It seems pretty obvious how disclosing his tax return could severely hurt his business (this is the reason given by Ferraro for not disclosing his tax returns). Making lots of money at the expense of poor people, etc. I don't see how disclosure would help Ferraro, either, except in terms of getting the press off her back for a while (until they decipher the contents of the disclosure, to find out why she didn't want to release it in the first place). She was originally being billed as a person on the side of the "working class", and her connections with her husband and his "low income housing" would likely not be perceived as a positive thing by many. [Personally it doesn't bother me at all - the ugly thing is Ferraro's misrepresentations]. -- Rick Kiessig {decvax, ucbvax}!sun!idi!kiessig {akgua, allegra, amd, burl, cbosgd, decwrl, dual, ihnp4}!idi!kiessig Phone: 408-996-2399
