Why should they need to disclose this? And furthermore, why should it matter? Someone's wealth (or lack thereof) should be a factor in how we vote... if only that were the case! I agree with this!

The funny thing about ALL the candidates who say the RICH don't pay enough in taxes, and would gladly pay more because they don't need it don't DO it. I don't see any candidate who pays any more in taxes than they have to. In fact, they all take deductions. If they are certain that 'the wealthy' want to pay more ('cause I sure don't) why don't they demonstrate this? It isn't against the law to pay more than your share! I would love to see a flat tax, excempting the first $30000 of income, with NO deductions. If I remember correctly, Hillary didn’t release her 2007 data yet, she filed an extenstion.
