Both Cruz and Rubio are frauds.

Do you seriously think that posting that on every thread somehow makes it true?

Enough with the taxes. None of the candidates have shown theirs. Frankly, it’s none of anyone’s business what their incomes are or how much they deducted for charity. I don’t care one way or the other.

I don't think any candidate should have to publicize their tax returns. However, it is always the Republicans who end up doing it, to the great pleasure of the MSM.

I also don't think a candidate should have to release tax returns. Financial disclosure forms... a different matter.

However, it is a case of blinding hypocrisy since Cruz insinuated that Trump might be a "TAX FRAUD" in stressing the need for Trump to release immediately.

Now he's violated his OWN self-pledge. Just another broken promise. No big deal.

If I were forced to release my tax returns, because Cruz apparently now believes as a “conservative” principle people have a “right” to know whats in your tax returns ... but anyway, if, say, a despot like a President Cruz forced me to make my tax returns public, I could walk into my office, open a drawer, remove the returns for any of the past 10 years or so, photocopy them, and slap them on the desk inside of 10 minutes.

Ted Cruz promised in the debate Thursday night to release twin more years worth of tax returns, as a tactic to pressure billionaire Donald Trump to release his own tax records.

Exactly who wants to see the tax returns? I honestly do not believe that the voters really care.

Only the opposition really wants to see them to prove that they, the opposition, can get their targets to say "uncle" or dutifully provide something that is not required by law. Then they will sift through them to find something to criticize.

Is that not so?!

Past tax returns... either in a physical file or stored electronically take no time to gather. It is simple, you either open the drawer and pull them out or you click on a computer file and click print, therefore, it is safe to presume that this is nothing more than cheap a political stunt bluff in hopes of garnering more hatred towards Trump.

Even Mark Levin said yesterday that if he was Trump's lawyer, he would advise him NOT to release records subject to audit.

And so it seems that what we have here are two political hacks, who have never owned a business, trying to tell an established and accomplished business man how to run his business, and their voting zombies are eating it up.

But not releasing his returns doesn’t stop Ted from crowing that Trump hasn’t released his. Old Ted’s a real piece of work.

Cruz released several years of returns when he ran for Senate. The rest are coming, unlike from Trump.

The Democrats do it too. Hillary has released her returns for every year from 2000 to 2014, inclusive. Obama, Biden, and Bill Clinton have all done it too.You are correct, it isn't and shouldn't be mandatory, but it has become a tradition and failure to do so invariably raises questions.

But you can’t demand others to release theirs if you have not done so yourself.

“I can’t BELIEVE I ever sent this guy money.”

Me too thought I have never sent him money. I did initially support his run for Pres but switched to Trump. What fraud he has turned out to be.

THIS.

There’s nothing requiring the candidates to release tax records. NoYB.

Ted/s father, Rafael Cruz, delivered a sermon in August, 2012 where he discusses how Christians should "take dominion over the earth." Cruz goes on to define what that means, saying "dominion is over every area -- society, education, government, economics..." ..... and as a practical matter pols take money from bankers and return it to pastors.

Can/t wait to see Cruz/s tax returns. Cruz/s economic libertarianism dovetails nicely w/ globalist Goldman/Sachs---who financed Ted into office.....G/S is Heidi's $700,000 a year employer. So it looks like the Cruz/s got a headstart on dominionist plans to get money from bankers and return it to pastors.

JUST WONDERING: What role would Cruz give his father in a Cruz administration?

RAFAEL CRUZ DECLARES TED THE ANOINTED ONE
In a 2013 interview with Christian Broadcasting Networks' David Brody. Cruz said he told Ted: You know Ted, you have been gifted above any man that I know and God has destined you for greatness.

His dad goes on to suggest that his son Ted is destined to save freedom in America, and even CBN/s Brody called Cruz/s political career a thing of God.

Cruz is the biggest liar of any candidate running. I am astonished how easy it is for him to to lie. Thank God we found out before he ruined our country even more with his lies, thievery and fraud. We are lucky we dodged this jerk.

He has already released 5 years of them. So he didn’t get the next ones out by the day he thought he would. I don’t believe Trump has released any.
