Romney tax returns are the same as Fast/Furious docs?

Maybe disclosing how much he made from Bain during the outsourcing years?

The fact that one has Swiss or Cayman Island accounts does not mean that one is doing anything wrong despite what that jackass Durbin spun on Sunday. Furthermore, people of Romney's wealth do not usually directly manage their finances. I don't seem to recall the left being up in arms over John Kerry's wealth, but then GW Bush wasn't orchestrating a class warfare election campaign. I'm still waiting for Obama's vaunted academic records to show me how smart he is.

Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, the GOP's tack vis-a-vis Kerry was just about exactly like the tack taken by the Dem's against Romney. There are so many similarities between the two that it is almost eery.

As for accounts in Switzerland, the Caymans and Bermuda, wasn't it Gingrich and Santorum who first criticized Romney for this?

The President has prostrated himself over and over again for the Repubs demands of this or that. So how is it proper for Romney to claim that his finances should be kept secret when he's running for the Presidency on a campaign that states he knows far better how to run the economy? Avoiding conflict of interest or any appearance of such is a governing principle in our society except when it is applied to the Romney?

So why won't Mitt Romney disclose his tax forms like every other candidate?
Does it mean where there is smoke, there is fire? Most likely, it is starting to appear

Could it just be the taste of ashes in the throat of the Romney camp is why they always try to deflect, obfuscate and trivialize this very important information that everyone else provides when asking for peoples votes?

Sheesh BH - class warfare? You can't be serious or be taken for such if this is the defense of keeping Romney's tax returns top secret. As soon as Romney puts those boney legs in the stirrups and submits to a peek at his finances the better.

One of my Gramp's truisms
1.) People drink alcohol to feel the effects of the drug, not for how the drink itself tastes. He ran booze for the mob btw in the Boston area in the 1920s.
2.) My extrapolation-people put money in overseas accounts either for tax evasion and/or to keep the money secret.

Obama made it into the Ivy League. I take it you did not. I could be wrong.
Many with less intelligence and more of Daddy's money have also made it into the Ivy League. It is not where you go to school it is what you do with it after you leave. That goes for Harvard or San Diego state.

For me this proves Romney is out of touch with the average American. To even think having multiple overseas bank accounts is something a middle class voter would not think of as anything but a tax dodge. He is thinking quite low of the average intelligence of the voter. But then again he is counting on that with his target voter, one who thinks zero taxes is the way to go!

This should prolly go in "Conspiracy" but it may be for a reason most have not thought of. He might not have given his full 10% (pre tax) to the Church. If not his temple recommend is revoked and he does not have the title of "god" in his future.
