If you don’t give a crap about that, which is much more egregious than some tax returns, then you should really just ****.
Read the Mueller report. But nice deflection. Again. Trump promised he would produce his tax returns many many times and then went all the way to the Supreme Court trying to avoid doing so. No president has gone to such extremes after making such promises numerous times.

I'd be okay with that too.

We are currently looking at a $1.9 Trillion stimulus bill that was written by people who have gotten extremely wealthy over their years in Washington. Seems like we should know if any of the pork money is going to companies which are in part owned by the people writing it. Or do you think Nancy Pelosi never took advantage of her position to obtain over $100 million in net worth?
What the hell does Nancy Pelosi have to do with this? lol.

I have no problem having the taxes of all members of Congress being public. I think it's a good idea for all the reasons you state above.

Trump used the "routine audit" excuse to stall for time because he never had any intention of releasing his taxes. Now after ten years of a "routine audit" time has run out. Even if there's nothing in his taxes to prove criminality (and I'll bet there is plenty) they will at the least be highly embarrassing to him by showing that he is no where as rich as he claims.

While I detest Trump with all my being, I actually support his refusal to submit his tax returns. I would have done the same as he one this one.

The executive branch does NOT create laws and can only pass laws CREATED by the legislative branch.

Our returns are no ones business. Those that don't make enough to get taxed sure want to know though, huh.

That's pretty much what i said.

He "SIGNS" the laws. Nowhere in that statement does it say, or infer, that he creates laws. That's what the legislative branch is for.
