Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have released their tax return information while both attacking Donald Trump, who refuses to release his.
On Saturday the Florida senator and the Texas senator made public up to fiver years previous tax information hoping to shame Trump into letting voters see his, too.
Rubio released summaries of five tax years Saturday and Cruz later released summaries of four years, from 2011 to 2014, according to NBC News.
Cruz accused Donald Trump of hiding his tax returns from voters during Sunday's broadcast of 'Face The Nation'.
Cruz said Trump could be hiding as many as five years-worth of returns.
'Trump said in the debate...'Gosh, I'm being audited, for two years'. Then he said 'three years'.
Then he said 'maybe five years'. Listen, if there's a problem in his taxes, the voters have a right to know,'
'Because come September, October, the general election, folks in the media are going to make a hayday about any problems in his taxes.
'And I think primary voters have a right to know,' Cruz said during the broadcast.

"But look closer at the bolder portion. It never says that the father has to be a citizen of the United States at the time the child is born. All it says is that citizenship "shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States." It is indisputable that Rafael Cruz was in the United States for a period of time prior to both Ted’s birth and his marriage to native born American citizen Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson in 1969. He fled Cuba in 1957 at the age of 18, arriving in Texas. There, he attended the University of Texas, graduating with a degree in mathematics in 1961. He even married his first wife there, Julia Ann Garza, in 1959. They later divorced, but not before he had two daughters with her. He was also granted political asylum in 1961 upon his graduation from UT.
In other words, Ted Cruz's birth meets everything required in this 1790 act. His mother, Eleanor Wilson, was a citizen by birth in the United States, fulfilling the requirement of a child being born to at least one citizen, and his father had lived in the United States for years and been granted political asylum here prior to his move to Canada."
There are more citations at the Link if you "really" see this as an issue...
go Planned Parenthood, go neutrality on Israel v Palestinians, go single payer, eh? think about it.
Your own quotes from the law show you wrong and you twist them to suit your purposes.
Did you ask Christie if Trump still thinks he voted for Obama?
Suit yourself.
It’s been said:
“You’re entitled to your own opinion, but you aren’t entitled to your own facts.”
"Never argue with fools, they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"
Good day
So what is in their tax returns? Anything of interest?
They just said on Fox News that Cruz and Rubio have only released a summary of their tax returns and not their real returns. What are they hiding?
We can of course take your word for what happens behind closed doors because you are a psychic or have cameras installed all these rooms or snuck in and listen to yourself or oh wait you don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors. I love the way people assume they know everything when actually they’re just imposing their worldview
Please feel free to sight in the following laws we are natural born citizens defined, you will have a very hard time with this because the only time the founders ever wrote in law the meaning of natural born citizen is the law of 1790 this of course would by definition provide the only guidance to the original intent of the founders as to the meaning of the term
Let me know when Runio shows up for work and they both give back the donations from the Stalwarts backing their campaigns.
I don’t know. I’m in support of them releasing all of it. And you, you surely support Trump doing the same, right? I mean he’s worth 10 billion, he says. Shouldn’t he be proud to show us that he’s worth all that he’s bragged about?
It's a fool's game and fishing trip by those who exhort him to release his returns.
Frankly, I can't understand your position - the law you cite states born of citizen parents, that is the ordinate clause, and the subordinate, or the additional requirement, if you prefer, is that the father must have lived in the country. Had it been written that the person must have been born of a citizen parent; singular, then your contention is correct with the additional requirement of residency in the US of the father, irrespective of the other parent's.
So let's rewrite it to fit your interpretation:
And the children that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States of fathers who have been resident in the United States shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That one parent is a citizen of the United States.
One can argue with the exact wording I present above, but it is exactly what you are asserting. Claiming that the founders intended it to be written that way begs the question - if that was why they meant, why not write it so?
Why should any presidential candidate release tax returns? Now we are rooting for the IRS? This is insane!
My response was solely to the law in question and I feel I have made my interpretation as clear as possible.
I'm not going to play the game of providing multiple findings to defend my position; I provided my interpretation of the 1790 law as cited by the poster. If you find flaw with that interpretation, please feel free to elaborate. Otherwise, take your request for research elsewhere.

The more of this garbage you post, the sillier you look.
I already posted to you about the conditions if an audit. No, are you incapable of reading, or did you actually not comprehend what I wrote?
No. I think that those who haven’t released their own tax returns to the public have no grounds to insist others do so.
Also, when you applied for your job, did you have to submit your tax return along with your resume? How about your medical records?
