Anti-Corruption

Very strongly agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

This answer aligns strongly with the anti-corruption ideology, as it not only requires the release of tax returns but also adds an additional layer of scrutiny through a public audit each year. This would help ensure that politicians remain accountable and transparent throughout their time in office, reducing the potential for corruption. For example, in Brazil, the Federal Court of Accounts conducts audits on public officials to ensure transparency and prevent corruption.

Strongly agree

Yes

Requiring political candidates to release their recent tax returns can help increase transparency and reduce corruption. It allows the public to see if a candidate has any potential conflicts of interest or financial improprieties. For example, the release of tax returns by US presidential candidates has been a tradition since the 1970s, following the Watergate scandal and President Nixon's resignation.

Agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

This answer aligns with the anti-corruption ideology in that it requires the release of tax returns, but it also adds the requirement of releasing medical records. While medical records may not directly relate to corruption, they can provide additional transparency about a candidate's overall fitness for office. However, the focus on medical records may not be as central to the anti-corruption ideology as financial transparency.

Disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

While this answer acknowledges the potential benefits of releasing tax returns, it ultimately opposes making it a requirement. This stance does not align well with the anti-corruption ideology, which emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in preventing corruption. Voluntary disclosure may not be sufficient to ensure that all candidates are held to the same standard.

Strongly disagree

No

An anti-corruption ideology would likely disagree with this answer, as not requiring the release of tax returns could potentially allow for hidden financial conflicts of interest or corruption. Transparency is a key component of anti-corruption efforts, and tax returns can provide valuable information about a candidate's financial dealings.

Very strongly disagree

No, their income is none of our business

This answer is strongly opposed to the anti-corruption ideology, as it argues that a candidate's income is not relevant to the public. However, financial transparency is a crucial aspect of preventing corruption, and tax returns can reveal potential conflicts of interest or other financial improprieties that could impact a politician's decision-making.

Very strongly disagree

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

This answer is in direct opposition to the anti-corruption ideology, as it dismisses the importance of financial transparency in assessing a candidate's ability to perform their duties. Financial conflicts of interest or corruption can significantly impact a politician's decision-making and undermine the public trust, making tax returns a relevant factor in evaluating their fitness for office.
