6 1/2 years of wasted money and time for nothing against Trump. And they knew it was nothing…..which is why they released the info just before Christmas Eve

Do the Dems look stupid for having made assumptions about Trump's finances? Yes.
Will the Dems admit that this made them look stupid? No. They are unapologetic liars. In 6 months they will spin this into something monumentally stupid, and it will break our brains.
Regardless of their motives, the Dems were right on this issue. The IRS has the ability to view minute bank transactions, but we the people don't have the ability to see what our political leaders are doing with their money? That doesn't make any sense to me.

You have it reversed.
In general, if R's do something first, they are quiet when they see others doing it to them. That is because they can admit that they are wrong. Not so, vice versa.
The IRS did not perform the mandatory audits of the President for over two years. Seems suspicious?
It's how I operate in life: I give more money to incompetent individuals or businesses, believing that if I give them more, they will become more competent, efficient, effective. After all, the reason that the IRS didn't do its job in combing through the Trump tax returns is either because they don't have enough people or they have been corrupted. Once again, when I encounter a corrupt organization, what I do is give it more money and hope that it multiplies more employees. Works every time.
We live in a bizzarro world.

Or the FBI doing high profile raids that lead to nothing, or the FBI working with social media to supress speech, I think I've learned that the checks and balances in the system have been significantly eroded.

How'd that turn out?

But, the tax code is so complicated, that only people who can afford to hire tax accountants and tax lawyers will ever pay their true amount of taxes. Those who aren't so rich will always pay too much because it is too difficult and costly to figure out the correct amount. This is the system we have...a system for the rich.
Such a system also allows the powerful to remain in power.
They know that the system is so complicated that there is likely to be a mistake in payment somewhere for everyone, so they can try to prosecute the rich people they don't like, and let the rich people they like go un-investigated...which is what they are trying to do with Trump...one of those "capricious prosecutions" Tyrone was talking about far below (not realizing he was doing so, of course).
A flat tax with no deductions or credits would be nice. We could get rid so many drains on society: excess iRS agents, corrupt uses of power, excess tax accountants, excess tax lawyers. imagine the benefits to society from that.
One-sided.
