Charles Rangel was caught cheating on his taxes. The Dems gave a collective shrug of their shoulders and Rangel got a mild rebuke. Now suddenly the dems care about tax returns.
The Dems put Getiner, a tax cheat, in charge of the Treasury Dept which controls the IRS.
Now, they care about peoples tax returns?
Hilarious.
For years, the IRS was not able to fire their own employees determined to be non-filers or tax cheats, because whenever they tried the employee union brought up Geitner.
It doesn't matter what anyone wants now. The time to vote on whether or not we elect someone without tax returns was Nov 8th. The voters said they didn't care about tax returns.
that is simply untrue.
you are claiming the election was a referendum on whether or not presidential candidates should show their taxes... it was not . In fact trumpers are using this as their go to excuse for everything trump does "badly"
Trump kills the Fiduciary rule, and suddenly the rightwing thinks the public should not be protected, but just 6 months ago you all loved the incoming fiduciary rule...
trump allows waste coal products to be dumped in rivers, suddenly humans don't like clean drinking water...and love heavy metals accumulating in their kids bodies..

Sorry, but it simply IS true. You are going off into other topics that have nothing to do with this one.
People's tax returns are private information. Candidates voluntarily choose to release their tax returns because they feel it will harm their candidacy if they don't release them. That is the only reason. There is no law requiring candidates to make their private tax returns, public. Trump chose to take that risk and leave it up to the voters to decide if that was important to them. They decided it was not important enough to withhold their vote. It is as simple as that.
I could care less about his tax returns unless he is convicted of tax fraud or another crime.
SQUIRREL!!!
This is now an issue beyond tax avoidance or exaggerating his wealth,which were the seeming issues before the election. It may show connections to Russia he claim doesnt exist, or other such incriminating evidence.
There IS a reason why he doesnt want the public to see it. YOU should wonder what that reason is. That you dont is puzzling given that his nat sec adviser has been caught lying about Russian connections and discussions.

And now suddenly, the reps don't care about tax returns.
