Yours is one of them. I think that if he hadn't paid taxes in 10 years that would politically "disqualify him as a candidate." My point in posting was to those who seem to think McCain has been silent on this such as the OP said.

I do think Romney has paid income taxes over the past 10 years. He has filed yearly financial disclosure forms with the FEC, which are on the net, back to 2002. Based on those it would be impossible not to have paid income taxes during the period.
