There are likely two reasons Trump won't release the returns:
1. He isn't as rich as he likes to brag that he is.
2. He probably pays less tax than you or I do.
1 is probably true, but again, that wouldnt be able to be discovered looking at tax returns
2. Is also probably true, but wealth, again.. IS NOT TAXED..
What if he has been practicing fraud on the returns or lying to evade tax payments? Public has a right to know, and he's lied about a lot of things already.
And we would.. its called CRIMINAL charges would have been filed against him. Criminal charges are PUBLIC..
You can keep making things up, but made up things is just that.. made up...
I think he should or he is going to look like he is hiding something. Not a constitutional requirement, though there is the possibility of it becoming a law.

That seems to be true this year. Pretty sure that Romney did not. Remember the link for all the candidates going back to Nixon?

Double standards should not apply just because you like Trump. An audit is no excuse.
Found this....which I agree with...."Kelner says financial and ethical disclosure requirements for candidates have "become so excessive, it really is discouraging good people from running for office." The candidates not only face the pressure as individuals, they are now forced to think about their families and others, which Kelner says is "very intrusive, something they all have to weigh." Presidential candidates have long history of releasing tax returns – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

There is no double standard taking place because I didnt want to see Clintons tax returns either..
And you have no idea what Trump wants from VP candidates, so so stop making things up..
And people who have wealth, have very little need for income.. Warren Buffet earns $100K a year as CEO of BRK.. He's worth $70 Billion give or take..
One has NOTHING to do with the other..
My bet is that Warren gets more than a pocketful of investment income. Passive income counts, just not as much. "Little people pay taxes." Rich folks have all kinds of dodges available to them. Working folks, not so much.
