Releasing your tax returns has nothing to do with "ethical requirements," moron. It's purely to provide grist for the leftwing fake news to generate bogus attacks on conservative candidates with.Any 'blame' is for his recognizing the ethical requirement for transparency by saying he would release his taxes and then not doing it. This is duplicitous and suspicious.LOL ---- I'm not a billionaire, and my tax return was over 300 pages.
Can you imagine what distortions, half truths, and misleading assumptions a hostile press could come up with his?
You can't blame him for not loading the guns for the idiots in the press.
why is it whenever republicans are called out on blatant bullshit they always say "Well i personally disgareed with that" i didn't ask what you personally thought did I? did you vote for the birther president despite knowing he was race baiting lying conpiracy theorist? do you honestly think thats better? let me know when you run for president than i might care what your shitty personal opinions are about anythingActually I never suspected that BHO was every from anyplace else but Hawaii.remind me how you racist neo nazis screamed about a paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theory about obama being secretly from kenya, and you needed his birth certificate (and still claimed it was fake) but literally the first election after his presidency you ran someone who was born in Canada? and he came in second to Trump's birther ass... can you explain that cognitive dissonance without having a psychotic break from reality?Well the US Constitution requires that the POTUS be naturally born a citizen of the USA. Therefore proof is warranted, and a birth cert is the only possible proof.I never understood how racist neo nazi republicans could demand obama release his fucking birth certificate but they dont see a problem with trump not releasing his tax returns.
This is precisely why Ted Cruz can never be POTUS -- he was born in Canada.
I knew he had a white momma and a Kenyan daddy.
You can google his wiki and read all about it.
It was on the TV news too.
This whole tax return thing was RM Nixon's own idea.Any 'blame' is for his recognizing the ethical requirement for transparency by saying he would release his taxes and then not doing it. This is duplicitous and suspicious.
It is foolish and ridiculous and ill advised.
I hope you noticed how it did not prove that Nixon was "... not a crook".
There is no "ethical requirement" to release your tax returns.Any 'blame' is for his recognizing the ethical requirement for transparency by saying he would release his taxes and then not doing it.

You are an educated and trained philosopher like myself therefore you have no excuse for making such indefensible statements like these red herrings you are making.It is common social knowledge that ethics dictates clarity and transparency for someone who seeks the highest office. Only a moron could think of denying this. Trump accepted this concept when he said he would release his taxes. He lied.
The point is that nobody from George Washington to Dwight Eisenhower ever dreamed of publishing their tax returns.Nixon, also, was duplicitous.
Foolish, ridiculous and ill-advised fits the present C.I. C. as well.
The only thing Trump has going for him is that he isn't Cruz or one of the other insufferables. As for Ms Clinton, why would anyone vote for a war criminal? The two party dictatorship has so screwed America that it is unbelievable, but they couldn't have done it without the willing ignorance of the 'electorate'.
I am not rich enough to run for POTUS.why is it whenever republicans are called out on blatant bullshit they always say "Well i personally disgareed with that" i didn't ask what you personally thought did I? did you vote for the birther president despite knowing he was race baiting lying conpiracy theorist? do you honestly think thats better? let me know when you run for president than i might care what your shitty personal opinions are about anything
You don't know a damn thing about the Constitution do you? If trump has done things with Russia in the past that might undermine National Security, congress can release his tax returns whether he agrees with it or not. SInce Congress won't do it for partisan reasons. That leaves it up to the voting public to decide. And since this issue is a growing concern among voting Republicans, Trump may lose his congressional supporters when they get voted out of office. But I thinkTrump would resign before he would release his tax returns. He just couldn't take the heat!That is because the Constitution confuses you.I never understood how racist neo nazi republicans could demand obama release his fucking birth certificate but they dont see a problem with trump not releasing his tax returns.

Just look how high Trump has set the bar now.
You need to be a top dog plutocrat first.

For a POTUS who has a long history of deceptiveness, selfishness and misrepresentations of fact, and who also refuses to divest of his personal business holdings while in the office of the President, disclosing his tax returns would be about the best possible way for him to at least provide the information the public needs to have so they can at least know whether his positions are apt to be personally profitable to him.
For me, it's a matter of scale. The man's a billionaire. If he advocates a position that happens to yield him a few hundred grand, I don't care so much. If it's a few million, well, I sort of care. If it's hundreds of millions, I care. If it turns out that his policies form a pattern of consistent gains great and small, well, I definitely care and I'd be inclined to think he's abusing the privilege of being POTUS.
I could take a somewhat less strident position were he to divest truly of his holdings, but he's not done that and shows no indication that he will. Moreover, his kids are on his staff and running the companies. That's just too cozy for us to also have no very detailed visibility to what's what.
It doesn't matter if he put them in his kids names, he will still protect those assets no matter what. The only way he could be 100% conflict of interest free was to sell off those assets which he has not done, and has no intention of doing.
I'd prefer he divest, but I'm not nearly as concerned about whether he actually sells off the assets as I am about visibility. With comprehensive visibility, we can know "what's up." Knowing "what's up," the people, the Congress and the Courts are in a position to hold him accountable and take action if he crosses the line. That's enough for me. His situation is unique -- private mega-business owner rather than owners of public company securities -- so I can get with the idea of taking a little bit different tack. Full and complete disclosure is that tack; that's the compromise with which I'd feel comfortable.
Selling them off is the only way he can be conflict of interest free. PERIOD
I'm not sure how THAT works ---- Sasha Obama went from 9 years old to worth $19 million in the eight years her dad was in the WH. I don't remember her writing any books.
So much for that transparency thing, huh?

He isn't going to sell off all his properties. Such a demand is utterly fatuous and absurd. Its only intent is to hurt Trump.
