http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman,_Sr.

Their eldest son, Jon Huntsman, Jr., was elected governor of Utah in 2004, later became ambassador to China, and was a candidate running for President in the 2012 election.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman,_Sr.

Huntsman (Sr) is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as an Area Seventy from 1996 to 2011. He also served as a regional representative, stake president and as president of the Washington, D.C. Mission from 1980 to 1983.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints

Faithful members adhere to laws regarding sexual purity, health, fasting, and Sabbath observance, and contribute ten percent of their income to the church as a tithe.

You'd think an Area Seventy like Jon, Sr. would be in a position to know if one of their wealthiest "faithful" members, Romney, was telling his church that he made no income when the Church came looking for his 10% tithe. Now Romney did give his church lots of money. But I'm sure Romney didn't keep it too much of a secret about how it was above and beyond the call ... to secure Mormon votes and financial support.

Motive, means and opportunity for Jon, Sr? I would guess so.

Book: Jon Huntsman Sr. Told Reid That Romney Didn't Pay Any Taxes For 10 Years [View all] alp227 Oct 2013 OP

Indictable? Hope so. toby jo Oct 2013 #1

Nope Gary 50 Oct 2013 #8

I think because he said it on the Senate floor, Reid is legally protected. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #35

He meant Romney, not Reid. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #45

Why would Romney be indicted? The thing about not paying taxes isn't true. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #69

Poster may not know that. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #71

Yeah, we gotta remember that what is said during a campaign and the truth are different things. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #72

Did I miss where all of his tax returns were actually released? nt stevenleser Nov 2013 #75

Maybe you did. Did I miss where the IRS nabbed him for back taxes? Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #79

You are the one who asserted something as fact and now cannot back it up apparently. stevenleser Nov 2013 #80

FACT: He was never charged with a crime. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #84

Again: That is not the same as proving the assertion wrong that he didn't file/pay taxes. stevenleser Nov 2013 #85

And you cannot back up the assertion that he did not pay. And you can't prove you paid your taxes. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #86

did you miss where he's got million$ hidden away in tax haven$ wordpix Nov 2013 #81

I'm sure the IRS was all over it if there was anything illegal. Pterodactyl Nov 2013 #83
