Regarding Presidential candidates releasing their tax forms...

[Archae]

I know it isn't required, but it does seem to be traditional.

Who was the first to do so?

And has anyone else besides Rmoney refused to do so?

3. "Since the early 1970s,

however, most presidents have chosen to release their returns publicly. In the hope of making this information more widely available, the Tax History Project at Tax Analysts has compiled an archive of presidential tax returns"

5. I wonder what the repugs

would have done if President Obama refused to release more than one year in 2008?

would they have said - oh its all a game, nobody cares, yada yada?

nope - they would have gone ballistic.
