here’s the deal, and this is coming from a Cruzer. I would not be surprised Trump tax rate is zero.

He’s involved in RE and that includes tons of write-offs.

RE is the best tax aversion game going, it’s been that way for yrs.

The newspaper's conservative-leaning editorial board wrote Friday that Trump must prove he is as successful in the business world as he says he is.

The beat goes on. The WSJ is pro-open borders and amnesty. They want to flood this country with foreign workers. Is it any wonder they team up with NBC to conduct bogus polls?

The WSJ wants to cut our throats with endless third world immigration. They are scumbags who have no allegiance to the USA.

WSJ is just taunting Trump. I hope he doesn’t take the bait. Comparing him to Mitt ought to get Donald’s antennae a tingling-don’t go there.

Remember when the WSJ demanded Obama’s tax returns?

Me neither.

Can anyone say Trump is dodging the release of his tax returns?

Doesn't Cruz have some of this immigration records sealed?

He filed his financial statements. They used the same attacks on Romney. Harry Reid claimed that Romney didn’t pay any taxes.

He released what he is supposed to, and this call for it the day before the election is supposed to plant a suspicion in the minds of the voter that Trump is withholding information that he should have released.

Has anyone released their taxes?

Even if they have, this isn’t something you call for out of the blue the evening before the election.

These folk are absolutely shaking in their boots, and desperate as can be.

This coupled with the bogus polls? The WSJ is just a cheap propaganda machine now.

Trump already released a financial net worth statement, months ago.

Trump say his returns are complicated and are being worked on. That’s probably a rare understatement! with an income of $400 million, he probably has a team of accountants working full time.

Now the WSJ and Harry Reid are indistinguishable.

Now Hillary and Donald are indistinguishable.

She and he both don't like releasing records apparently.

you can get an extension until Oct 15, which I bet Trump usually does. We did the years we had businesses - better to wait than have to file an amended return later.

Hillary’s records are wanted by the FBI and other law enforcement types.

Trump’s are wanted by private sector political enemies.

I don’t think that needs further exposition.

What Trump is worth won’t be on a tax return, only his annual income.

Evidently so.

I used to have some respect for Murdock, even though he wasn’t one of us overseas. He did run FoxNews for a profit, and we were his favorite folks in the U. S.

Now he has forsaken that. I will do my best to avoid anything he has something to do with from here on out.
