Is that written down somewhere? There are numerous reasons people lie, and it's not always because they're hiding something.

So, just out of curiosity, what is it you think you're going to find in Trump's personal tax returns?

When told repeatedly that some of us voted for Trump as our only means of voting AGAINST Hillary, you continue this idiotic childish lie that we are "Trumpsters".
Is your self image so low that somehow this makes you feel better?
You got something to hide?
Are you so deranged that you can't comprehend the possibility that voting AGAINST somebody doesn't necessarily mean you're excited about "the other guy"?
Do you really think that anybody here buys your childish little game?
Are you that incredibly petty in real life?
Why do you lie?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostTrue, but I don't consider it to be "unreasonable" that citizens know ahead of time whether or not the people they are considering hiring to represent them is a crook. But, it would also need to be a federal law, applicable to every state, not just California, otherwise it wouldn't work. Also, the government wouldn't be siezing a candidates tax returns, in violation of the 4th amendment, they would simply be requiring a presidential candidate to make them public should they choose to run for President and want to be on the ballot."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

And no surprise, California is being sued:
Originally posted by Fox NewsFour voters in California, along with the conservative transparency group Judicial Watch, announced Monday they have filed a federal lawsuit against the left-wing state, alleging its new law aimed at strong-arming President Trump into releasing his income tax returns is patently unconstitutional.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law known as the "Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act" last week. It would require Trump and other presidential primary candidates to file their tax returns for the most recent five years to the California secretary of state by November 26 or be excluded from the March 3, 2020 presidential primary ballot.
The measure sailed through the state's Democratic-led legislature. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown had vetoed a similar version of the law last year, noting that it "may not be constitutional" and sets a "slippery slope precedent" that could lead the state to demand all kinds of documents from candidates.
"Today we require tax returns, but what would be next?" Brown asked. "Five years of health records? A certified birth certificate? High school report cards? And will these requirements vary depending on which political party is in power."
