Mitt Romney: I am not a tax crook!
Mitt Romney's campaign explains why he doesn't need to release any more tax returns than the one year's worth he's already disclosed:
Mitt Romney has been scrupulous about observing the requirements of the tax code. His income is reported and taxed in full compliance with U.S. law, and he has paid 100 percent of what he has owed. His good name means everything to him. Throughout his life in this and in other matters, he has conducted his personal and business affairs so as to be beyond reproach.
So far beyond reproach, in fact, that they don't believe anyone has a right to see exactly just how far beyond reproach he went. But you can trust Mitt Romney isn't a tax crook. His good name means everything to him, after all.
Sure, in 2008, Mitt Romney was willing to give John McCain 23 years worth of tax returns during the vice presidential vetting process. And sure, McCain ultimately picked Sarah Palin over Mitt Romney. But there's nothing in those returns that would make Mitt look bad. How do we know? Because his campaign said so. Mitt Romney isn't a tax crook. Period.

He may not have done anything illegal to have something he'd like to hide from voters.

(12,287 posts)3. He's already hiding money in off shore accounts
THAT'S A TAX CHEAT....A TAX DODGER...SOMEONE WHO LOVES MONEY MORE THAN HIS COUNTRY...
He's not paid taxes on that hidden money and has likely had all 12 accounts for many years...I wonder how much in taxes he owes the good ole USA? And this tax dodger wants to be President of the very country he's already ripping off?

(37,152 posts)5. It's absurd, isn't it? But Republicans probably love tax dodgers...
...same way they love bullies and other assorted scumbags.
they are a real group of ironies. They love the troops but they also love draft dodgers...it's all backwards with that crowd....
