    It seems that for Democrats, being a tax cheat is practically a requirement.
    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      Anyone with a bottom line income of over $500,000, most being a tax cheat and manipulator, and that would include every member associated with the Trump Administration, except everyone in his administration or associated with his administration is with income well over millions of dollars along with the majority of sex scandals in history.

          Yeah, because the only way to succeed in the U.S. is by cheating

            Sad but true!

            So when is Trump going to release his Tax Returns to demonstrate his business ethics?

              He's not because he doesn't want to admit his businesses have been running at a loss for the last decade, and doesn't want to admit he had to stoop to money-laundering for Russian mobsters in order to keep himself afloat.

                  Does someone not immediately acquiescing to your demands actually cause you physical pain or is it all just emotional?
                  Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

                    And yet I know several people who became multi-millionaires through hard work and perseverance. They started businesses where they worked 70 hours a week and sometimes more for several years. A few had gone to school for several years first scraping by during that time while their friends were out partying. They forwent vacations, buying big screen TVs, new cars, going to fancy dinners and the like, instead saving their money and putting it back into their businesses. They weren't cheating people but rather providing employment to others as their businesses expanded.

                    And then you have some turd come along and smugly tell them that they didn't build their business and they need to "give back" something that they never took.

                    This is the mentality that too many liberals have. If you're successful the only way you could have done it is by lying and cheating which then justifies their doing so in order to make money like Hillary did in her infamous cattle futures trading.

                      Boy did the whole tax return thing explode in Rachel Maddow's face. All she was able to show was that Trump paid a much higher rate of income tax than folks like Obama and other liberal icons (many of who while demanding that taxes be raised weren't paying them).

                        again, all of Trump's holdings and business dealings are available in his financial disclosure: https://assets.documentcloud.org/doc...Disclosure.pdf

                        Start digging.

                          A question for you, was this compiled by a disinterested third party group, or by Trump himself?

                            It is a required filing for all Presidential candidates. It was probably put together and filed by his lawyers and financial people.

                              Trump's financial disclosure statement ("the largest in the history of the FEC"!) is public record:

                              http://online.wsj.com/public/resourc...re20150722.pdf

                              Have at it, kiddo. Maybe you'll find something that CNN, The New York Times, and Politico all missed in their one-day coverage of this wholly noncontroversial story.

                                Since it's a matter of public record, and since there are many, many people who would have loved to knock Trump out of the running by revealing that he failed to disclose legally required financial information, and since we know people have been poring over this thing for over a year looking for the "silver bullet", I think it's safe to say that the document is solid.
