Our constitution does not require a tax return be posted to run for president. It does require that a person be a natural born citizen. People will mock us for asking for proof of natural born status but make a big deal about a private matter that should not be required. I think everybody running for president should have to publically post a birth certificate. I don't care about anything else. Trump's finances are none of our business.
following what has become customary for all candidates over the past 40 years = being burned at the stake.
poor trump, he's a victim.
It's sad we've come to a time where using the tax code to legally reduce the amount you must pay to the government is a bad thing.
People actually think that his tax returns will tell you his net worth. See how easy it is to spin it. When you have a citizenry that is clueless about the purpose of tax returns and financials it's easy for people who want to demonize him to spin it to mean what they want it to mean.
The left and the liberal media hope you'll act as a useful idiot to put pressure on him so they can see them so they can spin it.

some do, i don't. i do believe they will offer more insight into trump and either validate or debunk some of his claims.
they are his private records to do as he pleases but for him to intentionally avoid something that has become customary over the past 40 years will affect him at the polls (IMO).

So you admit that people think that a tax return would tell us his net worth and that they are wrong? Do you see how easy it is for them to be fed lies and they will go out and parrot those lies? A lot of people don't have a clue about taxes and they will wait for the media to tell them, they'll be fed lies and they'll hammer repeating those lies.
Ok, explain what you would validate and debunk?
Customary does not mean required by law. It's sad we've come to a time where using the tax code to legally to reduce the amount you must pay to the government is a bad thing.
hey, if you're interested in catching someone in a lie you should look at Hillary, she'll give you plenty of fun.

Wrong.
Trump has made his business acumen a centerpiece of his campaign.
His attraction is supposedly that he's so incredibly successful at his business, that he can easily transfer his business knowledge, skills and abilities to the job of running the country.
When Trump publicly brags about his finances, in the context of running for public office, he himself makes it our business.

obama released his birth certificate in june 2008, the first presidential candidate to do so. the legitimacy was confirmed by the HI department of health in october 2008. the birthers wouldn't accept those facts and created a convoluted conspiracy theory. that's why they were mocked.
I never understood the point of this anyway! What is it anyone's business how much a candidate makes? That's personal.
Trump isnt a public servant. If he were then his income would be public info. He's a businessman with plenty of private companies.
I wouldnt release my tax returns either if I were him.
