Every other first lady has released their records. Most of them didnt support their husbands financially during their campaigns either. So why does she refuse. Its not a law that she has to, but it leaves people to beleive that shes hiding something. It would be nice to know whose going to be living in the white house.
This becomes politically critical, because no previous presidential candidate relied so much on his spouse's wealth. Without backing from Heinz ketchup money, it is fair to say John Kerry would not be his party's presidential standard-bearer and probably would not even be a U.S. senator today. Thus, refusal to release his wife's tax returns inevitably raises suspicions, however ill-founded, that the Kerrys have something to hide.
