The fact that this is not happening is proof enough that he paid his taxes.
Reid and the obama gang already have the ten years of Romney tax files, and have dug through them with a fine-tooth comb, but to release any of that private information would be admitting to a felony, by him, or his source(s), whoever that is...so, they’ve got to get Romney to release them in order to use the information on his own.
Politics is a dirty business.
Of course Reid is a liar - the WH put him up to it. Make baseless unsubstantiated claim and make Romney go on defense.
What Romney should do is call the bluff and tell Obama, “You’ll see my tax returns when I see your dubious transcripts - all of them!”
My niece who divorced her live in no-good that knocked her up (she’s no prize either) sued the tatooist (yea, a tatooist) for child support. This guy had a fantastic lawyer. Instead of responding to a paternity claim for support, he countered with a “prove you even had a baby - and that the baby was YOURS”....
Mitt needs to get balls like this.
I still dont know if the accusation is that he didn’t file for 10 years, or filed but had no tax liability.
The fedguv has so successfully snookered the population via withholding and refunds, that no one can ever answer me when I ask what their liability was. They just know what they “get back”, even though it’s usually no different than welfare.
Reid has never said WHICH ten years.
I have it on good authority that Romney paid no income taxes for 1947-56.
Why doesn’t Romney just demand Reid release his taxes and be done with it? How about 0bama release his school records from Columbia? Just a straight, concise attack and let it hang.
Oh this is SOOOOOOOO important
stamp out them there fires Willard...
he ought to say where it came from, and then we can find out whether that person has any credibility.

Now Willard thats right interesting...
It depends who said it whether its true or not...
All Romney need do is to find a half-dozen highly credible, high profile people (recently retired senior military officers, perhaps a member of the news media, and maybe someone like Louis Freeh), ask them to sign an agreement to not disclose any of the specifics of his tax returns, show them the last 10 years of returns so they can verify for the world that Harry Reid is a conformed liar, and that Romney did pay taxes for the past 10 years. Once he establishes that all he needs to do is remind people that the Obama IRS has had his tax documents to review for the past four years. So the fact that no action has been taken against him proves that his taxes were reviewed and deemed by the Obama IRS to be spotless.

An EQUALLY scary thing is that nothing succeeds like success and if these bastards can manufacture “facts” without being called to account, the election is clearly over and they win. The Media will RUN with any falsehood and lie.
Further, Romney should be ignoring this and having his PAC surrogates go after this bastard - like leaking stories about allegations that Reid owns interests in Nevada Bordellos or has friends connected with Mexican drug gangs.
This is a gun and knife fight - Chicago style - and no place for people consumed with a sense of fair play and taking the “high” road.
Mayne some PACS should start a few damaging rumors about the Communist in Chief.
“But PolitiFact wrote that it is “far-fetched” to believe Romney paid no taxes for 10 years.”
What about Reid ? Has he payed taxes? How much ? Where are his tax returns ?
FLASH!
Reid’s source is Bill Burkett, who cites Lucy Ramirez as his “source”.
If a Republican did this to a Democrat, the Dems/MSM would call it McCarthyism.
So we’re suppose to believe that: 1)Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years and yet decided to run for president - twice - thinking that noone would find that out, and 2)Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years and the IRS didn’t notice.
It just doesn’t pass the smell test.
I think that Romney should SEAL his Federal and State Tax Records.
Hell, he could collect a bounty from the IRS for reporting a mega tax cheat.
Answer- there IS no credible source and Harry “Uriah Heep” Reid is scurrilous cowardly liar. Too bad dueling is no longer practiced
Reid already had no credibility.
His latest lies change nothing.
