Watchdog group: Corruption worsens under populist leaders

who cares about his tax returns?

People other than his fanboys, on both sides of the aisle. Besides, he said he would release them.

Regarding transparency, and given the diversified nature of his numerous business holdings, I think he should start by disclosing his tax returns. He initially said he would disclose in due course. Now my understanding is that he has no intention of ever doing so. I'm surprised that this doesn't even cause a ripple among his more ardent fanboys. It's like they feel the less they know, the better. (It's almost like a faith in God, I suppose. You don't want to consider it too carefully for fear of what you might discover.)

I would agree that he should release his tax returns, as he had promised he would. As far as I know, it wasn't him that said he would not, but one of his advisers or Conway that said "no one cares about that anymore" in response to a question on it.

But not releasing them when he promised he would (after the audit was completed) is certainly a mark against him on transparency.

who cares about his tax returns? There is no requirement he release is old tax returns.
Check out his executive orders. Don't you big govt loving, liberty hating lefties realize the good he is doing right now? He is even helping chicago. Obama never fixed their murder problem and he lived there.

That isn't the point. The man said he would, and so he should. It's really as simple as that. You can't spend 8 years going after Obama on transparency and then immediately give a pass to Trump on it.

You're talking over their head. They've never filled out a tax return so they don't even know what is in one. To them a deduction is money stolen from schools and the military. A loss proves you are incompetent and a profit means you are a crook.

I hope you don't mean me, as I have filed plenty of tax returns in my past and paid more than my share. This has nothing to do with the concept of keeping one's word.

I recall Trump saying he would release them when the audit ended. So I guess he should work with Congress to abolish the IRS and then he can release his tax returns.

He can release them whenever he pleases. However, it does not please him.

We don't care about damn emails.
We DO care about damn tax returns.
See the difference?
