Mitt Romney's Tax Returns

[justiceischeap]

Greg Palast was just on Melissa-Harris Perry show and talked about Romney making $115 million off the auto bailout. Someone on Twitter suggested this may be one of the reasons why he doesn't want to release his tax returns. Imagine how that would look to voters in Ohio, Michigan, etc.

1. Mitten's tax returns are never going to (voluntarily) see the light of day.

they are toxic for him through and through in so many, evil ways.

4. I'm starting to think that maybe the reasoning for not releasing his returns

has more to do with how he made his money than illegalities. I think people would see a record of how he personally has harmed the economy over the years.

2. Why on why don't we use this in our advertising? And I'd really hammer home the seeds of doubt

about WHY someone would refuse to release his tax returns and why someone who professes to love America has is money socked away in banks overseas. I think those paint a picture of someone who is hiding something and I'd focus more on that.

3. It's so hard to believe that people will vote for this lying jackass

even though he won't release his tax returns. I find that absolutely stunning--"we've given all YOU PEOPLE need to know".

5. Palast exposed the raw turd on that.

6. Whatever happens, Romney has set a new low for disclosure

And it's a major win for the corrupt class. The tax returns issue only stayed alive because of Harry Reid. The media never really gave a shit, and neither did too many people who are going to wind up voting for him anyway.

7. He's also proving that you can lie about everything

and keep it a close race.

8. Yes; the "cultural conservatives" will sink to any level

to deprive themselves of a government that will provide them with necessary services so they can feel "free" and stick it to "liberal elites." They are sad and getting sadder all the time.

9. Drug money has been funneled thru his foreign bank accounts

As president he will have to supply his tax returns and I think a financial disclosure

10. What else is new with Romney, mute on his tax returns, mute on his policy for America

He looks to the citizens of the USA as you are not important enough to know what he plans to do. We have heard him talk about repealing ACA but did he say he had the numbers in his favor to do so, no because the crowd who listens to him don't want to hear he does not have the numbers. I think his tax returns shows much more about the top 1% does not pay taxes on the rates the rest of us do. He can not tell the truth, he is very good at lying and then he picks Lyin' Ryan as a running partner, at least they are together on the lying part.

11. Another consequence of Romney not releasing his tax returns:

Romney's setting a precedence that will make it harder for us to demand and receive the next group of presidential candidates' tax returns.
