All we want is a your Tax Returns, that’s all.
Why is Mitt Romney failing to disclose what every other U.S. Presidential candidate has done since the beginning of time? Pressure from the Obama re-election campaign team seems to be working. A senior campaign adviser of Mitt Romney has stated that Romney plans to disclose his 2011 tax return by October 15, but no other tax returns.
Mitt’s wife Ann Romney, defended their decision not to disclose any other tax returns on an interview with Natalie Morales for “Rock Center” with Brian Williams. ”Have you seen how we were attacked?, have you seen what’s happened? We have been very transparent to what’s legally required of us, but, the more we release the more we get attacked, the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed, and so we have done what’s legally required and so there will be no tax releases.”
Could It be possible that they haven’t paid any Tax Returns?
Congressman Paul Ryan, now Mitt Romney’s vice presidential man, released his 2010 and 2011 tax returns this past Friday. While Romney claim he’s never paid under 13.6%, Ryan’s tax returns proves he’s paid a rate of 20%, likely a lot higher than Mitt Romney’s.
Some wonder if this issue is being beat like a dead horse. The fact of the matter is, could you trust someone who doesn’t provide something so simple as tax returns? While it may appear to be an October surprise, it certainly wont be considering the rich often pay little or nothing in income taxes.
In the end, it will boil down to the Tax Returns.
So with an election in the horizon, this issue will not go away rest assured. It’s just what President Obama can count on in future debates. Romney has been known to engage in certain avoidance schemes with accounts in the Cayman Island and the Bahamas. This election could very well be decided on this issue alone.
At this point it’s fair to say this race will not be as close as some may think. The recent rebuttal to these attacks are “lets talk about jobs” but have yet to hear a plan coming from the Republicans on how this will happen.
If we don’t see tax returns from the Romney camp, this election may very well be a sweep by President Obama.
