The Tax Man.

In the neverending attempt to destroy President Trump, one hope that the Left and the NeverTrumpers on the Right have always held out hope for is to get ahold of his tax returns. Rachel
Madcow of MSNBC pinned his hopes on having received the actual legendary Dead Tax Scrolls one night, and there was nothing there. Trump DID once promise, as the Wikipedia entry above describes, that he would release them, but that he was under audit. Mr. Trump also promised to build a Wall on the Southern Border, but no one seems particularly interested in his failure to fulfill THAT promise, yet they insist that the tax one is the most important thing in the world! They consistently point out that many many Presidents and Presidential candidates have supplied their taxes, and even though there is no requirement that one do so, that the precedent set is such that he MUST also supply his. BUT, unlike all the rest except a couple of third party candidates, Mr. Trump never worked for the American people as a public servant, In fact, he has not taken a paycheck as President. His tax returns are those of a private citizen, and the attempts to get a hold of them should scare ANY American citizen! I get that there are people angry that the Clinton/Bush Cabal is out of Power thanks to Trump, and that many feel hurt and lost, but that is NO reason to relinquish our RIGHTS in order to "get" OrangeMan. In fact, in four more years he will be out of Office, and his wife shows no interest in politics, but any precedent set whereby all candidates will have to have worked ONLY in the public sector or else have his/her privacy violated will remain long after Mr. Trump.
   One problem  that will also remain is that we are a divided country not only in terms of politics, but in terms of who does and who does not pay taxes, or even file returns. Many of the Democrats screaming loudest for President Trump's personal records have no worry that THEIR privacy will ever be at risk, since they either pay no taxes and/or file nbo return, simply living off the Government that they use their vote to maintain and make certain it continues to parent them. There needs to be a change in the country, and I am afraid we are going in the wrong direction, as more candidates promise to take more from taxpayers to give to non taxpayers who promise to vote for them, while other politicians cower in fear, lest the mob come after them.
