We can't give our tax returns because they will be attacked? [View all]

What kind of damn excuse is that? If there is nothing to attack, what's to worry? Everybody else has given their tax returns and were not attacked. Why are you any damn different? We don't want and we don't need royalty running this country. Either be straight with the people or take your lying asses back to Utah or Massachusetts, wherever the hell you call home. We are not going to have any Kings and Queens. Either be honest with the people or get the hell out of the race. Republicans are fools to support such shenanigans. This is the biggest pile of steaming crap I have heard from any campaign in my life. I am embarrassed for the American people.
