About Those Tax Returns, Mr. Trump

Mr. Trump refused to release his tax returns. He said he could not because he was being audited. This is nonsense. A taxpayer need not refuse to release tax returns because he’s in an audit. No law compels a taxpayer to release returns. Mr. Trump is within his rights refusing to do so.

Why is he not releasing them? Possible reasons: He is nowhere near as successful as he has claimed; he is operating at a loss. I don’t really think his wealth is relevant. He made it relevant by bragging. Where are his achievements aside from boasting? Asks Ben Stein in The American Spectator.

Ben Stein is a writer, actor, and lawyer who served as a speechwriter in the Nixon administration as the Watergate scandal unfolded.
