I had speculated earlier that one reason Trump wouldn't release tax returns was that his personal filings (IRS) would conflict with public records (SEC). Turns out, they do, in a very, very big way. In 1995 he claimed $6,108 in salary from Trump casinos, buy the company reported nearly $600,000 more than that.

the Republican presidential candidate told the IRS and New York state tax officials that he collected a mere $6,108 in “wages, salaries, tips, etc.” in 1995. Yet, according to financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that same year Trump received $583,333 in compensation from the then-named Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, the company Trump had taken public in the middle of that year. The figure comes from a proxy statement that the company filed in early 1996.

In Trump world, that's "Lying to Peter to steal from Paul."

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
