I didn't find out about it until this morning, and I would have participated, but I knew I couldn't get myself together by the 1:00 time. So I was very surprised to be crossing the area just before 3:00 and finding that marchers were still pouring out, marching up the Avenue, bigly. Very upbeat, thousands strong.

And I enjoyed the signs:

Show us your taxes, not your contempt!
This is not normal!
Even Tricky Dick released his tax returns!
1040 or fight! [In case you don't know history, that's a clever play on "5440 or fight."]
Show us your taxes - Quit Putin us off!
Hail to the Cheat!
and the typically direct New Yorker: F#&@# you, Trump! NY hates you!

Did any of you participate?
too bad its NOT REQUIRED

no president or candidate showed theirs before Nixon/McGovern

the facts remain...there is no REQUIREMENT to show their PRIVATE tax forms... or even health records of a candidate or a sitting potus

seriously...what would it show...wow a billionaire made a few 100 million or even a billion and paid his/her taxes, after deductions and credits (like his stolen return from the 90's...wow he had a CREDIT for his losses that year)

wow..in year(s) he has LOSSES, he was able to use those losses to effectively negate his tax bill....JUST LIKE EVERYONE else can



IF there was anything funny in his returns...the IRS would have him on collections.... that is a fact

otherwise...its not my business nor yours what he earned, lost, paid, or was credited

why is it that the fascist liberals are so concerned about what someone else pays or doesn't pay in taxes??

Why is it that the trump apologists don't care that he lied to them?

Many states are trying to pass legislation that beginning in 2020 no one can be on the ballot for POTUS in that state unless they release their returns. Hopefully they can all pass this.
believe the bolded would be unconstitutional....

whats next a dna test??

Come on, tell us how you really feel.

It's not required for any president to release his tax returns and I can care less to see or not to see them. What good will it do?

Trump's mistake was not telling people that he does not plan to show his returns as he was a private citizen prior to winning the WH.

Do LIBS wake up thinking about things to protest?

It would require years of experience as a corporate CPA to interpret his tax return. All you would get is highlights from mathematical illiterates, mostly to bash Trump. Obama ordered spying on Trump, my guess is he ordered the audit of Trump as well.

Note, Trump has a degree in economics, and he doesn't even attempt to file without a slew of accountants. Did you graduate Wharton?

Only 50 years of precedent?

Anyone still believe he is still being audited, it would be nice to see the returns of this great businessman. What is there to hide, he is so successful.
