What Does This Matter?

I agree that a politician's assets should be made clear to the public, but I disagree with full disclosure on all of their assets because in my opinion politicians also have the right to some privacy and that they shouldn't be obligated to reveal all of their assets.  I also disagree with putting all of this information online I personally believe that records should be mainly kept on hand written paper.  Over time these documents should be released electronically, but I still think that paper data is more important than having only electronic copies.
