Agreed. The really daft part of this whole thing is it points to the ineptness of Romney's campaign. They've had years to formulate responses to the questions of his taxes and his offshore investments and his Bain years, and yet here they are, floundering around looking clueless, when a competent campaign would have had answers at the ready. Did they really think none of this would come up again, as it has in every other campaign Romney has been involved in?

The deer in the headlights is not a good look on someone trying to convince us he has what it takes to be president.

1. Perhaps he has something to fear.

Number 2 anyone?

Mmmm, America knows what businesses he was engaged in. Many have posted his FEC documents right here in this forum. I don't think his compensation is anyone's business and certainly has no bearing on his Presidential aspirations.

At least you have given up the pretense that his returns ave any relation to his tenure at Bain.

GOP governor calls on Romney to release more tax returns - Yahoo! News

Why is it INTELLECTUAL honesty?
Why should a candidate give more returns than required? Seems to help a fishing expedition, right?
What is Obama hiding by blocking all his school records and writings?

To the person who is going to employ them, yes.

We are choosing Romney, and we have that same right. He can redact any sensitive information.

Ok so the answer is no, someone going for security Clarence doesn't make their tax returns public. By the way someone going for security clearence also reveals their school records. Guess who didn't? For the record, I dont care about Obama's taxes or school record.

I suspect he will release more returns in the future and thy will show nothing, and the Bainers will be in the same spot the birthers were when Obama released his BC.

They're probably just going to show that he made a LOT of money, and paid a relatively small percentage in taxes. I don't think he broke any laws, not even close.

So he should just release them.
