Eriverq: "SHOW US THE MONEY OR SHUT UP AND LOSE LIKE A MAN".
Absolutely!
But then again, like a typical republican chickenhawk supporting even more GOP WARS, willard roMONEY was hiding out in France during Vietnam, while bush was hiding stateside in the "champagne unit" of the TANG, and dirty dickie was sending in his 5 deferments! LOL!
The main point is what George Will - a CONSERVATIVE pundit - has already stated. Romney's REFUSAL to release his tax returns is hurting his campaign, suibstantially, and he knows it. Therefore the only reason he has NOT released them is that he believes that doing so WOULD HURT MORE.
Shark just doesn't like that people are paying attention to it because he knows it makes Romney look bad and he wishes it would be swept under the rug for exactly that reason. LMAO.
The longer Mitt stalls and comes up with stories like "I pay a LOT of taxes", the more I think Reid has the goods on him. Sort of like the "little blue dress" thingy. Reid's been around a LONG time and he's cagey enough not to make this kind of statement without something to back it up.
Barry: "There is not a rule to how many tax returns one has to submit".
However, when someone is clearly a member of the oligarchic plutocracy, proposing to cut the taxes on the uber-wealthy even further while making the middle class pay for those ignorant tax cuts, they NEED TO PRODUCE THEIR REQUESTED TAX RETURNS!
PUT UP OR SHUT UP, RoMONEY........papers please, so the average American seeing their wages decline and jobs being offshored by people just like willard roMONEY, can finally vet him and make an honest choice come November!
Note how Mitt and his minions never specifically say "income taxes"...
Everyone pays taxes - property tax, sales tax, gas tax, transportation tax, etc. I'm sure Mittens has paid a "ton of taxes" just like the rest of us when those things are factored in.
But whether or not he paid federal income tax is another matter...I'd bet $10,000 he didn't pay a dime. Which is why he doesn't dare release his federal tax returns.
"And it's possible he suffered a large enough capital loss that, carried forward and coupled with his various offshore tax havens, he wound up paying no U.S. federal taxes at all in 2009," Green writes, equating that scenario to political death.
The new parlor game for political junkies has become 'Guess the Contents of mitt romney's Tax Returns'.
Joshua Green of Bloomberg Businessweek is one of the more-recent entrants to the field with his theory, culled from a dinner with private equity execs, that romney paid no taxes in 2009. Green posits that romney probably suffered major losses when the stock market took a nosedive in 2008. "And it's possible he suffered a large enough capital loss that, carried forward and coupled with his various offshore tax havens, he wound up paying no U.S. federal taxes at all in 2009," Green writes, equating that scenario to political death.

Yes.....PUT UP OR SHUT UP roMONEY.......papers please, willard!
Actually, Shark, is does impact our lives when people who don't pay their fare share of taxes reap the biggest benefits those taxes provide. Taxes pay for our national security, our transportation systems, the CDC, the FBI, patent protections, USDA food inspections, medical research and more. Our system of government, laws and infrastructure is what enables people to create and accumulate great wealth. The wealthy owe their success to the United States, and for that, they should pay taxes.
It's not "obsessive" to ask someone who wants our vote to show that he has invested in a great nation that enabled him to become very wealthy. Everyone else interviewing for a job has to submit to background checks and even credit checks -- Mitt's no exception.
The more Romney talks about his tax returns the worse its going to get for him and the public will assume he a lying tax cheat and until he shows his taxes will all think he has not paid them in ten years because that is going to be the conversation at the water cooler or what is this guy hiding.
theshark82: Romney is trailing in almost every poll by a consistent margin., The race will be close, and it could go either way, but right now ROmney is losing - and refusing to release his tax returns is hurting him a lot.
What does that say about how much MORE it would hurt him if he DID release them?
Barry: "We have gone from Show me the birth certificate - to Show me Your Tax Returns".
Funny thing, President Obama indeed produced his "long form" birth certificate to the delusional "birthers, baggers and buffoons," and yet they are seemingly giving willard roMONEY a pass on producing his tax returns.
What a bunch of hypocritical whiners we have in the right-wing!

And that's really all we need to know, isn't it?
LOL! Nobody is, and that is why he is losing in the swing states by so much, when republicans thought it was a "slam dunk" in 2012!
