Why Does He Resist?

The idea of a Federal Income Tax was born in this country (circ. 1917) to create revenue for the government to provide the services our elected members of the Legislative Branch deemed necessary.  From it's outset there was an element of honesty required of our citizen tax-payers to participate in a fair and equitable manner.

But, over the years, for reasons of greed or feelings of hostility to the ambitions of the government, many have become tax cheats.  However, anyone who has had faith in our institutions and has made an honest effort to comply with the rules that apply to us all would have no reason not to reveal themselves.

Apparently, we have a current President who has not been playing by the rules or lacks making an honest tax-paying effort.  I mean, all he does is develop business and residential properties and collect the rent from them, right?  But why his reluctance to cooperate with what appears to be a legal request by a Congressional oversight Committee.  Sad.
