PNWest
America's BEST American: Impartial and Bipartisan
PNWest, the most impartial and most bipartisan poster of all time says that it should be a legal requirement for any person running for any elective office at the state or national level be required to release their latest 10 years of tax returns, all tax returns filed when they are in office and their tax returns for the ten years after they leave office.
A Senator or congressman of the USA receives a salary of $174,000. For example - $45,582,260 was spent by Ted Cruz in last year's Texas Senate race. Why should anyone spend $45 million to get a job that pays $174,000 unless there was more in it for themsleves? Beto O'Rourke spent even more, $79,091,894 trying to get the same job. That does not make sense. These massive amounts of money do nothing but create an environment where corruption flourishes. Forcing the release of these politicians tax returns would make it easier to see if/when and how political payoffs were being made.
This should not be a partisan effort. Both parties are corrupt and we as Americans should fix it.
