No I wouldn't support such a law. I'd consider it an invasion of privacy. However, I would be concerned about anyone seeking public office at a high level who objects to voluntarily releasing such information to the public.
They'd still have the option not to run if privacy was a big concern.
I don't think that information is required for someone to seek civil service nor should it be.

What would you think about the Nordic model?

There are many lower federal positions, (like some cabinet nominees) that are required to have their taxes reviewed by Senate committees.
IMO, there's no reason why the president shouldn't at least be held to the same standard of accountability as subordinate federal officials.

I think that's a fair burden for someone seeking high office. It's not like they release their SSN to everyone or something. People are too worried about keeping financial information secret.Reviewed by the Senate is very different, imo, than released to the public. What about all of the candidates that don't win, have to return to private life but with their personal tax information now permanently out in the world?
