Okay, I understand the arguments that have been made. Every year I have to do my taxes and I have to tell the government how much money I make. I don't have to divulge it or my sources of income to you. I understand all the arguments that Transparency has made. It makes sense that it be divulged to the government. What I'm struggling to understand is, why do I have to tell you? What is the specific benefit of that extra step of telling the general public, as opposed to just divulging it to the government?
