My take is that this little token of transparency doesn't really matter all that much. It's not like there's a line item on the 1040 for "bribe income". Fixing the transparency and disclosure requirements for super-pacs would probably be even more valuable than opening up everyone's taxes, which does have personal privacy implications.
Nancy Pelosi, like Romney, is making a strategic decision not to disclose because she sees the drawbacks as greater than the benefits of doing so. And just like with Romney's taxes, or the Obama's "short form" birth certificate, I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that anyone has something to hide
There is a line for bribe income. You include it as "other income" and must provide an attached statement describing each of the income items that are included in "other income".
You missed my point, which is that people jump to the "they must be hiding something" conclusion too readily. I don't doubt, for a second, where and when our president was born.
