They will NEVER release their tax returns. They have NO INTENTION of ever releasing them.

If they were intending to release the full tax returns, they would have done so by now. After all... if the tax returns were complete enough and thorough enough to release to the IRS, then they're complete enough to release to the American voters.

I feel like they're hiding something... and I think it may have something to do with his current wife Jane. It's all very suspicious, and the longer this goes on, the more fishy it smells.

Nobody begrudges the fact that they are RICH and part of the 1% themselves. But what people need to know is where the money is coming from... what's the SOURCE of their income? Also, where is it being invested? Is it being saved domestically, or "off-shore"? Are all the taxes being paid? Are the write-offs kosher?

All I'm saying is that these are LEGITIMATE questions that we deserve HONEST answers to.

Personally, I'm looking for a candidate who is HONEST and FORTHRIGHT. I am looking for a candidate who keeps promises and who has INTEGRITY.

Still waiting for him to exude his full TAX RETURNS. Any word on that? What's the delay? If...

Still waiting for him to exude his full TAX RETURNS. Any word on that? What's the delay? If the tax returns were complete enough to submit to the IRS, then they are complete enough to release to the American voters. No "polishing" or "adjusting" or "clarifying" or "fixing-up" or "fine-tuning" is necessary.

Everyone should play by the same rules. No special favors for anyone! No exceptions.

The American people have the right to know whether or not anyone running to be the "Leader of the Free World" has properly paid his taxes. We have the right for an honest, forthcoming, and COMPLETE release of his FULL tax returns for a period of TEN years so that we can confirm where the candidate's money is coming from, and where the candidate is investing or saving (ie: domestic or off-shore) and what the candidate and his/her spouse claims as "deductibles" or other assets.

We need to see EVERY candidate's tax returns BEFORE the primaries... so that we'll know whether or not he or she is honest and has the integrity to be our party's nominee.

It's complete BS for any candidate to think they're entitled to DELAY and not release their tax returns until they win the nomination. All I'm saying is that the American voters deserve better than the peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek delays and excuses.

I see absolutely no benefit in giving anyone a platform to smear the Democratic party...

There are other benefits to running besides winning.
It is not a waste of time for any of them.

I see absolutely no benefit in giving anyone a platform to smear the Democratic party. What "benefit" is there in making false claims that Democrats are "ideologically bankrupt" or "feeble". What is the "benefit" for anyone to publicly insinuate that Democrats are "corrupt" or to characterize the Democratic party is an "absolute failure".

Honestly, I struggle to see what good there is in cheering anyone who who says false things like the Democratic party is "the party of the one-percent" or that Democrats are the "party of the elite". These things are blatantly untrue.

This type of argument that promotes the myth that there's "no difference between Democrats and Republicans" is harmful. It tarnishes the "brand" of the Democratic party... it creates distrust and divisions... resentments form, old wounds are opened... and that weakens the party. A weakened Democratic party only benefits the GOP, and Trump, and Russia.

All I'm saying here is that this type of negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections. What good purpose does that serve?

I hope that everyone has learned from the mistakes of the past and that anyone who's inclined to do so can resist the urge to indulge themselves in such vanities and lies.
