[quote=Anonymous]1.  There is no legal requirement for a presidential candidate to release his tax returns as a private citizen.

2.  Leftists are irrational when they say they need to see his tax returns to decide whether or not to vote for him.  If you feel failure of a candidate to release tax returns is disqualifying in your opinion, you don't need to see the returns to NOT vote for him.  I assume those of you who deemed his failure to release his returns disqualifying, did NOT vote for him.  Therefore, his tax returns are completely irrelevant.

3.  If you are angry under the assumption that he took full advantage of loopholes available only to billionaires, and that's disqualifying, again--don't vote for him.  You don't need to see the returns to not vote for him.

4.  Unless you are a highly experienced forensic tax accountant, you will not have any hope of understanding whatever is actually in his tax returns.

5.   Most of us are not highly experienced forensic tax accountants and therefore are probably not even qualified to make any conclusions based on a review of his tax returns, which--let's face it, no one is actually going to bother doing, since they're probably hundreds or thousands of pages long.

6.  If the idea is that you don't want to review them yourselves, but want to expose Trump to political harm via review of his tax returns by his political adversaries--well, again, you don't need his actual tax returns to NOT vote against him.  If he's disqualified as presidential material, in your eyes, for failure to release the returns, he can't be even more disqualified based on whatever is in the returns.[/quote]
