Build the momentum, Hillary, run like the wind!

Doesn't president Obama have access to all IRS records? I have a feeling that Hiliary and Obama already know the answers but cannot say.

President Obama is as smart as they come and he wouldn't dare take the risk of asking for Trump's IRS records. If he did so and it came out, it would be explosive and not in a good way.

Only the DOJ can get access and they have to have a criminal investigation ongoing in order to request them.

Laws have been put into place since the Nixon years to prevent the executive office from gaining access to IRS records because of Nixon's abuses.

So your feeling is misplaced and wrong.

it sets a dangerous precedent

A man who professes to earn $690 million last year pays nothing in taxes.....

No great mystery who pays the taxes to make up for that.....

Because now that Drumpf has broken precedent by refusing to release his tax records, we can expect future Rethug nominees to do likewise.

Romney, famously, already tested those waters by refusing to release his most recent returns; but this is much worse. The latest one we have from Trump is from '79 - and that's only because, as Hillary pointed out, Trump filed for a casino license back in 1980, and they were required for those permits at the time.

single one of his financial dealings for his whole damned life. the russian connection, the 4,056 lawsuits, everything. I suspect that the russian connection is only ONE illicit dealing.

"It's just business" is just a way of saying commerce is amoral and above common decency

Adam Smith's invisible hand of the market is a theoretical idea that when it becomes dominant in the real world, mutates into the very tangible fist of brutal economic oppression

While classical liberal economics expanded the middle class in the nineteenth century, it is destroying the middle class and the poor in the 21st

The economic paradox of scarcity as it applies to surplus value has now become a real scarcity of resources in the present day. With world population doubling in my lifetime from 3 to 6 billion, it has become apparent to everyone, especially the rich, that you can't be rich if you don't eliminate the middle class

To the rich money is a commodity to be traded not just a repository of value The prime mover of money is to make more money with the smallest expense of personal resources possible

The rich don't need to make their money manufacturing consumer goods for the middle class and the poor The very existence of the super wealthy is based on fulfilling their own desires at the expense of the needs of the rest of humanity

Just kidding. Excellent post!
