Since he got destroyed in the election Mitt has nothing to lose now. Can we, the lower class folks, finally get to see your tax returns? 14%? 13%? What is it? Paying so low for someone making millions of dollars is great isn't it? Mitt is just like the rest of us, making $50k or lower and paying 20%+.

Here comes the birthers in 3,2,1...

Obama's high school transcripts blah blah blah...

Romney has nothing to lose, but more importantly, nothing to gain, by releasing his tax records.

Out of curiosity, what is your effective tax rate? Considering that the majority of Americans pay an effective tax rate of under 11%, I'm willing to bet that your effective tax rate was less than Romney's, which puts the whole "fair share" argument out to pasture.

If his tax rate was indeed within reason then he had plenty to gain for the election. It would show that he paid his fair share.

But since he chose not to release it, his taxes obviously is at a much lower rate than your average American. We can assume that now right?

What is the point of this thread? Are you a bash addict and you needed a fix?

You pay 20% on income, he pays taxes on capital gains. You do know there is a difference, right? BTW, I know it matters little to you, but he also donates 20% on top of taxes.

Here comes the Mormon bashing in 3,2,1...

I make way less than Mitt and pay more than 14%. I was not running for the president either.

I doubt you know what your etr is. And if you are paying much more then that in Federal Income taxes then you need to go to H&R Block.

You ain't curious? He was only trying to win the most powerful job in America after all.

You are beating a dead horse. I'm more curious about your motivation than his taxes.
