Is Trump Staking Out the Tax Return Fraidy Cat Position? (Mitt Romney Is the Bigger Hypocrite Here.)

It's hilarious when the last GOP presidential candidate and the first to fudge his tax-return releases becomes the spokesmodel for condemning Trump's refusal to release his. This IS reality TV, isn't it? (Survivor: Tax Return Island)

Losers should hang out together more often.

This story can write itself, but here's a little help. Romney here and Trump here.

Of course, now we'll get to hear a bunch of GOPers demanding Hillary release the transcripts to her speeches to private groups. Apples and oranges, but we'll hear it and probably more.

"I'll release my tax returns when Hillary releases the last ten years of MasterCard records!"

Sniveling cowards. The GOP has invented a new form of stupid, relying on their base to not care. But in the general? Right. Stupid.

My General Principles

1. Civilized societies require the rule of law.
2. Science is my preferred method for examining and understanding reality.
3. Religion is superstition.
4. An educated society is a healthy society.
5. Democratic governments are by their very nature socialist.
6. Market economies are by their very nature capitalist.
7. Markets are not (entirely) efficient or rational and thus require regulation.
8. Don’t confuse politics with public policy.
9. Civil discourse requires rational argument, even if yelling or stomping your feet or name-calling is more fun.
10. If you consider making stuff up a viable tactic, you are disallowed from civil discourse.
11. Puritanism is America’s original sin.
12. Income redistribution is good for society, hoarding is not.
13. Everybody, from time to time, needs help.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
