How about NO: The NYT has an epically TERRIBLE idea for your private tax information because Trump bad

The New York Times has an idea.

Let’s make everyone’s tax information public because Trump!

It's not just Donald Trump. Everyone's income tax bill should be public. Sunlight would curb tax avoidance, promote fairness — maybe even boost economic growth. https://t.co/JjKfsUAi3a

Who wants to go first?

Let’s start with the editors of the NYT https://t.co/xkSSg0Z3p4

Nothing could go wrong with making everyone’s tax disclosures public, right?

Whoa! Man. That seems like a bad idea. https://t.co/avzkKNpKS1

We’re sure the New York Times wants to spearhead this slippery slope of making all things public.

Also all journalists’ sources should be public. It will help assess credibility and cut down on fraud. https://t.co/TO5rcXxRt6

Things that are private are private for good reasons.

Why stop there? For the same reason, we need to do away with HIPAA and make everyone’s medical history public too… ??‍♂️??? https://t.co/EQjlukRT5J

And the Fourth Amendment is on line one.

The constitutional “right to privacy” apparently includes abortion but doesn’t include your private income and expense information according to the left. You guys are truly laughable. https://t.co/USNw5jVdZD

Yeah, how about no.

No thanks https://t.co/ckNfmc7jjU

What a HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!

Do people have a right to privacy?

Also what impact would this have on crime? Imagine being poor, and having a great income year…

As for politics – how about voting for people based on principles? https://t.co/UKOBO48xTc

Oh, that’s right — Trump bad!

Burn it down to get to Trump is the battle cry of the Left. Destroy the electoral college. Pack the courts. Share everyone’s tax returns. Nothing matters. https://t.co/dzbZ88iEhJ

Do they even stop to consider the consequences (for themselves!) of the ridiculous things they want to do in the name of bringing Trump to the ground?
