I'd go back at least a few years before his 1994 Senate run -- 20 years, say struggle4progress Jul 2012 #2

Yeah, 20 is good ProSense Jul 2012 #6

I don't think he can win this no matter what he does. Ruby the Liberal Jul 2012 #3

I would settle for 7 years, because that's how far back most people keep them. Ian David Jul 2012 #4

If he wasn't being so invasive on the issue I would say 12 SoutherDem Jul 2012 #5

But on the returns, I'd be happy with 2008 and 2009 - the crash and the Swiss account amnesty window. Anything more than that is gravy, but I am thinking those 2 years will be VERY telling as to what he is hiding.

But of course, 12 years would be better.

but, being he is trying so hard to hide EVERYTHING I feel 23 is the minimum. I think he needs to give permission to the IRS to release as many as are requested. Yeah, I still have a tooth under my pillow waiting on the tooth fairy too.
