If I remember my history correct here (Baddog might be able to fill in).... Ford did not run for President and win. He assumed the office when Nixon resigned, and then when he ran for President he lost.

I disagree with this. It's not for political show; It's to prove that that the candidate has nothing to hide. It's called transparency. Without transparency we shouldn't elect them to office.

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.

But this is now expected of a candidate.
Trump said he would release his taxes. He hasn't. Why not? What does he have to hide?
Do we need to have an investigation?
