I could care less about Trump's tax returns. It is not mandatory that he release such. I do not recall Obama releasing his college transcripts or similar "personal" stuff either. How about concentrating on the important stuff???!!!

 

There is a tradition of candidates coming clean with their returns but yes, it's not mandatory. I liked it as you got a better sense of the person and certainly had a sense of where and what they were up to in business. In this case, I believe Trump's returns probably showed that he wasn't quite as successful as he makes himself out to be - much like his buildings don't have quite the number of floors he says they do. Let's not kid ourselves, if those returns showed hm in a favourable light he would have stapled them to his forehead. 

Trump broke that tradition and whether the next candidate will bring it back remains to be seen.

In America, we have the right to privacy in our private lives.  That's what they said when they legalized abortion.
