Harry Reid needs to call his friend.
Seems like his source is a big liar.
Ya think Harry will apologize for
his outrageous false charge? Nah.
Not really as his friend said he didn't pay for 10 years. He isn't showing those.

Page 2 makes reference to the 2009 Tax Amnesty which other posters have mentioned. Those who are unfamiliar with the terms of the Tax Amnesty should really take the time to fully understand what it was - and also understand why clarifying whether somebody utilized it or not is important.....

I found it to be an interesting article and I certainly think the questions it raises have relevance.

They are doing a summary so my answer would be "NO".

Always did! These he knew he would supply when he started going down the tubes. Why do you think that he finally gave us the last one. He did it to get off the 47%. Don't think it will work. Why did he pick Ryan when he did? He wanted people to forget about his tax returns.

It seems to me that this summary raises more questions than answers them.

I'm also hearing that the reason they didn't claim the entire deduction on their charitable deductions is because that would have brought his tax rate down to less than 10%. Also something about a "deferment," so they could come back next year (after the election) and claim the full amount.

Anyway, lots of questions and I'm not so sure he did himself any favors with this summary crap.

Time will tell.
Exactly! This one was for show if need be.

I wonder why if he had nothing to hide he did not show them in the first place? It just seems that he waited until something that was far more damaging came up to do so. All of this shows me that he has a "I will do what I want when I want and no one can force me to do anything that I don't want to" attitude.

One could make the same argument about the long form BC. He could have ended it long before.

We had our birthers and you have your taxers.
