You know I understand Obama's hired Chicago thugs demanding tax returns but the President? Obama continues to devalue the office of the White House.
The American people want to discuss real issues. We know Romney is very wealthy. We know he does not pay the top rate due to his earnings are derived mostly from investments. If Obama wants to have a substantive debate on tax policy fine but this is ridiculous.
Mitt Romney living in his son's unfinished basement (since he had no home in Mass. at that time), thereby establishing residency so he could vote in Mass. for Scott Brown ... priceless.
so first the speculation was he committed tax fraud by hiding money in off shore accounts, then it was he didnt pay any taxes for ten years, now its he committed voter fraud. whats next? illegal exemptions for for dependents?
as i said before, this is all smoke and mirrors deflection from the real issues, obamas complete incompetence and chicago style politics.
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.
You need to remember what you wrote....

It makes for a good discussion about the tax code and its 77,000 pages.
You brought up tax loop holes......do tax loop holes only apply to Romney?
When we start computing taxes by dividing the tax burden by 300 million, that may have relevance. Until then, a middle class person paying a higher rate than Romney has every bit the right to consternation.
The bigger question is why does the middle class right-wing jump to the defense of the rich's preferred tax treatment?
Breaking News! Mitt Romney is still rich! He will pay more tax on his income from today than most people will for a year and they'll still accuse him of not paying his fair share.

Has Romney been sneaking Mexican Mormons into the USA, well I never

So says you, if this was Obama doing something like this in 2008, he wouldn't have even made it past round 2, your side deserves what is most likely coming to them this fall, if, this wasn't vetted, dealt with and settled, before you nominated him.
This like saying, well, the teacher didn't do anything to teach the kids, so let's replace her with someone who's a 10th grade dropout and has a fifth grade reading level (not saying Romney is a 10th grade dropout who can't read, but the metaphor's the same.)
Back to the OP's point, this is most likely, IMO, why, he's not releasing the tax returns pre 2010.
Hmm, dunno what the Birthers are fishing for? But 'fishing expedition' or no, the obvious thing to most folks is that Romney could easily make this whole tax thang go away overnight, by simply releasing his tax records, just like Obama, McCain, both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, and even Romney's father all have. So any problems he's having on the issue are clearly "self-inflicted".
A big difference that I failed to mention is that the birthers and college transcript searchers are not associated with the campaign, whereas the tax fishing expedition is coming straight from obama's campaign. They should be ashamed of themselves for being unable to run a substantive campaign, but instead resorting to fishing expeditions to further their class warfare strategy.
