And how about making them wear patches of all their campaign contributors?

He's one who is leaving....now, if only Mitch McConnell would
skedaddle off to retirement. I don't care who they are—I'd vote a two
term limit in the Senate in a heartbeat.

What hurt Romney regarding his taxes, more than being slow to release
them, was Dirty Harry"s lie that Romney had not paid his taxes in ten
years.
Last year when Harry Reid was asked about that lie , he said *Well, he
didn't get elected.*
I guess to him the end justifies the means.

Ha. He'll never disclose his returns. He ain't who he says he is,
that much is for certain. Voters would be very interested in reading
them, I'm sure.
In an interview with the Associated Press, presumptive Republican
nominee Donald Trump revealed that he will not release any of his tax
returns
<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/11/ap-interview-donald-trump-says-hes-narrowed-vp-shortlist.html> before
election day.
Previously, Trump blamed an ongoing audit for his failure to release
returns, an excuse that was questioned by tax experts
<http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-02-27/trump-excuse-for-not-releasing-tax-returns-puzzles-experts>.
As recently as Sunday, Trump pledged to release the returns “as fast
as the auditors finish
<http://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/08/reuters-america-update-2-trump-changes-tune-on-tax-hikes-for-wealthy-americans.html>.”
Last October, Trump said he would release his tax returns once Hillary
Clinton released her emails
<http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-donald-trump/story?id=34187405>.
Now, Trump adds that he’s not planning to release them because
“there’s nothing to learn from them
<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/11/ap-interview-donald-trump-says-hes-narrowed-vp-shortlist.html>”
and voters aren’t interested in the information.
The announcement is a sharp break from historical precedent. Although
the number of years for which they’ve released tax returns vary, every
party nominee since 1976 has released some. Fifteen years of Hillary
Clinton’s tax returnsare available online
<http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.nsf/web/presidentialtaxreturns>.
In January 2012, Trump told Greta Van Sustren that Romney “was hurt
really very badly
<http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2012/01/19/trump-gop-stop-playing-president-obamas-hands/>”
by his initial refusal to release his tax returns. He advised Romney
to “release them now.”

If he's done anything illegal in regards to his tax returns, it is up
to the IRS to prosecute him. If he hasn't done anything illegal,
technically, it's none of anybody's business. But not to worry, the
Washington Post has twenty full time people assigned to dig up dirt
and that's just the W.P. And of course Hillary has The New York Times
to cover her every mistake. Should be an easy victory ofr Hillary...
you'd think.

Yeah, to simplistically compare Venezuela's situation to the calls By
Bernie Sanders to equalize the income in the US is suspicious at best.
Venezuela has a single component economy, oil. Naturally with the oil
markets in flux due to capitalist manipulation, the Venezuelan economy
has suffered greatly.
The only solution in the US is to break up the big banks, and create a
structure where the 90 percent now reserved for the ultra wealthy will
be redistributed to the 90 percent who need it, with taxes to match.
Let's reward a hard day's work with a decent wage. Even if Clinton
somehow wins the election, this issue will only grow stronger. It is
unstoppable. With the advent of instantaneous and pervasive
communication, the days of those who have increased their wealth on
the backs of the middle class are coming to an end. 40 years with no
increase in income is more than enough.
For decades the unprincipled capitalists have been playing a game with
the American workers - How far can the golden goose be exploited and
still lay the golden eggs, while starving? The wealthy now have their
answer. The goose is dead, and the people want their country back. We
continue to be a country of unimaginable wealth and resources. People
have figured out that the crumbs under the table, are just that. Fuck
the greedy bastards.
Yes, but do you not find it the height of irony that it is Donald
Trump who is promising the peasants a change of fortune on his watch?
He will never come down from his rococo towers willingly. I wonder if
we will ever get to see his tax returns. I predict he will never make
them public, and I think he needs to disclose at least 5 year's worth,
because he certainly won't do it before the election and after the
election he will not be President so many of his dirty little secrets
will never come to the light of day.
