It's kind of his own fault if people think he did something illegal....by being so opaque. I am not convinced though that many will think he's done something illegal. It is relatively common knowledge that the very rich are able to game the system.Allow me to summarize:
"We are going to show you that Mitt Romney is FILTHY rich. We are also going to show you how he used the tax laws to legally avoid paying his FAIR SHARE of taxes. And while we will not provide any evidence he broke any laws, by the time we are done you will believe we have done exactly that."
.
I don't think he broke any laws.
You are above the average intelligence of the intended audience for this kind of stuff. I think a lot of people will conclude he did something illegal.
And yes, someone did waterboard me until I said you were above average intelligence.
But for some reason he wants to hide how much he's profited off the system. And lower the rates even more for people like him at the expense of the rest of the country.
Romney wishes to hide his finances precisely because of class envy. He seems inordinately embarrassed about his wealth, but he shouldn't.
He does want to eliminate taxes on long term capital gains, which would probably benefit him and every other filthy rich person. I am undecided on the wisdom of that.

And I seriously doubt he fears class envy, lol.
