WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has what he says is an informed explanation for why Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns. According a Bain investor, Reid charged, Romney didn't pay any taxes for 10 years.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post from his office on Capitol Hill, Reid saved some of his toughest words for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Romney couldn't make it through a Senate confirmation process as a mere Cabinet nominee, the majority leader insisted, owing to the opaqueness of his personal finances.

McCain passed on Romney for Vice President. Now we know why
I can't imagine that one Mormon would lie about another Mormon.

I think the answer is very obvious.
Either Mitt paid no taxes or he paid a ridiculously low net rate. No law being broken but it shows the difference between the haves and have nots.
According to the article, Reid immediately said that he did not know whether it was true that Romney had not paid (income) taxes for ten years.
For my part, I'm skeptical. I know very little about how taxes work for someone like Romney, but my understanding is that for him to pay zero taxes he would have to claim losses for that year. How could he claim losses not once but ten times during a time period when he was apparently dramatically increasing his net worth?
ROFLMAO!!!!!
It would be so easy to disprove the tax issue by simply releasing his tax forms. He chooses not to.
I have the right to WONDER WHY!!!!
This is getting to be really funny and it will get funnier as we go along. One thing is for sure. It is not going way!
Come on all you rightwingers let's hear it for your candidate..........THE TAX DODGER!!

You have to be "shown" the difference? Really? At your age?

Quite true.....
But Mitt needs to embrace that he is fucking rich.Release returns and say....So what? You don't like it, become rich too and you won't have to pay taxes

Does anyone honestly think that if the claim was true that the IRS wouldnt have thrown him in jail years ago?

You right wingers just don'[t get it. It is not a question of legal it is a question of ethics. Here we have this guy who is worth a quarter billion dollars, who professes to be this super patriot and he cannot bring himself to pay any taxes? Not even a lousy 10%?
This not only looks super bad, it IS super bad that one could be so self centered and selfish as to be bitching about poor people while he sits on this immense pile of wealth and does nothing?
You know what that is? Hypocrisy writ large. I don't think even the GOP could stomach that.
I can answer that for you. Obama's abysmal record forces him and his supporters to manufacture derogatory rumors and innuendos aimed at tearing down the opponent and making the opponent seem worse by comparison to that TOTALLY WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT, OBAMA!ROFLMAO!!!!!

it's easier to prove than that. Is he in jail for failing the pay taxes? Nope. Then it's a lie.
I dont know why you people are getting so desperate lately.
