Washington Post-Enough with the excuses, It's time for Sanders to release his tax returns

143. It is troubling - one wonders why he's so obstinate on this point.

Of course we can only speculate, but I cannot think of any positive reasons why he has dodged releasing his tax returns for the last ten (or even just three) years - but there are plenty of more insidious reasons that come to mind.

- Is he ashamed of his earnings? Ashamed because they are too small (hardly likely, considering his political platform, but what do I know?)
- Or because they are too high? Embarrassing to be a millionaire when you rail against millionaires.
- Is he frantically changing them to hide damaging info? Things that will counter his political platform? Is his fortune invested on hated and reviled Wall Street, perhaps? In hedge funds or big pharma? Overseas?
- Or perhaps because he is running out the clock on tax evasion? The statute of limitations is three years, so if he has problems with his 2015 filings, that might be the reason.

Plenty of damaging reasons, but as I said, I cannot think of one positive reason to avoid releasing one's tax returns when it is expected of political candidates, and one's party (sic) is trying to build a case against a president who has plenty of nefarious economic dealings which the party hopes to expose thru the release of said president's tax returns.
