“I don’t think there’s any reason for a candidate to reveal their personal financial records,”
In this day and age where all our candidates are career politicians who have been milking the crony-socialist system from the day they graduated law school, you see no reason for them to show how they became the government-made millionaires they are?
I said they should be reviewed by an independent auditor, and an opinion rendered regarding the completeness and legality of their taxes. The actual details of everyone’s financial lives, if legal, are nobody else’s business.
Likewise, a candidate’s medical history should be private, excepting that each candidate should get a report by an independent physician, with that doctor’s opinion about their fitness for office. If there are any specific concerns (like Cheney had with his heart condition) it is OK to discuss that, but the whole details of the whole medical history are nobody else’s business.
