Don't be daft, of course tax returns can provide important insight into his financial dealings. Why the hell do you think the IRS has an army of people doing audits if they can't tell anything from it? Nobody says it will say EVERYTHING, but this argument that there is nothing telling in there is nonsense.

He would supply it because he has nothing to hide. Same as every other Presidential candidate for the last few decades has done.

But he does have something to hide, so obviously he won't do it. And yes, it very well could disclose some things his other carefully curated disclosures have not. And he and his lawyers know this well.

It's easier to BS the health records.

by your own admission if there was something untoward in his tax returns, the IRS would have found it by now wouldnt they? and since the IRS hasnt found anything, then why harp on this obsession with his tax returns?

Because it's about more than whether or not he broke a tax law; it's about some additional transparency into his shadow network of business dealings.

Insofar as he is now holding the Presidency and also still running his businesses, it damn well is my business and interest as a person impacted by his policy as to whether he has conflicts of interest between his political and economic incentives.

Although not a full picture, his tax returns could let us see some things about this. Again, he knows this and has something to hide; else he would have released them and said, "here you go, not gonna find anything in here; but at least now you can stop asking.". The fact that he's the only candidate in like a quarter century who called is certainly suspicious, especially given that he never really separated from his business dealings.

Jump off the crazy train, it none of your business and he is under ZERO obligation to release anything to satisfy your nonsense. You sound like a birther. You'd rather have idiot Clinton who became mega wealthy off of other people or Obama who's net worth has shot up to $12m for no apparent reason vs someone who left the the private sector to serve. There is no dignity in obama or clintons scamming of the American public.

He doesn't need to reveal his taxes to perform his job but he does need to be in good health. I don't have any care about his taxes. I do care that he is healthy.

We don’t care about that one.

What’s wrong with wanting to see Donnie’s tax returns?
