Republicans blasted the decision to release the returns, warning that the move will usher in a new era of disclosing personal financial documents as a \u201cpolitical weapon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What you see in the preceding paragraph comes from The Hill newspaper, quoting Republicans who are critical of a decision to release Donald Trump’s tax returns, turning them over to public inspection.<\/p>\n

They are wrong to fear the weaponizing of tax returns.<\/p>\n

The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee today voted along party lines to release six years of Trump’s taxes. The ex-president fought their release. He didn’t want to disclose to the public what previous presidents and presidential candidates had done since 1976.<\/p>\n

So, what in the world should GOP officials fear now?<\/p>\n

House Ways and Means Democrats who voted to release the tax returns now will give the public an inside look at the tax burden — or lack of burden — the one-time president had to bear while he was demanding that you and I pay our taxes.<\/p>\n

It’s fair game.<\/p>\n
