- Romney has a huge problem with his taxes because he has to reveal at least ten (10) years, if not his father's pledge that a presidential candidate should release at least twelve (12) years. I suggest Romney has no choice for several reasons. One, his father told him he should do so. Remember what Moses said Mitt, "Honor your father and mother"and if he doesn't do it, it shows he's trying to hide something. Two, this Tax Problem is not going away soon. You might say that the mess the government is in fiscally is because of Secret Tax Policy's lawmakers make for the rich. Three, his political stance not to increase revenue by the Ryan Republicans plan makes the Romney position untenable, because their position to keep Tax Breaks for the rich and ultra-rich increases the debt of the U.S. of A. by at least another trillion dollars. Four, their is no question that even if he refuses to open his taxes up to public review it still leaves all these unanswered questions, and just further exacerbates Romney s refusal to be an honest candidate and because of this duplicity of not revealing his taxes should disqualify him from being taken seriously as a President for the United States. Americans deserve better.

- I wonder why the issue of releasing "x" number of complete tax returns is not a requirement(by law) of presidential candidates. What does seem to be at issue with Mr. Romney's failure to produce several COMPLETE years of IRS returns makes me & others wonder WHY and is he trying to conceal his labyrinth of "safe financial havens"? He is very talented in creating wealth; does our next president have to be rich or does he have to be a candidate to knows how to DISTRIBUTE wealth to make our country work for ALL Americans?

- Why don't Mr. Rommney disgrace the Majority Leader by showing that he's paid taxes: show the returns man. This is crazy.

- There has got to be something really horredously damaging in Romney's tax returns for him to this far and risk the election without releasing them.
