He's "written-off" the voters who care about ethics, and the voters who care whether a candidate is honest. The entire attitude of the BS campaign has just been so insulting to the American voters (as well as to the other candidates).

Earlier, I saw someone's post who suggested that no candidate should be allowed on the debate stage if they have not yet released their full tax returns (ten years worth, perhaps?)

That sounds like an EXCELLENT idea to me! Why should we even be WASTING OUR TIME with ANY candidate who isn't serious enough about honesty and transparency? He (or she) can just sit quietly on the sideline until he (or she) decides to show their full tax returns.

Look, I don't care if the candidate is rich enough to be a part of the 1%. I want to know WHERE the money is coming from. I want to see that the taxes have been paid, in full and on time. I want to know what the deductions and write-off's are. I want to know WHERE the money is being saved and invested (domestically, or in one of those "off shore tax havens&quot .

American DESERVE to know the truth.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
