DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush plans Tuesday to release 33 years of his personal income tax returns, including before and after his two terms as Florida governor.

Campaign spokeswoman Allie Brandenburger says Bush's decision "is consistent with the high level of disclosure he has practiced during his life in public office."

Bush aides contend the information is more than any previous presidential candidate. The voluntary disclosure also is aimed at drawing a contrast with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. She has filed the filed the financial disclosure form required by the Federal Election Commission for presidential candidates but has not made public her tax returns, a more precise record of income.

Bush's decision to release the information was first published by The Wall Street Journal.

1. To GOP Operatives

2. Jeb Bush will NOT release tax returns during his 2 terms in office? why not?

[cstanleytech]

4. Maybe its me misreading it because to me it sounds like they "are" release those as well

not that its matter because I sure as hell wouldnt vote for him as 2 Shrubs were enough trouble for this country and we we dont need a 3rd in office.

[Sunlei]

6. sounds like, but why didn't Bush state "during his two terms"?

"including before and after his two terms" sounds to me like more of republicans word tricks to hide a corrupt State Governor.

15. He is releasing the last 33 years of returns.

That includes the 8 years as governor.

3. cant hide those taxes

Good for Jebs I guess

On the other hand all Dem candidates should release 30 years taxes it would makes us look bad if any our candidates refuse/decline to do so.

[cstanleytech]

7. But are the returns really relevant?

I mean most of the candidates who are running for offices like this are clearly wealthy which means of course they have investments in x corporations but does it tell who would be a better president?

[CTBlueboy]

8. Are they relevant ?

Yes they are

We criticize Republicans for being secretive and ask for transparency when talking about taxes returns (Mitt Romney) why shouldn't the same rules apply for our Candidates

Sanders
Clinton
O'malley

All need to release their tax returns

[cstanleytech]

10. But how does it tell us that a candidate will be a good president?

[CTBlueboy]

11. maybe maybe not

why should any candidate be reluctant to hide his/her tax returns from the people that will be voting for him/her.


Example :If a candidate said they were for pro-environment and yet they own tons of stocks in an oil company how can we trust him/her on that issue.

[cstanleytech]

12. Owning stock in an oil company mean they arent pro-environment though.

Voting no or having a history of not supporting things like investing in alternative energy sources to replace oil in the long term is a sign of not being pro-environment.

[former9thward]

16. We were told they were relevant when Romney was asked to do it.

5. En Español?

9. The real money is nowhere near American tax records.
