You know, if I were a reporter that his was important to me (which it wouldn't be), I would have met with all my fellow reporters before seeing the returns and agree on which sections each one of us would focus on, then pull our notes after the perusal of the returns. For example, one reporter could look at only the two summary pages and copy down each and every line; one could look at the personal income, another at the business income, another at the deductions, another at the amendments, someone to write down all partnership names for further research, another doing something else.
They didn't work together, and now they complain that they didn't have enough time. Poor babies. They could have copied every word if they simply worked together and planned it out.
Still, I don't think Simon should have felt forced to release his returns, and I think he gave them ample time and opportunity. He paid more than "his fair share" (whatever that means) and now he can focus on Davis and his failed leadership.
Go Simon!
