Food for Thought

Did you know that when George Romney (Mitt's father) ran for president he released TWELVE YEARS of tax returns?

Yeah, that seems patriotic and responsible to me, too.

I'm guessing the reason he won't release them has to do w/ either Bain (sp?) and/or the off shore accounts he has.

I'll admit I want to know out of simple puerile couriosity but if I was undecided about how to vote this would be just one more brick in the gunny sack that weighs down Romney/Ryan.

Oh yes, I don't doubt that whatever tax avoidance strategies he and his accountants have used over the years have all been perfectly legal. But that's just it, do we want a President whose main qualification for office is how well he's managed to build a fortune and avoid paying his fair share of taxes?

Exactly, and since he disclosed the real tax forms to McCain, it's clear that he doesn't even trust 47% of the population.
