Election-Altering 2020 Election Tax Announcement Terrifies Trump & GOP.There is quickly becoming a movement by the states to force the president to release his tax returns, as several states are saying they won’t put him on the ballot in 2020 unless he does so. Eighteen states have considered legislation this year that would require presidential and vice presidential candidates to post their tax returns to appear on the ballot during a primary or general election. According to NPR:.‘THE DEMOCRATIC-LED ILLINOIS SENATE VOTED THURSDAY TO COMPEL PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RELEASE FIVE YEARS’ WORTH OF HIS PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURNS OR BE BARRED FROM APPEARING ON THE STATE’S PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT NEXT YEAR’.. The debate in the Illinois statehouse was contentious although Trump’s name wasn’t mentioned once by the legislation’s sponsor, state Senator Tony Munoz (D). Munoz, wanting to shed more transparency on the presidential campaign, said:.‘IF YOU WANT TO RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT OR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HEY, WHAT’S WRONG WITH PROVIDING YOUR TAX RETURNS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS?’. He went on to say:.‘IF YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE, YOU SHOULDN’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. THAT’S HOW I SEE IT.’.Since before Trump was elected, Democrats have been trying to get him to release his tax returns in hopes it will highlight his corrupt business transactions especially with foreign powers like Russia. NPR reported:.‘LAST WEEK, HOUSE DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON MADE A FORMAL DEMAND TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND TREASURY DEPARTMENT FOR ACCESS TO TRUMP’S TAXES, BUT A CONGRESSIONAL DEADLINE TO PRODUCE THE DOCUMENTS PASSED WITHOUT ACTION BY TRUMP’S ADMINISTRATION’.. In New York state, Democrats have tried to gain access to Trump’s state tax returns which hopefully would highlight similar information regardless of whether the federal returns were released. Republicans in Illinois complained about the proposed bill and insisted the requirement of taxes for running for the country’s highest office was unconstitutional. They said that it selectively avoided other officeholders, including the state’s new governor, Democrat JB Pritzker. Senator Dale Righter (R) said:.‘THIS IS QUITE FRANKLY, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE SPONSOR, AN EMBARRASSING WASTE OF THE SENATE’S TIME. ‘THIS IS BEING PUSHED BY A FAR-LEFTIST ORGANIZATION FROM THE CITY OF CHICAGO THAT WANTS TO BE ABLE TO GET UP AND CHIRP ABOUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WE OUGHT TO BE BETTER THAN THIS.’.According to NPR:.‘RIGHTER’S REFERENCE WAS TO SEVERAL LOCAL AFFILIATES OF INDIVISIBLE, AN ANTI-TRUMP ORGANIZATION. THE INDIVISIBLE GROUPS FILED SLIPS OF SUPPORT FOR MUNOZ’S LEGISLATION AHEAD OF THURSDAY’S FLOOR VOTE’.. The legislation will move on to the Illinois House, which is also controlled by Democrats and could likely pass although Governor Pritzker has not taken a public position on the bill. States who have considered similar bills include Washington, California, Hawaii and New Jersey. Measures like this one failed earlier this year in Republican states including Mississippi, New Mexico and New Hampshire. New Jersey state Senator Loretta Weinberg (D), a co-sponsor of the bill approved by the state senate in February, said:. ‘IT IS SO OBVIOUS WITH THIS PRESIDENT THAT HAD VOTERS KNOWN SOME OF WHAT SEEM TO BE HIS BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT’. .
