Romney Won't Release Tax Returns Because He 'Wants To Beat Barack Obama'

[etherraichu]

Why Wont Romney Release his Tax Return like every other president does? What does he have to hide? I remember hearing from republicans a lot, that why should we be afraid of the patriot act if we have nothing to hide.

How very fast they forget their own rules. Oh well. Have fun trying to win an argument on youtube everyone! Its 100% impossible!

[smithbc81]

Sad that your tax returns are a weapon. What are you hiding? Douch.

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

Silence is louder, dumb ass.

[Skullworld]

How smug.

[UncoveringConscious]

We don't need them. We Have Ron Paul !!

[130hc]

12 offshore accounts in the cayman islands holding around 30million dollars.Romney doesnt want his money taxed and he doesnt want nobody to know,thats not honest.Ron Paul 2012 :)

[TheTruthHurts9999]

Well, Mittens - if your tax returns are clean as a whistle then where is the 'present' to the Democrats? Fishy as always.

[LBurris597]

Each hour he doesn't release his tax returns, makes him look elitest and not one of the tea party folk.

[deepen2011]

there is so much dirt on him for this.. Mitt is finished.. time for Santorum or Gingrich to win the nomination.. then step aside and lose in a lanslide to President Barack Obama! #Obama2012!

[dleechristy]

In other words, he has a lot to hide

Why worry unless he gamed the system!!! Why has he paying a MUCH lower rate than most upper middle class working people? What does it say about tax cuts for the rich as we've had for 30 years???

I predict he will release this past year but will NEVER release 12 years like his father - Because he has "sanitized" and shifted things recently to run for president but the most shady crap will remain buried.

THIS guy is the 1% personified.

[elitephpcoder]

@dleechristy Yes he is, and he will never become president. The RON PAUL movement which currently makes up 30-40% of the republican party and even larger when you count independents and blue dogs WILL NEVER vote to support romney. Most will say fuck it and stay home.. because we realize Romney is a weak shadow of Obama. At least we know HOW Obama will screw us all over, he is predictable.

[yowowulu1]

That's fine if Mitt Romney doesn't want to release his tax returns. We can now imagine what he might be hiding: extremely high wealth, extremely low taxes, investments in overseas companies that compete with US companies, lack of charity giving, donations to ultra-conservative organizations, etc. etc. At the very least we can assume he's taken advantage of every loophole and shelter his wealth affords him. Legal, probably. Good qualities in a leader in times of extreme income inequity. No.

[StoogeWatcher]

Democrats are attacking Romney for not releasing his tax returns, but they were defending Charlie Rangel not PAYING taxes. Democrats love tax hikes because they don't pay theirs.

[dunivant66]

Beat President Obama, talk about grandiosity; Romney hasn't a clue. Obama 2012!!!

[itsacanething]

the reason he won't release them is it will be a disaster for him. the man trying to tell us that the tax system needs reform rather than raising taxes on the super rich but yet he takes advantage of the very loopholes that people think need to be closed. this guy makes me laugh.

[Neoconhater]

Mitt is a coward, and just a pathetic candidate like the rest of the gop group of clowns.

Mitt could be half the man of his father and release six years of tax returns, but he wont because he's full of crap. Mitt knows people don't like greedy chumps like him, he's made tens of millions but likely paid 15 percent or lower.

Mitt is the one percent, he's a greedy selfish stutter talking idiot and not fit to be president.

[StoogeWatcher]

@Neoconhater Liberals are cowards. They want tax hikes, but won't pay the taxes they already owe.

[yowowulu1]

@StoogeWatcher Obama released his and he did pay his taxes. Who exactly are the liberals who don't pay their taxes? I pay mine (way over 15%). Everyone I know pays theirs. Who are these mythical tax evaders you speak of?

[StoogeWatcher]

@yowowulu1 Charlie Rangel, John Kerry, Claire McCaskill, Tim Geithner, Ron Kirk, Hilda Solis, Kathleen Sebelius, the entire Kennedy family, Warren Buffett

[yowowulu1]

@StoogeWatcher I see. And all those people have been convicted and no Republicans ever have?

[StoogeWatcher]

@yowowulu1 None of them ever spent a day in jail for tax evasion. In fact, they only had to pay the back taxes without penalties or interest. Rep John Carter (R-TX) tried to enact such legislation that would allow people to avoid jail time for not paying taxes, but you Democrats voted it down.

[SenseOfRumor]

@StoogeWatcher You make shit up, don't you?

[StoogeWatcher]

@SenseOfRumor Look it up, liberal moron.

[SenseOfRumor]

@StoogeWatcher All we have to do is "look (you) up" to find out who the "moron" is around here.

[StoogeWatcher]

@SenseOfRumor You Democrats are the morons because you advocate tax hikes while refusing to pay yours.

[SenseOfRumor]

@StoogeWatcher You don't have a clue, do you? You should get out more.

[StoogeWatcher]

@SenseOfRumor You Democrats don't have a clue. You said you were going to "drain the swamp". You said you would have "the most open, most honest, most ethical Congress in history" yet you defended a tax cheat running the Treasury and another tax cheat writing our tax laws.

[SenseOfRumor]

@StoogeWatcher The swamp isn't quite drained yet because you're not gone.

[StoogeWatcher]

@SenseOfRumor The swamp only festered because of Democrats like you who encourage corruption. In fact, Pelosi kept defending Charlie Rangel.

[SuperRegal79]

@StoogeWatcher Projection is a horrible thing.Its right winged fuckwads like you who've made this country the laughing stock on an international scale.Go watch faux news or something.By the way "stoogewatcher" you might want to think of a new youtube s/n because calling yourself "stoogewatcher" indicates to the intelligent that you are somehow watching yourself.

[StoogeWatcher]

@SuperRegal79 You Democrats are the fuckwads. You demand tax hikes, but you are unwilling to pay the taxes you already owe. And I watch stooges like you blame America for everything and make excuses for your hatred. The world has hated America since 1946. Gordon Sinclair was right about you Blame America Firster Democrats. Go back to your DNCNN or MSNBC the Obama Channel.

[machinesbreathe]

@StoogeWatcher Gee... Does somebody generalize much?

[elitephpcoder]

@StoogeWatcher Democrats and Republicans are the same thing, if you don't know that by now, well you shouldn't be voicing you opinion. It's time to rise above the labels people and take our freedom back. Vote for Ron Paul, for freedom & prosperity, to end the wars, the federal reserve and downsize the government to a sustainable level. Most Zombie republicans AND democrats both share the same trait; ignorance and a lack of understanding of what real freedom is. RON PAUL 2012!

[ace8842]

No one cares about this tax return issue...Santorum hadn't done his, most candidates never released them this early....CNN tried to make a big deal about this last night but no one cares.

[blognewb]

@ace8842 well you obviously do care. You even cared enough that it made you want to comment.

[LBurris597]

@ace8842 Of course everyone is concerned about the tax return issue AND Newt's infedelties. It shows how two-face liars and con-artists the the Republican Party promotes.

[ace8842]

@LBurris597 They are not concerned about the tax returns, at least not now. I talked to a lot of people about this. No candidate usually releases their tax returns this early. Why is Mitt being asked to do something that is not customary. I have no doubt that he didn't do anything unethical...
