Chris Wallace: Romney's Tax Returns 'Politically Toxic'

[unblock]

28. +100 i think this is a VERY plausible hypothesis.

you're right, if he had half a brain, he would have taken steps to make sure his irs forms were nice and clean.
aside from an absurdly low tax rate, that is. the difference between 13% and 26% on his staggering income is crazy money, money that he could easily spend on an ad buy to clean up his image.

but the swiss bank thing is very plausible because he could easily have figured that running all the dodgy stuff through swiss banks successfully keeps his irs forms clean.

until he had to accept the amnesty deal.

now at that point, a reasonable man might well have realized he couldn't get elected, but rmoney is a man used to winning and winning BIG when all around him are losing everything.
