Hillary Clinton’s Income Tax “Problem”–She Needs To Put This Issue To Rest

It’s time for Sen. Hillary Clinton to release the tax returns for herself and her husband. Otherwise, concerns she has something to hide will only grow and deepen.

It is somewhat of a mystery why Clinton has not released the returns, allowing rival Barack Obama to suggest that there is some dark reason why she is refusing to do so.

She has said they will be made public April 15th.

Why? Why not now?

At a time when Obama is coming under attack for his relationships with an indicted Chicago investor, and his former pastor, this would be the perfect time, it would seem, for Clinton to put any suspicions about her income to rest once and for all.

Is Bill the problem?
Could be.  Sen. Clinton’s income is pretty much out in the open and has been since she was elected to the Senate.

But, what about former President Clinton? It is no secret that Mr.Clinton has been shoveling in the dollars–and probably euros nowadays–as a speech maker, book writer and consultant to concerns near and far.

It’s the far concerns, though, that have raised concerns among Democrats, and is the fuel feeding Obama’s attacks.

If Hillary is to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, it is crucial the voting public knows the full extent of any business relationship her husband has or had since leaving the White House.

Why wait?
One possible reason Hillary is refusing to make her returns public till next month, is to let Obama’s accusations continue to build, and then, with one quick release of her returns shortly before the next big primary in Pennsylvania, defuse them by proving the suspicions were groundless.

If that is the reason, it is not a very good one.

And, if that is not the reason, then what is?
