    I responded to a post on Hunter Biden. So do you have anything relevant to say? Obviously the reference to the Biden Crime Family hits a little close to home so to speak.

    If Hunter Biden who is not running for anything and not paid by taxpayers has to release his taxes then so must Ivanka &Jared, Diaper Don Jr. Eric and Melania If she files a separate return AND THEN THERE ARE DIRTY DONALDS RETURNS!!!!!

    The left wing of the DNC doesn't make up the entire American people. Not all of us have a burning desire to force people to violate their personal right to privacy. I don't want to see Joe Biden's taxes either. They won't show all the money from Burisma and China anyway.

    I’ll be disappointed in Trump if he releases his tax returns. It is nobody’s business but his own, and that is a principle he should stick to.

    it’s a stupid precedent that should never have happened. Now is the time to kill it.

    Tax returns provide information that speaks to character and behavior, as well as connections - which may or may not be desirable (and could be dangerous) in a president. Further, candidates to public office can't expect to have the same degree of privacy as ordinary citizens. After all, they must be chosen and, as such, citizens should be afforded access to information which will help them make wise and informed decisions - because their decision will impact their lives.

    As SCOTUS has said, citing Coleman v. MacLennan:

    It is of the utmost consequence that the people should discuss the character and qualifications of candidates for their suffrages. The importance to the state and to society of such discussions is so vast, and the advantages derived are so great that they more than counterbalance the inconvenience of private persons whose conduct may be involved.​

    we already know their character. In this day and age they are scumbags. There was a time when some politicians may have been honorable. Maybe. But that time is long past.

    So then discuss. Violating one's rights is more than an inconvenience and there is no legal or even moral reason for anyone to open up their private books to satisfy a political witch hunt.

    If you want to get a security clearance you can't be 400 million dollars in debt to cleptocratic oligarchs from Russia and Saudi Arabia

    The Trump family pools their income, yet the left is going ballistic over what Trump himself paid individually in taxes. Why would you not care what a Hunter Biden makes, especially when Daddy Joe is setting him up with cozy jobs in the Ukraine?

    There is no requirement for a candidate to show you theirs in order to run for office. Drama queen? Here you go ' ' you seem to have run out of apostrophes

    That was treading the fine line of "personal attack", but since you brought it up, I doubt any of the people squealing about Trump's taxes would understand them either. Including you.

    Did Trump actually promise that he would release his tax returns? Like “cross my heart, hope to die” promise?
