Why won’t Romney show his money trail? - The Washington Post

Why won’t Romney show his money trail? - The Washington Post: "Tax returns offer information not available on the financial disclosure forms that are legally required of candidates, including their charitable deductions and use of tax shelters."

I wonder if he doesn't want either 1. Mormon's to see that he's not a full tithe payer (or pays on net!) or, more likely, 2. Non-Mormons to see that he is a full tithe payer.

I'm a little confused by this whole issue. Do most politicians put their tax returns out there for public scrutiny? Is there pressure on Romney to do it because he's rich? What incentive does he have to reveal more personal information than is required?

I couldn't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure that they normally do release these things. Or at least, they are usually called on to do so.
