April 15th is typically tax day in the United States (this year it's the 18th because of the weekend), but today there are over 150 rallies and marches calling for President Trump to release his tax returns and to implement a fair tax system for all. It all began with a tweet from a law school teacher, Jennifer Taub, who tweeted "#showusyourtaxes protest." As a candidate, Trump said he would release his taxes after they were audited, but he never did. Trump is the only modern U.S. president since Richard Nixon who has not released his returns. Some polls show that 75% of Americans want Trump to release his returns. The returns would show how Trump invests his money, makes his money and how much tax he actually paid. It's a matter of transparency. All signs from President Trump indicate that he will not release his tax returns.
On June 6, 2012, President Trump tweeted: "Why is @BarackObama spending millions to try and hide his records? He is the least transparent President--ever--and he ran on transparency."
This is a false statement, however Trump is actually following this by being transparent to us and spending millions of dollars. I believe that our president should release his tax returns. People have the right to know what he is doing in office and how he spends his money.

I find it irritating that Trump has criticized Obama for things such as this yet he has done the exact same thing within the last four months.
