Hillary Rodham Clinton and her Democratic running mate, Tim Kaine, have released their tax returns.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time for Donald Trump and his running Republican running mate, MIke Pence, to do the same.<\/p>\n

This issue will not go away. Nor should it as long as Trump continues to hide behind some kind of phony excuse about the Internal Revenue Service audit.<\/p>\n

IRS officials say an audit doesn’t prevent someone from releasing returns to the public.<\/p>\n

Here’s an interesting twist to the Trump refusal to do what other presidential candidates have been doing since 1976: it’s that he has been insisting that President Obama release his academic records at Harvard; he bitched about the president’s birth, insisting that he release his birth certificate to prove he actually was born in the United States.<\/p>\n

Now, with the focus on his own tax returns — and his continuing boasts about\u00a0how rich and successful he has been — Trump refuses to let us all in on what should be public knowledge.<\/p>\n

How much is he really worth? How much has he given to charity? How much does he pay in taxes? What is the nature of his foreign investments?<\/p>\n

We’ve seen Hillary Clinton’s returns. She and her husband made a lot of money this past year. They also paid a significant portion in taxes. They gave to charity, although most of that charitable giving went to their foundation.<\/p>\n

It’s your turn, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n
