Has Paul Ryan got something to hide?

It's bad enough that he wants to essentially gut Medicare by turning it into a block grant. His intentions for Medicaid and Social Security appear to be even worse. Now Paul Ryan has informed the American Public that he will only release two years of his tax returns, same as his running mate Mitt Romney. That reminds me of something Republicans and other "national security" aficionados said in 2001, after the vast majority of Congress members voted to pass the PATRIOT Act, most of them not having read the entire bill. They told people who are concerned about the fate of the Bill of Rights that "if we weren't doing anything wrong, we have nothing to worry about." They steadfastly maintained that the intelligence community had a desperate need to "sneak and peek" search our houses, without a warrant and while we were away from home. They said the FBI must tap your phone and read your email, also without a warrant demonstrating probable cause. They said it was all right for spies to access your library records - surely you have nothing to hide? According to the modern McCarthyites, Republican & Democrat, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." Well, I admit that's all water under the bridge. Nonetheless, now's the time those two Republican candidates for high office shed some badly-needed light on their own activities. Come clean, Paul Ryan & Mitt Romney!
