Should we ask presidential candidates to release their tax information?

Yes, it gives us a better
idea of who they are.

No, it has nothing to do with
running the country.

Mitt Romney released his tax returns this week after being prodded to do so for weeks while campaigning. It happens in every election. Why? What purpose does it serve other than to look into the personal banking information of someone wanting to run our country, and inform us that "yes, he will be taking a paycut if he wins." Should we ask our candidates to give up that personal information?
