I see. Sorry for my snark. My understanding was that they feel money has a deeply corrupting influence on relationships, and credits the strength of their parents marriage with the fact that they both made a clear effort to avoid taking about money (while still being responsible with it). I don’t think that they are saying that making tax returns public will directly cause more spousal conflict, but it will cause more general corruption of relationships across the board. I can certainly see that. In my experience, there are very few people who respond appropriately when they learn what someone makes. Rarely is it: “oh, good for them, anyway, moving on …” Most of the time, it’s unhelpful and toxic commentary about whether the person is overpaid/spoiled/poor with money/a sucker or whatever depending on their circumstances. I wish it wasn’t that way but that has been my experience.
