Is the issue here that people want to know how much he made (makes) or how much he was taxed?

If this is an issue of fair taxation, then why not pressure the IRS for a review, audit, or other verification process. If the dude has off book stuff, it's not going to show up on his tax returns.

If he evaded taxes - shame on him and I hope he gets busted. If he has tax people who know how to navigate the system and maximize his take home pay - shame on the IRS.

Do people care because he has lots of money? or do people care because they are mad he pays less taxes than them? I genuinely don't understand the issue.
