you clearly missed the part where i told you that anyone in public office, regardless of party or ideology, who is corrupt needs to go, no matter what.

your desperate deflections (i was quite clearly referring to american progressives, like AOC, bernie... who reject corporate bucks, replying to sandra's delusional hope that full transparency would hurt dems more than republicans) are worthless.

plz no wealth tax. they’ll my and your houses on the basis of “being wealthy”

Let's do tax returns for all the house senate and presidents let's see what's happening behind the scenes

This should have always been an open book, with no involvement with international banks or other laundering options legally allowed for anyone in the public service.
No Caymans, no Swiss accounts, no crypto, 100% transparency.
And no working in the private sector for a set amount of time after leaving public service.

this.

and not a single republican would support it.

He's a EUROPEAN you little dipshit and talked about PROGRESSIVES what do you not understand you pea brain.

Imagine getting this riled up over literally nothing. What a simp

Didn't miss anything buddy you're from EU which is why I reminded you of that corrupt bunch of EU progressives. Anyone with a brain can spot the direct connection but it's clearly too much asked for some TDS sufferers here

private citizen's personal tax returns released. yay. release them for all former and current elected officials now at this level of detail.

meanwhile our elected officials vote to raise the maximum they can pay their staff, up to $212K per year, per person: https://www.yahoo.com/news/pelosi-announces-maximum-salary-house-000350287.html

who funds these increases? the taxpayer facing record inflation.

Can't believe people can involve the "right to privacy" for a public, former politically responsible at highest levels person.

Why ?

Your american people are regulary publishing pictures (/e an names, even adresses) of arrested or convicted people in the medias. This kind of behavior is illegal in many european countries: "Right to privacy" ? fucking JOKE !

Disability is strong with this one: the guy is a clown-crook at world level.

you don't believe for a second that all the people who pretended to be so happy about "draining the swamp" now suddenly think that presidents releasing their taxes (something every single one except trump did since the 70s), providing a very basic level of transparency, is a bad thing because it's such a massive overreach into their privacy, do you?

it's just the maga bubble's current talking point, because their cult leader is mad about being exposed as the liar, fraud, tax dodger, and crook that he is. they need some copium, so they pretend this is about privacy. hilariously, their "threat" of doing the same to every elected official, regardless of party, is something the actual left (not corrupt establishment dems like pelosi, biden, schumer..., but progressives like bernie and aoc) most definitely welcomes, and has been pushing for. faux news drones are just too dumb to realise that, they are just mad about trump.
