It doesn't take an Einstein to see why Trump was the first presidential nominee in >40 years not to release his taxes.




Doc, can you tell me who was the last President that was a Billionaire business man instead of already being a politician?

A billionaire businessman doing international business is the most likely candidate to have conflicts of interest and should be the last exempted from scrutiny. The founders put in the emoluments clause lest we elect presidents beholden to foreign states. Trump, for example, declared his love for the Saudis during the campaign because they buy so much real estate from him.

Tom Steyer is about to get in the race as a mega-rich (on an impeach Trump platform, btw) businessman. You'd be ok with him not disclosing his taxes?
