Out of nasty curiosity, I went to see what tax returns Romney has released.

It isn't even as much as advertised.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/18/opinion/kleinbard-canellos-romney-tax/index.html

The above link says that:

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Mitt Romney has only released one complete tax return for 2010
Edward Kleinbard, Peter Canellos: Romney needs to be transparent about his finances
Romney's 2010 tax return reveals red flags about tax compliance issues, they say

And the 2010 tax return has been or is being amended.

That's not much in the way of financial disclosure.

I sit corrected; his 2010 return isn't complete. In other words, there is not even one complete return, and I have no idea why anyone would elect this man, being so crooked he won't even release two full tax returns until just before the election.

If a bank wants to see 3-4 years of returns just to give you a 20k personal loan, I can't see how a voter could hand him the keys to the White House without seeing at least that many years of returns.

What do you think you are going to find in Obama's 1980s college transcripts that will give us new insight as to how he would run the country?

... Romney should have to release his own college transcripts?


Oh, wait, the President has already released his tax returns, and I don't recall seeing any transcripts from Mitt either.


Is this really what you want?

Romney Taxes For 2010 Not Fully Disclosed
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/mitt-romney-taxes-2010_n_1683084.html?utm_hp_ref=tw

Obviously, in Romney's eyes, the American people don't even deserve one complete year
