Kaine, on the other hand, will release the last 10 years of his own tax returns.
Trump has claimed that he can not release tax returns because he is being audited.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is set Thursday to deliver an economic policy speech in which she will propose “the largest investment in good-paying jobs” since World War II. What is he trying to hide?’
Like Donald Trump earlier this week, Hillary Clinton went to MI to convince middle-class voters that her economic plan would bring them better jobs, higher wages and an economic vitality that even eight years after the recession eludes so many.
The Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees released tax returns dating back 10 years, plainly laying out their respective effective tax rates on Clinton’s website.
While presidential candidates aren’t mandated to release their returns, it’s become an expected rite of passage if you’re a major party nominee.
When asked what his tax rate was exactly, Trump responded, “It’s none of your business”.
Along with the taxes, Ms Clinton’s campaign released a video featuring Republican leaders saying Mr Trump should make his filings public. He has said he is unlikely to do so before the November 8 presidential election.

Of their total gross income past year, the former president and the current Democratic nominee gave almost 10 percent to charity. The New Jersey gambling commission records showed that he paid minimal – if any – taxes in 1991 and 1993, according to the New York Times.
At an appearance in Miami Beach, Florida, hours before Clinton’s speech, Trump said his rival “wants to tax and regulate our economy to death”. Although Trump has said his tax payments are “substantial”, his real estate holdings offer numerous ways to reduce tax liability.
The Clintons, for their part, paid an effective federal tax rate of 35 per cent in 2015, a slightly higher figure than the 31.55 per cent they paid from 2007 to 2014.
THE FACTS: Clinton came late to opposing the TPP: She called it the “gold standard” of trade deals when she was Secretary of State.
