California Passes Measure Requiring Presidential Candidates To Release Tax Returns

[Kondor3]

More sheer insanity from the People's Demokratik Socialist Republik of Kalipornia... the Land of Fruits and Nuts.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Do these politicians not realize that Americans will view this as yet, just another attempt to harm the president specifically?

These are great tactics to not just prevent Trump but also all future businessmen, of which many want their affairs to remain private. I wonder how Steyer will feel about this...maybe it was designed to impact him as well...

He's on the democrat clown bus.

If Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the bill, Donald Trump would have to release his taxes in order to get on the state’s 2020 primary ballot.

The California Legislature has overwhelmingly passed a measure requiring all presidential and gubernatorial candidates to release their tax returns to get on the primary ballot, which could shake things up for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

The Presidential Tax Transparency & Accountability Act, SB 27, would require that the candidates release the previous five years of their returns. The bill passed 57-17 in the Assembly on Tuesday and 29-10 in the state Senate Thursday. It now awaits the signature of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to become law.

The measure includes an urgency clause, which would allow the legislation to take effect immediately, in time for the 2020 election, reports ABC-7 News.

Great news! Hopefully more states will follow.

In our nation there are many families that have massive power. California has at least 4 extended families that control the state. Newsom's, Pelosi's, Brown's and Feinsteins's. Tell us about freedom.

Nope. California votes would not be counted because the ballots were non conforming.

Nonconforming to what? States can conduct their own primaries.

A state can not make demands on a persons qualifications to run for President.

Why not? Especially if it applies equally to everyone? Plus, states have control over their own primaries.

GOOD ASSHOLE. Then I'll pass a law in 30 states saying Democrats need not apply. Republicans and Independents only.

Then we can pass a law saying no black guys with big floppy ears ashamed of their country, no fat dumpy women wearing tents who fall down and certainly no one can run supporting illegal immigration!

HOW'S THAT?

If a candidate cannot reveal how he or she is contributing to our country, this person should not be allowed on the ballot. An honest person has nothing to hide.

So, what law is Trump accused of that the state of California can violate his privacy rights?

Sounds like newsome found a way to extort federal tax dollars to bail out his socialist state.

Go California! May other states soon follow!

Unconstitutional.

Make your point.

So, if Governor Newsom signs it - Trump will have to produce his tax returns to get on the 2020 California primary ballot.

No, he won't.

 

[lennypartiv]

Democrats have no business asking for someone's private tax returns.

....

How many times are you going to ignore the hard fact that there is not going to be a Republican primary. This will not have any effect on trump whatsoever.

Why not?

 

[Claudette]

The requirements for president are listed in the Constitution. States cannot add to them short of a Constitutional amendment..

Yup. And you won't find revealing private tax returns as one of those requirements.

Seems the Governors of some states don't know shit about the Constitution.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

A State can not put conditions on someone legally allowed to run for President.

they can put conditions on who is on their ballot.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

An honest person has nothing to hide.

Really?

So we should just throw out the Fourth Amendment, then. If an honest person has nothing to hide, then there's no reason why we should object to the Police having unlimited power to search anyone or anyone's property without a warrant.

can we find collecting some arbitrary number of signatures among those requirements?

and what difference does it make if Trump does or doesn't get on the ballot the communist republic of California will always vote democrat they fixed the election laws so no other party stands a chance

It has been the custom for every president to release his tax returns. Now the slut in the Oval Office will not release his, and thinks that he has the powers of a dictator. When will he be responsible? When will his administration be transparent, as we all expect? He must be hiding something, and something big.
