A Philosophical Question on Romney’s Tax Returns
If a tree falls in the forest and Mitt Romney still hasn’t released his tax returns, does it make a sound? Is there any message at all that Romney can communicate until he stops the din of people braying for his tax returns? The charge is “out there.” For ten years, Mitt Romney paid nothing at all in taxes. If it isn’t true, then Romney has the easiest slam-dunk in history. He can make Harry Reid look like either a gullible fool or a complete liar. How could an honest Republican politician pass up such a golden opportunity to defend his honor while blasting the reputation of one of Washington’s most powerful Democrats? What is in those tax returns that is so damaging to Romney’s chances that he’d saddle himself with this controversy rather than humiliating his accusers?
Pretty soon, Romney is going to announce his running mate. We’ll chew that over for 72 hours or so, and then we’ll go right back to asking Romney to release his tax returns. We’ll want to know how many years of tax returns Romney saw from his running mate and why we can’t see those, too. Romney gave 23 years of tax returns to John McCain. And McCain chose Palin.
No one is going to listen to Romney until he comes clean.

Reid is Right as Rain …and Willard is all Wet.
‘Cause Americans have a RIGHT to see the tax returns
of anyone who wants to be their President!
NO if’s, …No and’s, ….and NO big fat butt’s about it!
Confession is good for the soul Mitt….. assuming you have one.
So Relax, Repent, and Release your Returns, Mr. Romney …OR…
just go back to playing with your pet dancing ponies.
No problem. We’ll understand. Unless …perhaps ….just perhaps
…you’re HIDING something, dear Willard? Just asking.
P.S. By the way, Mr. Mitt: just how DID you manage to stuff all those millions into your
tax-loophole IRA account?… while the REST of us poor smucks have strict limits?
Inquiring minds want to know.
And you want even MORE tax cuts for you and your rich buddies, Mitt?
WHAT GALL! These fat cats aren’t satisfied – they want it ALL …EVERYTHING!!
But tell me Mitt, just how MANY cars and houses can you hog?
And just how MANY silver spoons can you stuff into your smirking mouth?
Mitt baby, you can fool some of the people some of the time,
but -please- take my advice: if you want to run for dog-catcher
KEEP your precious tax returns, and just clean off your car roof.
OTHERWISE, if you wanna be our President, THEN PUT UP,
…or shut up and go away ….preferably BEFORE the convention.
The super-rich think that they have the God-given right to do anything
they want in this great country -while the REST of us get screwed!
ENOUGH!!! The divine right of kings ended a long long time ago Mitt.
And so should your sorry excuse for a candidacy.
Nothing personal, guy. Really.
Rich, arrogant, power-hungry Republicans are people too!
It’s just their “culture” I guess. …..As you are so fond of saying.
