The Hypocrisy Of Trump’s Refusal To Release His Tax Returns

In an interview with the Associated Press, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump revealed that he will not release any of his tax returns before election day.

Snip.........

It’s also a sharp break from Trump’s own advice to Mitt Romney. In January 2012, Trump told Greta Van Sustren that Romney “was hurt really very badly” by his initial refusal to release his tax returns. He advised Romney to “release them now.”


Snip..........

Tax returns, however, are not as easily manipulated. They could show that Trump is much less wealthy than he claims. One imagines that if Trump’s returns validated his business success he’d be eager to release them.

Or he could have something else to hide. We may never know.

At this point if you vote for him (for that matter sit back and let him be elected) you are admitting decency, honesty, democracy have nothing to do with your outlook on life.
