25. Notice that again he said 'taxes', not FEDERAL INCOME taxes

on ALL sources of income. State income taxes, property taxes, gift taxes, sales taxes, Medicare taxes, gasoline taxes, etc easily could top 13 percent of his wage income from speaking fees.

The question should be, what were
--his Form 1040 Adjusted Gross Income,
--his Form 1040 Total Income,
--his Form 1040 Total Federal Income Tax,

--his total Federal Carried Interest,
--the income tax he paid to each US state or locality, and the identities of all those states and localities, and
--the total value of all his IRAs,

each year from 1985 (the earliest of the 23 years for which he gave fideral income tax returns to John McCain in 2008) to 2011?

I am surprised such information is not required already on the financial disclosure every candidate for federal office must file with the FEC.
