If he’s clean he has nothing to gain by holding back.
He has a lot to lose by releasing without first demanding Obama’s records be unsealed.
The dems will try to tear his tax records apart and make very simple claims of fraud, evasion etc. Can you imagine how difficult it will be to explain one item targeted by the dems in such a complicated filing?
Dems would make one simple charge after another
Mitt would spend his entire time left before the vote trying to explain to voters, a large percentage who would not understand the a complicated answer but might only remember the dem accusation.
He shouldn’t release. He has everything to lose and little to gain.
Exactly right.
We saw what the RATs and their media lapdogs did with the “When-did-Romney-leave-Bain?” non-issue. They were able to keep a false premise at the forefront of political discussion for several weeks, even though the phoney charges were refuted constantly.
The Tax Code is complicated and not understood by many outside of tax lawyers and CPA’s. A ‘bumper-sticker’ negative charge by a RAT could take pages to explain, not that the RATs would be listening, they’d be moving on to their next lie as they always do.
We must remember, Lies and an ignorant electorate are RATs’ most important tools. To Marxists the ends justify the means. There is no honesty.
