Are you among the growing number of Americans who are reluctant to vote for a candidate who refuses to share his financial records with the American public? Do you find it impossible to vote for someone who is running on his record as a business person yet refuses to allow the AMerican people to see his complete record?

If so, then will you be satisfied if he releases only 5 years of his tax returns?

The more the merrier, but I'd be satisfied with five years.

I'm satisfied with two

Non issue

A non-issue? This is huge issue. Romney will not have the vote of Conservatives who actually care about integrity - like I do - until he stops disrespecting the American people by hiding his business record that he is claiming that he is running on. Not only does it show a total lack of respect for the American people - it also shows incredible stupidity on the part of RINO Romney. He is putting his campaign people and spokesmen in the unfortunate position of having to try to explain to voters why Romney is hiding things from them. This issue is in the news everyday. His campaign workers are being forced to defend an position that is unethical. Which is sorta like selling snake oil. He is going to lose campaign workers left and right as this issue continues.

Too bad he hasn't even released one complete return then, eh?
 
Re: If Romney Releases Only 5 years of his Tax Returns, Will that Satisfy you?

I'd be fine if he only released the bare minimum. If he has paid all of his taxes and has no problems with the IRS, then in my opinion, there's no problem. I don't expect him to pay more money than he has to, just like I wouldn't expect someone of a lower class to pay more than they have to. If anyone has a problem with what he pays, it's a governmental issue, not a Romney issue.

It only becomes a "huge issue" to liberals when people start talking about Obama's failed record as president

You should be directing this question to Obama. He is the one driving this taxer issue...along with the help of the compliant mainstream media. Plus, you should find out first if Romney is willing to release any tax returns.

Otherwise, you whole question is a useless exercise in mental masturbation.

But, hey...what ever gets your rocks off, eh?
 
Re: If Romney Releases Only 5 years of his Tax Returns, Will that Satisfy you?

Romney is not going to release his full returns. Never happen. He didn't when he ran for governor. He isn't going to do it now. Obviously he has something to hide. It's rather silly that people pretend that he doesn't. That said, I wouldn't vote for him no matter what he released nor would I vote for Obama. Corpgov owns both of them. No thank you very much.

I'm not one of that growing number of Conservatives. I've never looked at the released tax records of any president; that's not what is ever going to determine who I vote for. We all vote in our own self-interests. My self-interests (and, I believe, those of our country, btw...) are served by having a more conservative man in the White House than Obama. Period. End of story.

If Obama is elected, and he has the Democratic votes to get it done (like his first two years), I fully expect an amnesty program that will turn people's hair grey, a mass forgiveness of student loans, and other liberal policies that will take our country further down the road towards Greece and others.

I have faith in Romney to change the course.

S o you can pay no inheritance taxes like Romeny?

Do you get to pay zero taxes like Romney in the Caymans?

His USA taxes do not matter because he HAS NO (relivant amount) of MONEY in USA.

And no - its not OK that the rich get to pay no taxes while the rest of us have to pay them. (because we are excluded from the Caymans and Swiss acounts)

I will be satisfied when the American worker pays the same taxes as Romney.

Romney paid $3,000,000 last year. Is that what you want the American worker to pay?

I fugure he paid about a 1% TAX rate over all from USA and tax free money stashed in the Caymans.

So that means USA workers need to pay 1% taxes.........:lol: ...

$3 mil in USA.

how much did he pay in the Caymans?
or Isle of man?
or Swiss accounts?

(all ZERO LOL, because they have no cap gains taxes)

Honestly - I don't give a damn about his financial history.

I'm not equating that into my elective decisions. . . I think it's petty.

I see it this way: all of them are filthy rich bastards and some are richer than others.

The Democrats need those tax returns in order to fully unleash the class warfare angle. It isn't a matter of wanting verify that Romney fallowed the rules and filed a legal return. They want to take his returns, dissect them, and then paint Romney as the typical rich guy who "isn't paying his fair share". It doesn't matter that ending the Bush tax cuts for top earners won't even put a scratch in the deficit. They just need fuel for their narrative, that's it.

I suspect that Romney will give them 2011 and nothing more. If I were him I would do the same.

Addressing the bold specifically: he gave his entire inheritance to charity. Why should he have to pay taxes on it, assuming what you say is true?

Well if that is his only reason for not releasing them, then he might as well release them because he has already been framed as the posterboy for the 1percenters. Not releasing them only makes him look more dishonest. Whereas if he releases them, he will still be the typical rich guy posterboy, but at least he will be someone that the AMerican public feels is dealing with us in a straight-up and honest manner.

The American people have voted for rich guys before. What we wont vote for is someone who is obviously hiding something or lying to us.

So, if you are being truthful, you won't vote for Obama because he is hiding his college records, his selective service records, his passport records, and his true ideology. He also lied to you:
"unemployment will stay below 8% if we pass stimulus" "gitmo will be closed by january 2010" " I will have no lobbyists in my administration" " I will put the healthcare debate on c_span"
"you didn't build it" "corpseman" "57 states"

I am glad to hear that you won't be voting for obama.

Huge issue? I would say the economy, unemployment, and the debt are huge issues. This is a distraction.

His reason for not releasing them seems pretty obvious, at least to me.

The SECOND he does there is going to be an all out blitz by the Obama camp and a non stop media frenzy. For weeks on end the details of his returns are going to be all that is talked about... regardless of whether there is anything in them that is even questionable. It gives Obama the chance to go on the offensive. In terms of strategy, why on earth would he provide that opportunity if he doesn't have to? He already provided 2010 and has promised 2011. This seems like the smart way to go.... give the public a little bit while not providing the opposition with too much.

It's all tactical at this point and, personally, I don't believe the guy is a tax cheat.

exactly right, people in that income bracket are audited every year. If there was anything amiss, the IRS would have a case on record against him and obama would have access to that. This is a distraction, nothing more.

I'm not sure President Obama "would have access to that," Bobcat.

But this again points to the need for a formal out-in-the-sunshine vetting process for every candidate for President. It seems so very logical to me. Things I think the public has a right to know, as identified by the Constitution of the United States:

Is the candidate a natural citizen?
Is the candidate at least 35 years old?
Has the candidate lived in the United States fourteen years?

Other things I think the public has a right to know:

Copies of five years' tax returns.
Any findings of tax fraud, going back, oh, I don't know....forever.
Service record.
College record.

I'm sure there are others, but it seems like these four have been pounded home this election. I can't even imagine a downside.
