Why do people care about his tax records, whether he paid 15% or 50%, what is it going to affect american. What will affect us is the policy and what he has not delivery his promises.

Because his tax records give an indication of what he believes is right and wrong. How his policies will affect citizens and whether or not he is a cheater.

well, i don't care about how much he had paid in - his taxes are more than what i make in a year anyways... i just don't like his business approach to the government - the government is not about squeezing profits, making products for cheap in China and sell at US prices - it is about public service, which is not a profitable endeavour... doing research, doing space programs, protecting wildlife, forrests, oceans, enforcing the laws, defending the couontry... I realize that in the process of doing some of thesse things someone can get really rich... and it seems that Mitt knows that as well... and his rich friends know it too - otherwise, why would they spend millions individually trying to put him at the helm?... majority of Obama's money come from $5 - $200 donations... I don't expect a defense contract in return for my $5 donation!!! lol...

If you go back just 4 years ago or so, and listen to the interviews he gave on NPR he was distainful of politicians in general and of the republicans in specific. This combind with the reasonable character he was displaying on his show (again 4 years ago - I have not seen it lately) made me think he was more reasonable and level headed than I thought. Maybe he even had some admirable traits.

When Trump started inserting himself into this years politics, at first I just thought it was a publicity whore thing; 'cause that's one of the things Trump is. But as time has gone by and he has not let go of this particular bone I have started to think that either he is still smarting from the drubbing he took at and since the press corp dinner and is seeking revenge, or the cheese is starting to slide off his cracker.

trump has so much money overseas that he could not run for president even if he wanted for real... president can't be influenced by a foreign country and having money in a foreign bank - being influenced by that country's money policy... so, Trump is trying to help his fellow millionaire but he does it soooo awkward that it is not funny... well... actually - it is funny...

He needs to relieve himself from those interests. Those are rules and regulations that he is expected to uphold, not to break - many USG employees lost their clearances for opening a local bank account at their overseas post, and those accounts probably did not amount to millions of bucks... Now, that he has won the Electoral College, he has to submit to many rules - he is not king, he is a Top Employee of the public.

And, if he keeps his interests, how do I know that his position on India/Pakistan is not influenced by his interests in India? Or, his position on the Panama canal is not affected by his Trump buildings in Panama City?... More questions than answers...
