it?

LOL, oh please.


Romney should be ashamed of himself, given that he was the subject of Harry Reid's ourtright lies last time around.




And I loved Romney's scattershot: we might find Trump's not paying much in taxes (shouldn't everyone try to pay as little as possible?), or he's not worth as much as he claims he's worth, or he doesn't give to charities, or he doesn't give to the right charities.....

He has not made a big deal out of his charitable givings. Sorry, another misfire.

You cannot make assertions about documents you haven't seen yourself. All we know up to now is that Trump's campaign doesn't want to release those tax returns yet.
YOU are the one making assertions about documents that you havent seen, and given that NO IRS document requires disclosure of assets, you are just making things up.

I'm not tryign to impress you, I dont give a rats ass about your impression of me.. I care about FACTS, something you dont seem too concerned with.

I'm not afraid of my tax returns and more than once I've been asked to turn in a copy. I takes me seconds to access that folder in my computer. Why would the president of the United States be afraid of providing that information to the public that is going to elect him? If he is gonna tell me I have to pay income tax that's gonna pay his salary, he better show me his tax returns. We employe him and we better know who we are hiring.

I'm surprised you trust the IRS and your president so much you want to keep all that information between themselves.
Wrong.. People like Hillary put their income into other entities like the Clinton Foundation and then claim they are off limits..

Thats NOT transparent. LYING and diverting your income, isnt honest, even if you believe it is..

I couldn't care less about his charitables. I'd like to know how much he's in debt to the Big Banks who he'll be on his knees for*.

LaToya Jackson, Bret Michaels, and former Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick were in the boardroom, presenting their arguments as to why they shouldn’t be fired to the brainless triumvirate of Donald Trump,Ivanka Trump and Piers Morgan. Bret explains to his eventual executioners that, at one point, Brande "got down on her knees and passionately said, ‘I want to do this.'" The innuendo was too thick for a goon like Donald Trump to let the statement simply slide.

"Excuse me, you DROPPED to your knees?", Trump directs towards Brande.

"Yes," Brande responds.

It’s at this point that you can see the wheels of Trump’s dirty mind turning, verrrrrrry slowly yet very surely. A full six seconds, which is an ETERNITY of time in the rapid-paced world of reality television editing, expire before Trump responds, "It must be a pretty picture. You dropping to your knees."

You mean the very banks Obama needed to fund the trillion dollar deficits?
