    To clarify: When Trump says he wants the wealthy to pay their fair share, he means that they should pay less than they currently do.

        Only a fool would believe a man who won't release his tax returns when he talks about fair taxes.

        @CrabQ It would be nice if Trump released his tax returns, so we can see if he pays any share, fair or otherwise.
