Hmmmm....... Now if he has accumulated a hundred million in IRA's and not paid taxes for a couple of years, wouldn't look so good to many who have had a very rough time since 2008.
Of course, all he has to do is release those tax returns to put an end to all of this.
Yes, if he released all of them, it would all just go away, right?
I laugh at you rocks. The next thing would be that no one man should be so rich.
Really? If he does not, he is going to lose bigtime from the perception that he did indeed avoid paying taxes on the millions he has made. While the rest of us were paying our taxes during hard times. If he releases them, and he has paid the legal amount that he owes, then all one can say is the tax code needs an overhaul.
Of coarse, if one finds that he found a way to avoid paying taxes at all, then it will hit the fan. So, refusal to release the tax returns, and many reject him at the polls. Release them, and they show he paid the very low rate of overall taxes compared to the middle class, and the numbers don't change. Gains no votes, loses none, either. Releases them, and they show a couple of years of paying no taxes. Disaster.
Seems a reasoable choice would be to release the returns. Unless Reid stated the truth.
