I really don't care to see it. I don't recall seeing any previous presidents' tax form...maybe I just didn't care then either. I presume a rich person would be able to afford good tax advisors and would take advantage of all available loopholes. And that is why I voted for the candidate who I thought was most likely to simplify the tax code.
DAY TWO First Broken Promise - Now Trump Won't Release Tax Returns At All
So that didn't take long. Day Two and Kellyanne Conway went on TV this morning to say Trump will not be releasing his tax returns at all. What is he hiding? All along he said once audits were completed which now that it is only day two shows, he was lying all along, he had no intention of ever releasing them.
The petition has already reached the required amount
to require a response by the White House.
130.000 people signed.
I think we should send one petition off every month,
I wan't to see his tax returns.
The requirements to run for president are 35 years old, natural born US citizen, 14 years residency within the US. That's it. Any document that substantiates those requirements should be the only thing a person needs to submit to run.
In addition, if you are running for president under a particular party, that political party should be able to require additional qualifications which stipulate the documentation needed to substantiate those additional party requirements. I think this already exists.
But one thing is for sure, you shouldn't require the substantiation before you stipulate what it is you are trying to prove. That includes tax returns, speech copies, college transcripts, how much you tip the pizza delivery guy, etc.
If, for example, you require the submission of tax returns it shouldn't be for a fishing expedition. Perhaps you want to make a qualification that your taxes have been filed and paid in full for the last 6 years. The substantiation might be certified transcripts from the IRS. Perhaps you want to make income level a qualification or you want to make charitable contributions a qualification. That can be fulfilled with a tax return and cancelled checks or bank statements. If you require college transcripts, the qualification that comes first might be graduation, a particular grade point average or proof you took and passed economics. I don't say those things should be the qualifications. I'm just illustrating that you shouldn't have to provide information to satisfy someone's curiosity. It should be geared to substantiating a qualification. If the qualification applies to every candidate it should be an amendment to the constitution. Party candidate qualifications and the substantiation required to prove them, are up to them.
Hillary Clinton should not have to show speech transcripts, Donald Trump shouldn't have to provide tax return copies and Barack Obama shouldn't have had to produce his college transcripts unless their parties require them. However, they all should have to produce a birth certificate and proof of 14 years of residency.
So now Hillary's actions determine whether or not the public is allowed to know if Trump is in bed with a Russian dictator and his Oligarchy. There is reason that releasing tax returns became a tradition and it does show respect for the American people. The birther-in-chief trolled President Obama for years to show his birth certificate and that was A-okay with you? But now he is avoiding protocol...why?

They had over 100,000 in the first 24 hours. It's currently at 215,000.
I could careless about anyone's tax returns. Ezexpt maybe Al Sharpton. Wouldn't it be funny if Trumps IRS actually made him pay the millions and millions in late taxes and the full penalties like they do any normal middle class American they destroy?
