Mitt doesn't have to release his tax returns... [View all]

If he genuinely wants to prove he paid income taxes every year, and doesn't want to release his returns, all he has to do is produce copies of the cancelled checks made out to the IRS with the proper indication on them indicating they were for that year's 1040.

Doing so would not be at odds with is reticence to release his detailed returns. So if he won't even do that to disprove the allegations, then I'd say it would be hard to believe he paid anything.
