By whom?
Romney freely states he does not want anyone scrutinizing his tax returns. He states he doesn't want people scrutinizing his wife's tax returns. So, we at least know she has tax returns now.
The reason stated is that it would bring up issues that could hurt his political aspirations. Really?
Then he goes on to say Teresa Heinz Kerry was a very wealthy woman that never released her tax returns. He is making an analogy to Heinz Kerry? In regard to his wife? Really? Wow. Teresa's activities were well known, though. She was widely traveled to Africa and involved with charities. I don't think there is a comparison to the transparency we saw with Teresa.
The work of the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation (click title to entry - thank you) focuses on health and the environment. Our work supports a wide variety of events, activities, and programs.
One of our premier programs is the annual Women's Health and the Environment Conference. This conference series explores the impact of our physical, psychological, and economic environments on the health and well-being of women.
An exciting foundation event was the Campus Earth Summit. While the event took place several years ago, its findings ...
I don't believe the analogy is correct. Teresa received wealth from her family, she was very transparent about it and she used it with compassion, not self-indulgence. Not to say she was uncomfortable. That isn't the case, but, the Heinz wealth is very different in its etiologies and uses than Bain Capital. There really is no analogy that I can see.
Besides, she had her detractors. It never ceases to amaze me how Democratic women are always, without exception, villainesses. They are attacked regularly by the Right Wing as powerful vamps. I really think the GOP is scared of powerful women.
Democratic women frequently are affiliated with compassionate enterprises. Secretary Clinton was first involved with The Children's Defense Fund before being involved with politics. Teresa Kerry was simply seeking people in need as a focus in her life. She had many outreaches not dissimilar to The Gates Foundation and its activities. They enjoy giving back. They are proud of themselves for being involved with efforts to assist others from impoverished states of health and economy. So, the attacks on Democratic women are grossly wrong, but, are convenient for the political Right Wing of the USA.
A more contemporary example was when Dennis Miller stated, "Would you want to sit next to MIKE-A Brzezinski? Of course that was a slam against her feminity by making her name, usually pronounced MEEKA (like the meek shall inherit the Earth) sound masculine. Powerful women to the Right Wing are emasculinating. So, while her name is spelled Mika, it is not pronounced that way. It was a direct insult to her femininity and the fact she has been writing very empowering books for women. When men attack a woman for her femininity while asserting her prowess in business or government, it only reflects their own insecurities. I thought that went out in the sixties; evidently not.

I sincerely believe the hypermasculine content of the Bush/Cheney administration reflects more insecurity to advance war than any other time in the nation's history. That hypermasculine content is superfluous and out of step with contemporaries in any other nation. I sincerely believe the political Right Wing is afraid of women and their ability to be feminine in the same roles they have as men. THAT is not a well integrated personality. It just isn't.
