Everyone wishes to see Trump's tax return, but you do not insist on seeing Clinton's foundation tax return or even consider the fact that they are being investigated by the IRS for tax fraud. I also don't hear you demanding to see her speeches that were worth hundreds of thousands that she got paid for giving them to Wall St. Could it be that you are embarrassed that she is in bed with Wall St, while you welcome the miscreants of the Occupy Wall Street? How much money does she take from them in campaign funding? How much did she get from Foreign donations, including from socialist Soros? And why don't you insist on seeing her emails?

Actually, it is none of anyone's business what is on Trump's tax return. Just because others before him have released them, does not make it mandatory for him to release his. I do not care what has been going on for the past 50 years, just on the basis of "just because."

And regarding anyone paying their fair share of taxes, I am very disappointed in those that seem to think that achievers should be penalized by making them pay more than anyone else. That is just against the American way of doing things. That is discrimination. The wealthy are already paying the light bills in D.C. The middle class pay some tax, but don't even compare with what the rich pay. Percentage means nothing on individual taxes, compared to overall tax contributions by the wealthy. EVERYONE should pay taxes at the same rate, INCLUDING the poor. The poor pay sales taxes and property taxes don't they? So why not income taxes? Maybe it would be an incentive/motivation for them to better themselves. If you want fair taxation for everyone, then a federal sales tax would take the place of income tax. Otherwise, everyone has to pay the same percentage, including the poor, middle class and wealthy.

Today, any family of four making $50K or less pays NO income taxes. Some folks get money back and they didn't even pay any income taxes.

But, we will not see the Democrats increase the taxes on the lower earners(?). Not until their so-called "progressive" socialism eats away at our structure to the point where even with high tax rates for the wealthy and then the middle class are still not enough to pay for all the gov services provided. Then, just like every other socialist country, EVERYONE will have to pay up. And then goodbye American Dream, say hello to Venezuela and Greece.

The Democratic party of my father is gone and now we have the socialist party hiding under the guise of the Democrat party. I saw it happening decades ago and changed affiliation.
