Teresa Heinz Kerry still refuses to release her tax returns, even though her husband has relied extensively on her wealth to promote his political career and presidential campaign. This past Sunday, on Meet the Press, Kerry said he disclosed his tax returns because it is legally required, while there is no such mandate for spousal disclosure.

In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro’s husband initially refused to release his tax returns, but then reversed himself due to the public outcry. Can we expect Teresa to do the same?
