ABC anticipates Clinton tax returns to see offshore income
David Edwards and Nick Juliano

Sen. Barack Obama's tax returns have been online for a little more than a week now, but reporters, political rivals and opposition researchers are still licking their chops at the chance to dig into the IRS filings of his opponent Hillary Clinton.

Financial disclosure documents already filed by the New York senator show she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, have made at least $50 million since leaving the White House in 2001. ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross takes an early crack at divining what details may be revealed from the Clinton's tax returns, which her campaign has said will be released within the next two weeks.

The tax returns, Ross says, "will answer a lot of questions about how they made so much and whether they paid their taxes like average Americans -- or like the super rich they've become."

Has video from ABC's Good Morning America, broadcast April 3, 2008.

1. whether they paid their taxes like average Americans -- or like the super rich they've become
I think thats at least half of the reson she doesnt want to release their tax records.

Its kind of difficult to pander to the average person that you represent the things they most want and need when the reality is you havent a clue what the average person deals with on a daily basis because you are wealthy.

Kinda cuts into her appeal with the blue collar types.
