will never produce his taxes! Why are we not demanding him to produce them? Why don’t we have one person from our party crazy enough to sound like a broken record weekly asking? We have lost our tenacity to keep reminding people just how crooked Trump really is! Democrats should be pounding on a number of things daily! No wonder the GOP gets away sweeping everthing under the rug. If this would of been Hillary they still would be carrying on about it!

1. Yes, I believe that we should see the federal income taxes of all presidential candidates

for the previous five years and the federal income tax returns for at least the previous year for any nominated high-ranking government officials. Tax returns should also be released while they are in office.

4. Where is our Orly Taitz

And Diamond And Silk? I mean the crazier the better those our what a lot of Americans believe! Crazy people!

9. Are you serious? I don't want an Orly Taitz...she accomplished nothing and fleeced the right.

I liked the fleecing part.

10. I agree that would be great. But no current law compels that...thus we can do nothing about it.

And you may recall that Sen. Sanders refused to produce his taxes also so we can't really demand it without that being thrown in our faces.

2. Agreed

Isn't it illegal for him not to produce his tax record? How is he getting away with this?

3. This is the first I have heard someone mention legality in this way.

Where did you hear it?

6. It's not illegal

He doesn't have to release them if he doesn't want to.

[Demsrule86]

8. No it is not illegal. You can't force a candidate to produce his/her taxes.

And you can't force a president to either.

11. Huh

Really? For some reason I thought it was. I have no idea why. Weird. Thanks for clearing that up!

12. It's only customary.

A tradition started by, of all people, Mitt Romney's dad.

13. Romney produced a limited amount of taxes, Sen. Sanders did not produce

his taxes and Trump did not produce his taxes. There is no law. But the DNC could require that taxes be produced. I think they should.

5. The Tax March: Protesters around the country call on Trump to release his taxes

Some wore shirts with an image of President Trump as the Monopoly mascot hauling a bag of money. Others taunted the president with signs that said they would show him their taxes, if he showed them his. And in front of a few thousand people on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol there was an oversized inflatable chicken with hair resembling Trump’s, suggesting the president is “too chicken” to release his taxes to the public.

From Seattle to the District, protesters gathered in cities throughout the country Saturday calling on Trump to release his personal tax returns as part of a nationwide Tax March. The protest falls on the country’s traditionally recognized deadline to file taxes, April 15.

In all, dozens of protests occurred throughout the country. The main march unfolded in the nation’s capital, where protesters gathered for a rally in front of the Capitol and then marched west along Pennsylvania Avenue. In South Florida, activists marched to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where the president is staying this weekend. Thousands more gathered at a large march in New York City, where activists, comedians and a state senator spoke. Many of the protests featured an inflatable chicken, a mascot of sorts for the march.

7. You start with 'Trump will never produce his taxes' I think that is true. He won't ever so

why waste time 'demanding' something that will never happen. Let work on things that have a snowballs chance in hell.
