Not a word here about how Obama’s first EO sealed everything about his past. Just a “where’s there’s smoke” smear to justify looking for a problem.
Look, all Mitt has to do is hide his tax returns until Election Day. If he wins... he can follow precedent and seal his records!
/S
Isn’t it a good thing that Romney proactively pursued all the tax breaks available? Keep in mind, he personally didn’t prepare his own returns - that’s my guess. It shows that he’s one of us!
It sure is ironic how the media is going after Romney with, once again, no vetting of ObamaNation.
That would be good advice. People have been advising him to do it since the subject first came up 6 months ago. He still hasn’t figured out a strategy to deal with it. He won’t confront it directly and it would be political malfeasance for the opposition party not to make hay with it. He’s playing into their hands.

I couldn’t care less...
The left will make $hit up as they go along.
Barack 0bama had maxed out his credit card and could not rent a car to give the 2004 DNC speech everyone raved about. I don’t remember who paid the toll.
Next thing we know, he’s a US Senator and talking about twiddling gum in his seat there, just prior to running for President, having people running a campaign with a call center in Gazs and refusing public money...and disclosure.
How about them apples.
I just think it would be better to leave them to make stuff up rather than hand them issues ready made. Stupid issues that didn’t have to be issues if Romney had a lick of political sense.
“And yet none of the MSM cares to see Obamas...”
campaign finance or personal receipts and meetings/gifts from Solyndra or other such executives.
Or the Cayman accounts for 0bama, Pelosi, Reid, Raines, Geithner.....Holder....
If private citizen Romney wants to take advantage of tax laws to squeeze every dime out of his tax bill I say go for it. More power to ya.
But he isn’t private citizen Romney. He’s been telling us he is the BEST person in the country to run as the party’s nominee for years. That means he might have to be expected to make sacrifices private citizens don’t have to. He may not be able to take advantage of every tax loophole because it may loose you some important votes. You might not be able to maximize the gain on your assets.
But apparently he has not been willing to sacrifice a freaking thing. He wants it all and he want us to thank him for it.
Well NOBODY was begging him to be President. And if he isn’t willing to to do what it takes to be elected than to HELL with him. Let him drop out now.
“You got it. Get used to it and stop crying.”
LOL
Not crying. Just stating facts that you evidently agree with. Do you really think that living under Communism is better than having Romney as President?
For years many here have recognized that Romney was going to be the WEAKEST guy to take on Obama. Believe it or not it pains me to watch how right we were.

Do you realize that if just 1 % of the people in this country refused to pay their taxes, the government would collapse?
Good one!
I think many more than 1% cheat on their taxes. The government keeps it a dirty secret.
Johnson is a busy body and should mind his own business.
I wouldn’t offer any more tax returns than I had to. It’s personal.
Even the most honest person is subject to audit and I’ll wager there is something wrong with almost every tax return. Even the simplest. Most dolts don’t understand how much interpretation of the tax code there is when you have much more than a simple W-2 and home interest. When you have a business and investments it is a nightmare.
None of this has applied to dumbo.
“1. Did you buy any illegal or gray area tax shelters?
Why would anyone answer this if they did? The answer would be obvious unless the person answering is a fool and did something.
“2. Did an IRS audit ever uncover serious problems with any of your tax returns?
Any business and multiple investment tax return is subject to this. A finding is not necessarily incriminating. I wouldn’t answer one way or the other.
“3. Did you make use of offshore vehicles to defer, or avoid paying, federal income taxes?
Tax management is not a crime, tax evasion is.
“4. Did you take advantage of any tax strategies that the IRS did not uncover in audits?
Again, tax management is not a crime. A tax strategy is tax management. Wouldn’t answer.
“5. Did you fully tithe to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints every year and take a deduction on your tax return that shows that?”
None of his damn business.
This is nothing but a tempest in a teapot bunch of crap. They got nothing and they know it and the headline is misleading suggesting incrimination.
I agree 100%.
But I will still hold my nose and pull the lever for Mitt Romney........anybody but 0bama.
Your lower echelon taxpayers can’t use the same provisions.
