I just got a great tweet -- "Ryan's body fat and Romney's tax rate, are the same number".

Clue: I'm more concerned about the drain the 47% of Americans who pay no federal income taxes make on this country in relationship to both societal health and the economy than I am allowing those who pay more than 58% of this nation's total federal income tax receipts to keep as much of their money as the tax code allows.
I know, i am concerned about Romney paying nothing in taxes too.

Romney says that taxes aren't important. Ok, so then release them you doof and make it a non-issue. Do what your Daddy said every candidate should do!!!!
It's a non-issue as far as his ability to be president. It's a campaign issue because it will be usd for class warfare....which is something his father's opponents would have never dreamed of doing....especially when the wealthiest family in politics at that time was the Kennedys.

Your post is irrelevant to me. I haven't brought Palin into this discussion and I've noticed you continually bringing outside discussions into this conversation -- Warren Buffet and now Palin, neither are relevant.

If you can't remain on topic, don't reply.

How in the world would you know if the IRS found anything illegal in Mitt's returns, or not? My guess is that they did, and Mitt had to pay the fines and own up to what he actually owed. But, for obvious reasons, Mitt cannot release that info and have any chance at being elected. Do I know? Absolutely not, but there is something that could answer all our questions. I do not buy him not wanting to release because he is such a private person. Running for public office kind of limits your expectations for privacy.
