What do you expect from Rachel Maddox revealing Trumps tax returns tonight (accuse, supporter)

Isn't it serendipitous that Trump who ignorantly boasted publicly that he hoped Russia would hack Hillary's private information is now embroiled in one controversy after the next with a leaking sieve of his own.

We haven't seen a flop like this since Geraldo found nothing in Al Capone's vault.

4%. He paid 4% in federal income tax. Yeah, sure, that's fair.

Were you as concerned about the taxes the wealthy pay before Trump was elected president?


How about when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House back in 2009-10 and refused to raise taxes on their wealthy donors?


Was that a major issue then?

It is a federal offense punishable to 5 years in the federal prison, to publish or release someone elses tax returns without their permission. PERIOD.
You saying she didn't do it last night? Maybe you were never born.

Trump threatened the NYT with a lawsuit after they published excepts from one of his returns. What ever became of that?

Obama signs bill to extend Bush-era tax cuts for two more years

Obama signs bill to extend Bush-era tax cuts for two more years

For most taxpayers, Obama’s permanent accomplishments on tax policy have been a continuation of the framework outlined by Bush and implemented by Congress in 2001, 2003 and 2006.

Obama signed a law extending all of the Bush tax cuts for two years in 2010 and almost all of them indefinitely in 2013. The big features of Bush’s plans -- the 10 percent tax bracket, across-the-board rate cuts, more generous estate-tax exemptions and equal standard deductions for married couples and two individuals -- are now locked into U.S. law.
