He turned a deaf ear to calls from his critics for his tax returns at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a key swing state where he is lagging behind Clinton in the polls. “Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns”, Palmieri continued.

The Clintons have disclosed tax returns for every year since 1977.
Trump could become the first major-party nominee to not release returns since 1976.
But so far, with Trump being an unconventional candidate, he’s bucked this tradition.
The Clinton campaign attacked her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, for failing to make his own tax documents public.
Clinton and her husband Bill, the former president, reported 10.6 million USA dollar in income for 2015.
While technically anyone making more than $415,000 per year is subject to a 39.6 percent tax rate, there are a wide array of tax breaks that allow them to lower that rate substantially, often well below the rates paid by middle-income earners.
The bulk of the Clintons’ income came from Bill Clinton’s speeches-he was paid $5.2 million in speaking fees in 2015. “Americans” best days are still ahead of us if we make up our minds to actually go out and make that happen”.
‘I want more Americans to have the chance to work hard and get ahead, just like we did. And since Bill and Hillary Clinton have raked in almost $240 million since 2000, they ought to have some savings squirreled away for a rainy day.
Also in 2010, Bill Clinton was appointed honorary chairman of a nonprofit associated with Gems Education, which is based in Dubai and operates mainly in the Middle East.
Democrats believe Mr Trump’s returns could be a treasure trove of politically damaging information.
Trump said last fall that women will earn the same salaries as men if they “do as good a job”. They have now released their tax returns for every one of the last 39 years.
Trump has said that he’s under an audit by the Internal Revenue Service and won’t release his returns until that audit is concluded – which may not happen before the November 8 election.
Trump, on the other hand, has refused to release any of his tax returns – a huge departure from political norms.
Clinton, who has campaigned on a platform of bolstering federal support for new parents and female workers, said that Trump has only recently started paying attention to these issues.

“I’m under audit, too, and I would be delighted to meet him anyplace, anytime, before the election”, Buffett said.
