Pragmatism

Agree

Yes

Pragmatism values practical outcomes and transparency in governance. Requiring political candidates to release their recent tax returns could enhance transparency and public trust, aligning with pragmatic goals of effective governance. However, pragmatists might also weigh the practicality and potential privacy concerns, slightly tempering their agreement.

Agree

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

Pragmatists might see the value in not only requiring the release of tax returns but also in conducting a public audit to ensure ongoing accountability while in office. This could be viewed as a practical measure to prevent corruption and misuse of power. However, concerns about feasibility, cost, and privacy could lead to a more moderate level of agreement.

Slightly agree

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

This nuanced position might appeal to pragmatists who value both privacy and transparency. They might appreciate the voluntary nature of such disclosures as a way to build trust without imposing strict requirements. However, the lack of a requirement could be seen as insufficient for ensuring the level of transparency needed for effective governance.

Neutral

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While pragmatists value transparency, the requirement to release medical records might be seen as overly invasive and not directly related to a candidate's ability to perform their duties. The pragmatic approach would likely weigh the benefits of such transparency against privacy concerns and the relevance to public service, leading to a neutral stance.

Disagree

No

From a pragmatic standpoint, outright opposition to releasing tax returns might be seen as counterproductive to fostering transparency and accountability in politics. However, pragmatists might also consider the potential for such requirements to be overly invasive or to deter qualified individuals from public service, leading to a mild disagreement.

Disagree

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

Pragmatism, focusing on practical outcomes and the effectiveness of governance, might find this stance too dismissive of the potential benefits of transparency. While pragmatists recognize that tax returns are not the sole indicator of a candidate's ability, they likely see value in the broader context of accountability and trust that transparency can bring.

Strongly disagree

No, their income is none of our business

Pragmatists, focusing on the practical aspects of governance and public service, might strongly disagree with this stance. They could argue that a candidate's financial background, including potential conflicts of interest, is very much the business of the electorate to ensure integrity and prevent corruption in office.
