So true questions, and i, for one, am sick of the McCain double standard, the free passes and the idea that his being elected president is an entitlement. ENOUGH ALREADY!
All candidates at the national level and their spouses should have to reveal their tax returns.
If you have to hide where your money is coming from, what else are you going to hide?
I will leave state level candidates' revelations to the states.
I'm not overly worried if she doesn't release any tax info, but it does make you wonder why she's hesitant to do so...
She is not running for office and I'm sure the 'numbers' would take our breath. Good for her!
Mac in '09!!
Though I can in no way agree with "Mac in 09" or any other year, I agree with HER. She is a private citizen, neither candidate nor elected official, and she in no way owes the public her tax information. I assert the Republicans' right to privacy even if they don't think anybody else should have any.
"I assert the Republicans' right to privacy even if they don't think anybody else should have any."
That's one of the major differences between us and them.
Clinton didn't fully disclose. Kerry didn't fully disclose. Gore didn't fully disclose. So what?
Wrong AGAIN. Try a few seconds of Google - it is really enlightening sometimes.
Clinton published his tax returns for eight straight years.
During the 2004 presidential election, the Tax History Project published tax returns released by the Democratic candidate, Sen. John Kerry.

Al Gore published his tax returns while he was VP.

My bad, Clinton and Gore's tax records are on line, however, the full breakdown of their investments prior to being in the White House were never broken down. But again, this isn't the first time the spouse of a candidate didn't release information. Teresa Heinz Kerry set the standards for this. She and John filed separate tax returns. When he was running the DNC leadership didn't have a problem with that. Now when it's a GOP candidate "they're trying to hide something". Give me a break. You whine about equal rights and policies but only when they benefit you.
It was the media and the GOP that griped about Theresa NOT releasing her tax returns.
THAT is the irony and the hypocrisy. There will not be another peep about this after this story dies.
"She is not running for office and I'm sure the 'numbers' would take our breath. Good for her!"
She isn't running for office? Well, not technically, but she will be living in the White House at the taxpayers' expense, traveling on the taxpayers' dime, and has sway with, in theory, the most politically powerful man on Earth. For either you or her to claim "her husband is running, not her," is a call for her to cough up her returns, or divorce her husband and live somewhere else.
Again, Kerry's wife never opened her books and she certainly has more than the McCain's.
Sorry, she DID open her books. She published SOME of her 2003 tax return and the NYT did an extensive review of that data.
Not according to MSNBC
