How come Kerry won't release his wife's tax returns?

It is what is done when you run for president. Why is she special?

Actually, i don't think there's much of a precedent for the spouse of the non-incumbant's financial records...

I may be wrong, though. Unless there is reason to believe there was criminal activity, i say we really have no right or business to see them, unless they are offered willingly. It certainly does look good for Bush, though, that he willingly and openly showed his. If Kerry's wife doesn't want to give that benefit of openness, that is her prerogative.

Candidates and spouses have always shows their tax returns. They press even forces Geraldine Ferro's husband to show his.

It is a fair request, and she will eventually be forced to open up her tax forms. After all, she is the money machine in the relationship. I notice they don't file "joint" but "seprate".

He shows himself as a humble earner for political purposes, yet is the beneficiary of a huge unreported cash flow.

I should be so lucky!

He is also the richest senator. Its just like the Condi rice thing, whether its a cover up or not. not releasing or not talking makes it look like you have something to hide.
