I think it's reasonable to expect to see who...

a candidate supports with charitable and political donations. Tax returns don't show most political deductions.
For instance, I found it interesting to how little President Obama gave to charity until he looked at running for Senate/POTUS.
Same for Biden's very low rate of charitable giving (something like 0.2% over the years if memory serves).
I think it's good to be able to confirm many candidates are hypocritical greedy bastages...like we suspected they were.

This is a guy who suggested Obamas birth certificate might show he's a Muslim. Trumps tax return might show he's a secret Russian.

“I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook.”
And no president since Nixon has refused.
