As conservatives continually point out that they are not necessarily Republican (you have your RINOs), is it that hard to accept that not all liberals are enamored of the Dems? There is no question that the national Democratic party has lost touch with working folks. And us 'airheads' do understand that the rich of both parties hide all the assets they can under our current tax system. As for the fair share ....follow the money and tax it all equally. If 10% have 90% of the income, I don't see it as unfair for them to pay 90% of the taxes. (I'm using hypothetical numbers....just to make the point).

That's why I said I'm not optimistic that the coming reform of the tax system will help working folks at all....they have no income to hide in tax shelters.

While it is interesting that Trump paid that much, it is not as interesting as how did Madcow get the tax return? There has to be illegality involved somewhere and Madcow should be getting arrested for possessing stolen goods at the least. If Trump wants to kill a swamp critter he would do well to pursue this with the IRS as well as Madcow.

It is amazing that there was a solid wall of non-cooperation, on all sides, in obtaining any documents pertinent to Obama but the government is porous as a sieve when it comes to Trump.

My point being that the Democrats are NOT the "party of the working man." There are more Democrat than Republican millionaires in Congress. In 2012, the evil corporations that supposedly own the Republicans donated more to Democrats than to Republicans, and Wall Street donated more to Obama's campaign than any presidential race in history. Most of the tax shelters "the rich" used back in the halcyon days that Liberals prate about, when the tax rate was 90% on "the rich," were put in place by Democrats. These airheads don't realize that the truly rich have most of their money in tax shelters anyway. Most of their income is not legally taxable. If you have $1000, and $990 is in a tax shelter, who gives a damn if you tax the last ten bucks at 90%?
If Democrats are so concerned about the middle class, why did it continue to shrink under 8 years of Obama?
We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world right now, and "the rich" pay a little over 75% of the income taxes while 50% of the population pays none at all. Exactly what the hell is their fair share?"
