    Some days are just stones:

    In a terse order, the Supreme Court rejected the former president’s request that it block the Treasury Department from turning over the files.

    And note that this is just an interim measure, the investigation is continuing.. we are very puzzled and interested that someone with your education and intellect is claiming earnings above minimum wage..

    Back on topic.. I thought that financial records of elected officials were disclosed..

    It has become "normal and customary" but not required of candidates for some political offices to release their tax records----trump is not "normal"---in so many ways

    I think he is afraid that people will find out that much of his wealth is wishful thinking. He may be running a deficit and living off his reputation .

    I still like his policies .

    For the most part I agree with you IV.

    I also don't know why people think a politician should reveal their tax returns. I think that is a private affair between the tax payer and the IRS.

    trump's problem is not as much exposing his taxes----it is in exposing all the lies they will lay bare. He ain't what he claims to be

    And I still believe tax returns are a private affair. If he cheats, it is the place of the IRS to determine how much, not every Tom, Dick and Harry that wants a glimpse.

    I never thought that tax cheating was the subject.. but rather claimed tax earnings or losses compared to other statements, IE: “we had no involvement in XYZ” is stated, yet tax return shows an earning or loss for XYZ (shows involvement)..
