2 in 3 want to see Trump tax returns: poll

Two in three respondents said in a new poll that they want to see President Trump's tax returns, following recent split Supreme Court decisions.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found that 66 percent of respondents said the president "should release his tax returns from earlier years" and 68 percent said "Americans have a right to see each presidential candidate's financial records before the election."

The survey was conducted after the Supreme Court's ruling last week to permit New York state prosecutors access to Trump's taxes, which will likely not happen before the 2020 election. The Supreme Court also denied Congress access to the records last week.

Trump has declined to release his tax returns for years going against the typical tradition of presidential candidates.

Are they like the 1 in 3 Fox News viewers who are so indifferent to their own lives and the lives of their loved ones that they won't change the channel or pick up a newspaper to see the truth about COVID-19?

I bet there's a crossover between these two groups.

When it comes to Trump's tax returns, I'll be depending on experts and forensic accountants to explain the significance to me, since I probably wouldn't understand much of what I was looking at. There are probably a lot of DUers who could spot the red flags.

either think that coronavirus is a hoax, or that you can cure it by injecting yourself with disinfectant.

I'd be perfectly happy if someone (a tax expert or a team of them) did and just gave us the final score.

Honestly, I don't need to know it cheated on its taxes to despise it. At this point, I don't need any more reasons.
