The reason for the tax-returns to be opened: GOPe’s inquiring minds want to know TRUMP’S net worth.

Can you even determine a persons net worth from a tax return?

I know mine would tell you almost nothing about my net worth ... but it would tell you how much I made last year.

He is loaning his campaign money, not actually funding it. He will be paid back from the individual donations coming in. Up to $10-million in donations now? Plus, he is getting tens of millions of television time provided free by the news networks broadcasting his campaign events. This ego trip he is taking you all on is costing him little if any.

It’s either that, or Trump had a low effective tax rate (Mittster’s was 14% in the 2012 race).

The whole enterprise being to embarrass Trump.

The mafia thing was a red herring from the start — you’d never see that in the tax return. And Ted Cruz is smart enough to know that.

Sorry to see Ted Cruz stooping this low. Instead, he should be defending the right of people “to be secure in their person, papers, and effects.”

It is very relevant.

People, who go out of their way to hate Trump like you probably have a vested interest in cheap foreign labor or illegals.

RE: You are a card carrying 2016 Zombies for Cruz.

I am a SUPPORTER of Ted Cruz because I believe he is the better alternative. PERIOD.

Is that wrong?

And yes, if you want to post articles showing the wrong things Ted Cruz did in the past, YOU ARE WELCOME.

I am not a supporter to the extent that I will say he does nothing wrong.

And one more thing — I find it against the rules to attack a fellow FReeper. So, I won’t stoop to your level by going personal.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING because I said there were many good points made in the comment section?

Do I need to copy and paste their points to make it easy for the lazy?

I have enough respect for freepers to click on the comments section and read it for themselves.

You’re quite right. The only thing totally in my name right now is my car and it’s been that way for a long time. I’m 72.

I am an IT consultant who work for myself.

How can you ever work when you're here 24/7 posting this kind of crap?

Amazing...

THIS is news? Yet there is another candidate who is being INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI for MULTIPLE FELONIES... who has a trail of DEAD ex-employees....

And yet, let’s all worry about just HOW rich Trump may or may not be... now, THAT’S a scandal!!!

I just did. But as usual you want to throw the punches and whine when you get punched back.

Grow up. If you want to be a campaign attack dog, expect to get kicked by the other campaigns.

RE: Hate Trump Always squad please. If you must post your daily dose of Trump Hate,

Questioning things about Trump DOES NOT EQUATE to hate.

Questioning is SOLICITING RESPONSES and DEFENSE if the allegations are untrue, especially reasonable ones.

Let’s dispense with the “hate” stuff. If I hated him, I would not even vote for him in the general if he ran against Hillary.

But I will.
