It's all for political show.

So the next time you hear a "reporter" on the news say that Trump is the first President in "40 years" to not show his income taxes...that's because NOBODY did before Nixon did it in 1973.

It's a political stunt. Nothing more.

I never said Trump was the first one to not release his taxes. I'm well aware he is not the first. That said, in the modern age where corruption in the government seems rampant, I think we deserve to know where candidate's interests lie and tax returns can show just that.
