Top GOP Strategist Pushes Romney To Release More Tax Returns: ‘Two Years Is Not Enough, Obviously’

Longtime Republican strategist Ed Rollins today joined 20 other Republicans by saying Mitt Romney should “absolutely” release more years of tax returns. Despite increasing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans, and 61 percent of voters who want to see more taxes, Romney has refused to release more than two years.

In an interview with Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace, Rollins said:

ED ROLLINS: I think at this point in time it’s going to dog him all the way and he needs to get it behind him. He paid a lot of money in taxes. He’s made a lot of money.

CHRIS WALLACE: Wait, do you think he should release more taxes?

ROLLINS: I think he should release his taxes.

Reid is Right as Rain ...and Willard is all Wet.
‘Cause Americans have a damn RIGHT
to see their Presidential Candidate’s tax returns!
Confession is good for the soul Mitt.
So Relax, Repent, and Release your Returns, Mr. Romney …OR…
just return... to playing with your pet dancing pony.
No problem. We’ll understand.
Unless …perhaps ….just perhaps …you’re hiding something dear Willard?
Just asking.
P.S. By the way, Mr. Mitt: just how DID you manage to stuff all those millions into your tax-loophole IRA account?
… while the REST of us poor smucks have strict limits?
Inquiring minds want to know.
And you want even MORE tax cuts for you and your rich buddies, Mitt? 
WHAT GALL! These fat cats aren’t satisfied - they want it ALL ...EVERYTHING!!
But tell me Mitt, just how many cars and houses can you hog?
...and how many silver spoons can you really stuff into your smirking mouth?
Mitt baby, you can fool some of the people some of the time,
 but -please-  take my advice: if you want to run for dog-catcher
THEN keep your  precious tax returns, and just clean off your car roof. 
OTHERWISE, put up, …or shut up and go away 
….preferably BEFORE the convention.
The super-rich think that they have the God-given right to do anything
they want in this great country -while the REST of us get screwed!
ENOUGH!!! The divine right of kings ended a long long time ago Mitt.
And so should your sorry excuse for a candidacy.
Nothing personal guy.
Rich, arrogant, power-hungry Republicans are people too!
It's just their "culture" I guess...

Outsource his taxes, and have the Chinese do them for him all in Chinese.
He can say he released them, but it's not his fault how they are done. Then he can outsource the interrupters and make them say what he wants them to say.
