DON LEMON (HOST): If it doesn't show, the tax returns and I know this is a bit -- everyone keeps saying, why do you keep asking about the tax returns. Because every other presidential candidate has done it since the 1970s. If the tax returns won't be indicative as you say of how much money he has and how much he's worth, then why not just release them? Or why not release the years that are not under audit.

BARRY BENNETT: Well, he's talking about releasing the years that are under audit as soon as the audit's been completed. But I mean all that's going to show to everybody is what his marginal tax rate, that's the big story of the day, that’s the number that you all -- and charitable contributions and what his marginal tax rate is. But I'm telling you nobody in America cares. They care far more what their marginal tax rate is than they care about Donald Trump's.

[...]

LEMON: Here's what newspaper editorial boards are calling on. They're calling on Donald Trump to release his tax returns, saying that he “should be willing to show he's lived up to his tax obligations” and “that voters deserve better than Trump's haughty contempt.” And that is “refusal to release them is 'paternalistic and insulting.'”
