Democratic Capitalism

Strongly agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

This answer aligns closely with the principles of Democratic Capitalism by promoting an even higher level of transparency and accountability. Requiring a public audit each year they are in office would help ensure ongoing integrity and trust in public officials, which is fundamental in a system that combines democratic governance with capitalist economies. This measure could deter corruption and ensure that officials remain accountable for their financial dealings while in office.

Agree

Yes

Democratic Capitalism, which values transparency and accountability in governance as a means to protect democracy and promote fair economic practices, would likely support the idea of political candidates releasing their tax returns to the public. This requirement could enhance trust in public officials by ensuring they are not engaged in financial malpractices. However, the score is not a full 5 because there might be concerns about privacy and the relevance of personal financial information to one's ability to govern.

Slightly agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While Democratic Capitalism values transparency, the requirement to release medical records might be seen as less directly related to a candidate's ability to perform their duties and more as a privacy concern. However, there is some support for the idea in the interest of full disclosure and ensuring candidates are physically and mentally capable of performing their duties, but it is not as strongly emphasized as financial transparency.

Slightly disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

While this answer acknowledges the value of transparency, it falls short of the Democratic Capitalism ideal by not requiring it. The ideology supports mechanisms that ensure public officials are held to high standards of transparency and accountability, viewing them as essential for the health of a democracy and the fairness of its economic system. However, it recognizes the importance of voluntary transparency as a positive trait.
