In reply to the discussion: Why asking for 5 years of Romney's tax returns was brilliant [View all]bluemarkers
(536 posts)40. tithe cheat
I don't think rmoney gives a care about what we think (just listen to ann) but he does care what his church thinks.
Years ago met new friends that were Mormon and I didn't know a thing except for the choir, so I did a bit of research on the lds church. Wow whee! My friends told me point blank they have to show their tax returns to their bishop or whatever so he can determine what they need to tithe. She actually had to go get a job so they could give more, even though they had small children and she had/has a chronic illness. I think he has cheated his church...
(But the scariest part is their bishops are supposed to also be seers - and can do no wrong but that has nothing to do with taxes, it's just scary.)

I don't think it relates to McCain. I think it was the Swiss bank account deal.

It also ties him to Congress' 10% approval rating on unwillingness to compromise.

I think the Obama campaign has a pretty good idea what's in all 10 of those returns

Agreed. It sets a bar. The most damning stuff is in the last five years. It has to be.
