Agree

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

This aligns more closely with technocratic ideals by ensuring ongoing accountability and transparency, which could be seen as mechanisms to ensure that those in power are serving the public interest efficiently and are not compromised by financial conflicts.

Agree

Yes

Technocracy, which emphasizes decision-making by technical experts, might see the transparency in releasing tax returns as a step towards accountability and merit-based governance. However, it doesn't directly align with technocratic principles focused on expertise and performance over public scrutiny.

Slightly agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While technocracy emphasizes expertise and data-driven decision-making, requiring medical records might be seen as tangentially related to these goals. It could be viewed as a step towards transparency but is not directly aligned with the core principles of technocracy.

Slightly disagree

Slightly disagree

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

While respecting privacy, technocracy might view the voluntary release of tax returns as a positive but insufficient step towards the level of transparency and accountability required for effective governance.
