If we're going to give individuals free reign for controlling the world's largest military, economy and checks and balances are going out the window, then they deserve some vetting. I mean, if we're going all in on this oligarchy thing, let's at least know what special interests were giving it up to.

Whoa hold on there Benton! 

If I am a Senator or Representative, I may want to proceed VERY CAUTIOUSLY with this transparency thing.  Sure, check the president's finances. But if people start looking at congressmen who have to go on corporate junkets and the like as part of their lawmaking responsibilities, they could get the wrong idea.

Until we get a little legal protection in place, a few more laws regarding what has to be declared and what doesn't, we need slow down and respect the private lives of those who have chosen public service!
