It is usually done more as a courtesy than anything.

Absolutely not. We have strict laws requiring that candidates disclose information about their finances. Those disclosures sometimes raise questions about the ethics or legality of the person's activities. In the interest of being above reproach, candidates also release their tax returns. For the past 40 years, nearly every person running for President has released his returns.

Financial disclosures, yes, but tax form is a different thing. Please point me to the federal law that says a presidental candidate must release a tax return. States may require one to be on the ballot, but I don't recall a federal law.


No previous candidate for President in the US had a Swiss bank account.

So what? Having a Swiss bank account is NOT a crime. You do know that Romney's assets have long been in a blind trust and he doesn't control where the money goes.

Refusing to further answer those questions leaves the candidate open to suspicion, something to which his party would object. GOP primary voters took a huge risk on this guy, even though the potentially explosive problems were pointed out by his opponents.
You chose him, he's all yours.
Hey, we all know Romney is super rich. So it looks suspicious, so does the fact that Obama's never released school records or Selective Service records and his passport /visa records have been sealed. What's Obama hiding?
