[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not one person on here would have changed their vote to Trump if he had released his returns. There was no advantage to him in doing so.  Just because it has been a "tradition" doesn't make it a requirement.  The left would have been all over his taxes for one reason or another and he would have lost votes as a result.  He will never release his taxes - now or in the future. Get used to it.

Then WHY WHY was Trump so damn insistent on Romney releasing his?  You *really* can't see how hypocritical he is?  Gawd, you are sooo blind![/quote]

Because Trump is a smart politician.  Romney never should have released.  All pols are hypocrites. He made a very shrewd political move and will continue to do so as President.  It's a good thing if you support him and a bad thing if you don't.[/quote]

First, A Little History

It's a political cliche to say that if you want a friend in Washington get a dog.

And the origin of politicians releasing their tax returns goes back to Richard Nixon — and his cocker spaniel.

Nixon, running as Eisenhower's vice president in 1952, was accused of financial wrongdoing "related to a fund established by political backers to pay for campaign expenses," Joseph J. Thorndike of the Tax History Project wrote in 2012.[/quote]
