Trumped

I couldn't care less about his tax returns.  Can we talk about the stuff that actually matters please?  Like increased troops in the Middle East or ACA replacement or his upcoming budget?  These are things that are actually going to impact our lives.

a tiny number of uber rich people being allowed to report an infinitesimal amount of their earnings and pay 25% on it compared to me reporting all of my earning and paying 25% on it. 

yeah, that has an impact on my life. 

it has a much greater impact on millions of Americans who aren't as rich as me. 

your ignorance of that doesn't make it not "actually" matter, and you sound truly silly acting as though it has nothing to do with a budget proposal. 

For the people that are so concerned about the returns they probably shouldn't vote for him in 2020.

Can you make one post without including some kind of insult?  Good grief.  

Can you explain how, in any way, seeing his tax returns impacts your life?  Do you believe for one second that the office of president will ever negatively impact the "uber rich" as you call them?  For me, this is all glitter and glitz and is perfect for the Donald because folks keep focusing on stuff that doesn't matter.

Oooooh Sick Burn, Maddow!

 

[mtangelsfan]

OMG, my life has been impacted!

Yeah, not sure why she made such a big deal about the tax returns, especially without any of the supporting schedules.

The publicity before the show vs. what was actually revealed was rather "Al Capone's Vault"-y.

If the president has conflicts of interest, and is making decisions based on what is best for him and businesses and not for the country as a whole, than yes...it does impact you.

[Adam]

Every president has made decisions that are best for him/his financiers. 

[mtangelsfan]

number 82 of things that may impact my life that Trump could effect.  Most every politician have forces that push them toward making certain decisions.  It's definitely wrong in every sense of the word but it is our political system, corrupt.  I'd rather joust with enemies that I can actually face vs. jousting with windmills.

Pretty funny about MSNBC and the tax returns.

Didn't they look at the tax return before they put it on TV?

They must have been certain that something bad was in there so they just went with it.

I disagree.  I am more worried about people who pay no taxes than I worry about people paying the same percentage.  The ones paying zero are the ones that are causing you to pay what you pay.

If you were trying to damage Trump and had copies of his tax returns...you certainly wouldn't have released two pages from 2005 that are pretty non-descript...it's almost as if someone was trying to change the subject from the giant turd sitting in the punchbowl that is Republicare. Sparkly shiny object.

 

And for the 3,439th consecutive time it worked.

Think of how many levels of incompetence was needed to actually get this read out on the air. I believe the news lady stops after saying Ho Lee Fuk. How does someone actually type this out?

and duh about his tax return.

tax code is written for the uber rich by the uber rich. they've bought lobbyists and congressmen and senators to keep it like that for 200 years. now they have one of their own in the oval, so they can just skip all of that inconvenience. 

in other news, fire still hot, water still wet, more at 11:00

They have almost always had one of their own or owned in the oval office. I think the last truly independent was Truman and he was a president of chance. Quit acting like this is something new.

If you really feel that way then you shouldn't be concerned about what is actually going on and just accept your punishment. Stoically.
