He's rich. What else would you like to know about him regarding his finances?
Here's my take on the whole thing.
Romney's record of public service is weak, at best. Back in the late 60s, he loudly and publicly suypported other guys going to Vietnam while he went to France on a "mission." Now, he loudly and publicly supports getting tough with Iran, while his five sons have all avoided military service. America has been incredibly good to the Romneys and they've enjoyed a lifestyle of wealth and privelege usually reserved for foreign royalty.
I'd like to know what he's done, if anything, to support this nation that's supported him and his family so generously.
Or has he weaseled every last penny away so that the rest of us pick up the burden?
I suspect ol' Willard is privy to tax breaks and loopholes that the rest of us don't have access to, because we're all just "little people", after all. And he's fighting like hell to keep us from finding out. Because it would be another big indicator of how removed from the mainstream reality he is and has been since birth.
But he sure expects us to give him the presidency. He never really makes a case for why we should support him. He just keeps saying that the's better than Obama but he can't back it up with any examples or policy proposals.
He has released his tax plan, though. And it gives the fat cats like him even more tax breaks while working folks like you and me get a tax hike. Just doesn't sound all that attractive to me. Republicans sure seem to bite on it.

Pelosi did not say, as the OP asserts, that the issue was trivial. Pelosi said, according to the OP's link, ” Pelosi said the issue was trivial compared with economic issues." Truncating a quote to make it sound like something it is not is dishonest but standard operating procedure on the Romney side. While Romney's taxes are not trivial, they are trivial compared to his economic policies that are so hostile to the middle-class that earlier this year focus groups given an accurate description of Mr. Romney’s policy proposals refused to believe that any politician would take such positions.
As Bernie Sanders said, "Being liberal means never having to distort the facts to get people to believe your message."

If the US Government doesn't have a problem with Obama's birth certificate, they why.........?
So when is Romney going to release his tax returns?
So if it is "trival" for her, how does she think it is vital for someone else? Are there any laws proclaiming that Romney has to bow to her demands? Has he ever been accused of insider trading or misuse of government property (Air Force aircraft for personal trips to her home)?
Romney doesn't think it is trivial or he would release them. What could he be hiding that is so damaging that he thinks it would cost him the election? It will come out eventually. It's hard to hide things in this day and age.
Just what we need, another mind reader! You know, as a certainty, what he thinks do you? What with being in his inner circle and all.
True, it is hard to hide things these days, but your hero Obama has managed to hide his college transcripts, hid his college parking ticket for years and who knows what else.

Another bald-face lie from the "incredibly stupid or willfully ignorant"â„¢ crowd. You racist Birthers are just not understanding that President Obama didn't seal his transcripts...federal law does.
Unfortunately for transcript transparency advocates, school transcripts, like tax returns, are private. They are protected by a 1974 law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA.
"There are all kinds of exceptions, but the rule is records may only be released with signed written consent of the individual,” said Barmak Nasserian, associate executive director of the American Assn. of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. The group counts more than 2,600 degree-granting institutions among its members. "Barack Obama, like every other American, is entitled to privacy rights under federal law."
In any case, said Nasserian, he doesn’t see much benefit in allowing voters to peruse candidates' college transcripts.
"I am not sure looking at 20-year-old Mitt Romney or Barack Obama at that granular level of detail would make a difference," he said. "It's kind of a stretch to say performance in a particular course, or that they took a course with a professed Marxist, or they studied Russian for heaven's sakes, is going to be relevant or helpful to someone making up their mind."
Though it may be true that college transcripts are not determinative, they can certainly be revealing.
In 1999, the New Yorker published an apparently purloined copy of George W. Bush's Yale transcript before he became the Republican nominee for president. Bush, it turned out, was basically a C student. Was this a scandal? Hardly. He never cast himself as an intellectual or brainiac, and, despite his Harvard MBA, often made fun of highly credentialed people.
