What do you speculate it is he's trying to hide?
Probably that he did not pay, or payed very little in taxes in one or more of those years. With the battering the stock market took in '08 it would not surprise me if he got out of taxes sometime around then.

He can put an end to all this speculation by releasing his tax returns.

Why wouldn't he if he has nothing to hide? It makes no sense... Unless there is something very, very damaging in there.

Since we're filling Romney's vacuum with rampant speculation, here's my guess:

Romney's reason for not releasing his tax statements has nothing to do with his wealth. This is no surprise to anyone; if he were to release them now the issue would die. The REAL reason has to do with his dependents: He has children from other wives that are younger than his 'public' family; the last one turned 18 in 2009. As a polygamist these children are from wives he married after Ann; and he is still married to them. As his first wife; Ann is his 'public' one. To provide for his other wives, he has given them 'do nothing' positions in his companies where they collect salaries and benefits.

It's always an excuse.

You know as sure as you breathe that you won't pay more than you are required to pay.

Let's see your returns. If you want to talk about it, prove it. Let's see your returns for the last couple of years and then for the next 2 or 3 years. Deal?

Did you know that whe he left the govornor's office he took all the computers with the records of what he had done while in office. The gut seems to have privacy issues. Most high ranking politicians just love to have their records public for posterity but not mitt.

That's stupid.

Why not apply the same logic to Obama's college records?

If he has nothing to hide, why not release them?

Same principle.

Liberals can't have it both ways.

I am guessing some years he paid near 0 taxes due to offshoring income in a border-line illegal, and certainly, immoral tax evasive maneuver.

What do you speculate it is he's trying to hide?

Romney is not hiding as much as obama has, after all he is over 3 years into his term and we still have yet to see his school records.

We should now base our positions on what YOU guess?

I am guessing you haven't quit beating your wife yet.

Apparently I am supposed to be more angry about what Romney does with HIS money then what Obama does with mine.

Michelle Obama hasn't released naked pics or results of her chromosome tests yet. Let's speculate what he's hiding in his pants. "She" does look kinda manly.

Is that why obama has spent well over 200,000 protecting his birth certificate and only showing a cert of live birth instead
