Explain why they matter.

Congress has a greater responsibility for legislating taxes than the President does. How can you argue that the President must release multiple years (how many?) of tax returns when there's no outcry for the same from Congress?

I think job performance reports for the past several years prior to running for office would be much more relevant. I'd argue that one's personal tax return is less useful in indicating how well one might help manage the finances of a country than job reports on how well one manage a business, or a department's budget. Even large personal wealth like our candidates have tends to be dwarfed by the amount of money they had influence over in previous positions.

"Clearly they matter." Is not an argument. What information is it critical for us as voters to know that we can only get from candidates tax returns? It's the same issue as with college transcripts. It doesn't matter if we'd like to see them. If they don't offer any information that is critical for us, as voters, to know, then it's none of our business.[/quote]

Cinflicts of interest and violations of the law. Is this not obvious?  [/quote]
