No. Why don't you try reading them and get back to me when you figure it out. I'm not going to repeat myself.
Is there a precedent for releasing speeches like the one that exists for taxes? Anyway, Trump won't release his taxes for many reasons: 1) because his effective tax rate is absurdly low 2) he doesn't make as much as he claims and is nowhere near a billionaire 3) his donations to NAMBLA.
Here's an example of the kind of speeches she gives:
he's probably got years of passive losses from businesses and investments that offset most of his gains and cap gains is lower than wage rate and doubtful trump has a salary. you also cant tell what his net worth is from just taxes doofus

Seriously, though, I know a tax return wouldn't report his wealth. But we could get a better look at some of his income claims. Claims like income of over 500m in 2015 despite getting tax breaks for people who make less than 500k.
He's a billionaire like you're a good poster.

exactly... if people wanted transparent, trustworthy, and honest candidates to represent them as president of the united states, they would have never picked these two... the fact that they are the two that are representing the major parties proves their supporters don't care anything about that....

Hillary Clinton made $10 million last year and paid a third of that in taxes

Hillary Clinton released her 2015 tax returns Friday, showing that she made a combined $10 million last year and paid about a third of that in federal income taxes.
The Democratic presidential nominee's 2015 tax returns, which she filed jointly with her husband Bill Clinton, show that the couple paid a federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and donated 9.8 percent of their income to charity. Factoring in state and local taxes, their effective tax rate was 43.2 percent. That tax rate complies with the Buffett Rule, which Clinton supports, that proposes anyone who makes $1 million or more in adjusted gross annual income should pay at least 30 percent in taxes.
The returns show that the Clintons' made about $10 million last year, which is a significant drop from the year before, when the duo reported a combined income of about $28 million.
The power couple made the bulk of their money in 2015 from paid speeches and book sales. Bill Clinton made more $5.25 million in speaking fees, while his wife made nearly $1.5 from paid speeches. This is also a drop from the year before, when the couple made $20 million from speaking fees.
Hillary Clinton also earned $3 million in book sales last year. Between January 2014 to April 2015, Clinton raked in a cool $5 million for her book "Hard Choices," according to acampaign finance report released earlier this year.
The move to release the Clintons' latest recent tax returns puts increased pressure on Trump to do the same. He has repeatedly refused to do so, because, he says, he is currently being audited by Internal Revenue Service. He has also said they are no one else's business.
"Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine continue to set the standard for financial transparency as she releases her 2015 personal tax return and builds on the Clintons' tradition of making their returns public since 1977 and Kaine releases 10 years of his returns," said Hillary for America Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri in a statement. "In stark contrast, Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns. He has failed to provide the public with the most basic financial information disclosed by every major candidate in the last 40 years. What is he trying to hide?"
The IRS says Trump is free to release his tax returns even while undergoing an audit.
Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, also release the past ten years of his tax returns on Friday. The most recent return show that he and he wife, Anne Holton, earned $313,441 in 2015.

trump's appeal is built on him being a successful billionaire business man. his tax returns will expose him as less than a billionaire, not as successful, and show he bends (perhaps even breaks) the tax code so he pays far less than the middle class american. he probably also donates far less of his personal income to charity than he claims. these revelations would crush him politically and professionally. the ultimate fraud exposure.
hillary claims her private speeches hold monetary value and releasing them for free would be unfair to those that paid for her insider input. personally i think that's bs, but i also think there's probably not many dubious things to be found. doubt she has any "47%" moments to speak of. although there could be some policy flip flops or inconsistencies which could be embarrassing.
at the end of the day trump probably stands to lose much more than hillary does. if hillary offered to release her speeches for trump's taxes i'm sure he wouldn't bite or he would pull some fukkery.

I don't care if Trump is worth $5 billion, $1 billion, $500 million or $50 million. How he achieved his wealth, while not entirely pure, is much more preferable to me than a grifter who sells political influence, often to most vile pieces of shyt planet Earth has to offer, to net almost $200 million since leaving office, especially to Wall Street, her fictional adversary to impress Main Street.

I'm more interested in what she paid in 2005, 2008, 2011. Got any headlines on that?

This is just money that was directly paid to Hillary and Bill. That 34% tax rate is highly misleading considering they shelter a good portion of their wealth through their foundation.
