Trump hasn't made tax returns public for 40 years

One is not dependent on the other.

hillary said she would release her speeches to wallstreet when all other candidates have :)

Seems like they can be conditional to each other.

on a related note i think trump has released all of his wall st speeches already :D

Fail. Every candidate in modern times has released their tax returns prior to the election - except your Master.

Explain why. :)
 
Kerry's? I assume you're talking about John Kerry. When did he ever release his tax return prior to running for President?

According to several veterans of the Kerry campaign, that’s because the senator made it standard practice to release five or six years worth of tax returns during each of his Senate campaigns, meaning that when he launched his 2004 presidential bid, 18 years of tax returns had already been made public. (He then released an additional two years’ worth during the campaign.) Those returns were sent to local Massachusetts reporters covering his Senate races, rather than the national press corps. A newspaper archive search confirmed their disclosure.

  • On April 19, 1997, the Boston Globe reported that Kerry had paid nearly $40,000 in federal and state income taxes on an income of $143,795 “according to income tax returns he released yesterday.” Most of the senator’s reported income came from his $126,920 salary.
  • One year earlier, the Globe reported that, “Kerry’s six-year total income is $724,042; according to his federal tax returns, he earmarked just under seven-10ths of 1 percent for charitable contributions.”
  • On October 29, 1990, the Globe reported that Kerry was badgering his Republican opponent — real estate developer Jim Rappaport — “by demanding that Rappaport release five years of federal and state tax returns, as Kerry has done.”

Don't most/all congress people have to release their tax returns?

I guess I'm missing why a private citizen would release their's.
 
Kos doesn't say "personal" anywhere, it just says tax returns. Be that as it may, Kerry's returns were personal.

Public companies have to file quarterly SEC reports but none of Trump's companies are public. So I'm trying to understand why a private business or private individual is going to release their tax returns?

Trump is a candidate for the presidency. Maybe you heard.

No they don't.

"The two Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives are among hundreds of senators and representatives from both parties who refused to release their tax records. Just 17 out of the 535 members of Congress released their most recent tax forms or provided some similar documentation of their tax liabilities in response to requests from McClatchy over the last three months. Another 19 replied that they wouldn’t release the information, and the remainder never responded to the query."

Because he's running for president. And Trump Resorts was public back in the '90s. And he lost money for the shareholders every single year.,

I've stated he should release his tax returns since he's running for President. But your subject line says he hasn't released his tax returns for 40 years. Why would he have prior to now as a private citizen?

Non sequitur.

What's Trump hiding?
