Why?

He was always going to release his 2011 return.

Lighten up, Francis.

This allows for a reshaping of the discussion. I like the idea of spending a couple/few news cycles on who is a better judge of where my $$$ goes: the Government ( through taxation and appropriation) or me (through voluntary charitable giving)

I think, if Romney can pull it off through completion, Obama and the MSM just got rope-a-doped.

Probably the best thing to get would be his financial aid and admission documents.

They more than likely show that he represented himself as a “foreign student”.

Oh, I know and I never cared if he made his tax returns public or not.

There is or has been recently for some on FR, to over react to nearly everything, rather than waiting for all the information......hence the reason I wrote.

sarcasum

..i am wondering what Romney’s charitable amounts will look like, assuming there are shown, prior to say 2009...

It's right there in the article:

Over the entire 20-year period, the Romney’s gave to charity an average of 13.45% of their adjusted gross income.

All of them.

Get ready for a revival of the “Too Rich To Govern” meme.

I was going to make a smartass reply, but I understand your concern. Don't be.

Romney just crushed one of the Lefty talking points, completely and thoroughly, in one fell swoop. Read this, feel better:

This was never about exactly how much tax he paid, it was always about the class warfare, to show that he is a rich guy with no clue about the poor and middle class.

“Someone needs to shove a microphone in Harry Reid’s face and ask who his “friend” was that said Romney did not pay any taxes.”

Can’t do that...

The MediaMatters/Democrat approved narrative is that you are supposed to be more outraged with what Obama does with HIS money, than with what Obama is doing WITH YOURS.

You don’t think these mainstream media reporters want to be looking for new jobs IN THE OBAMA ECONOMY, do ya?

Hi. I know it's shocking to you but Romney always promised to release his 2011 return and he's keeping his word.

How is it horrible timing? It isn't.

The Left was never going to let up on that talking-point, why run from it?

"The New Republic" and others shilling for Obama are of course already playing games, ignoring the money Mitt initially invested, and now (hopefully) earns cap gains on, was taxed at income rates once already.

Obama and his Democrat majorities didn't change the rates so what Mitt and the "rich" pay is on them.

Hope you all are right.

I am just gun-shy because I know the media always finds or manufactures a negative angle to view this sort of information.

If they can spin it, they will.

Now I want to see Harry Reid subpoenaed to give up source who said Mitt didn’t pay any taxes.

I believe he’ll get away with it, cause he made the comments on the Senate floor... What a jackass though

And was also supported by the Saudi Royals...

Here we go:

Harry Reid calmly responds to Romney’s tax release: “He’s hiding something. He’s hiding something!”

Who cares what the media say?

Gallup said that distrust of the media hit an all-time high this year, "with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly."
