Are Mitt Romney's Tax Returns Really Relevant To This Election?

Yes, Knowing What Is Contained In Mitt's Tax Returns Will Decide The Election For Me!
No!  It's Irrelevant And A Ploy To Distract Me From Barry's Incompetance!

Personally, I think all the emphasis on demands that Mitt Romney release 12 years of tax returns is nothing but an attempt to diffuse and distract from Barack Obama's dismal performance as President and a non-issue. Especially when Obama has done everything he can to seal his personal records... Seems a bit hypocritical? What do you think? Are the demands for Mitt Romney to release 12 years of tax returns really relevant to the issues facing struggling Americans who will decide this election, or just another ploy by the Obama camp to distract voters?

    Mitt Romney is not a stupid man I dont believe for a moment he failed to pay what he legally owed in Federal taxes unlike 51% who legally pay zero taxes and how it is 49% of us, are expected to carry a never ending load that just got 1.6 million illegals heavier thanks to Obama buying votes,stacking the "future" deck for Socialism and playing King.....

    List of just some of the things Romney could be hiding in his unreleased tax returns.

    1) That he is payed by a foreign power. (Treason!)

    2) That he payed very little tax. (Slime!)

    3) That he lied on SEC filings about when he left Bain Capital. (Felony!)

    4) That he lied on his State of Massachusetts Elections forms about his residence. (Felony!)

    5) That he has additional wives and children. (Bigamy!)

    6) That he has business connections to the pornography industry. (Slime!)


    OF COURSE, ROMNEY'S TAX RETURNS MATTER!

    Every one of your Talking Points, is exactly the Spin Points...
    1. He is and Has Been Unemployed since he was a Gov..
    2. His Low Taxable rate at 15.3%, is based on Investment and Capital Gains Tax rates..
    3.As CEO of Bain, SEC would have Discovered any Fraud...He Submitted his Resignation to Bain and The SEC, which is required of a CEO, 8-Days before Working for the Olympic Committee, another Requirement of Both SEC and Olympic Committee to avoid Conflict of Interest...Romney's Name as CEO Remains Until SEC removes Him as CEO, after their Review, and investigation to determine if still acting in an Official Capacity of Decision Making...which Voids the Resignation Completely and Then a Violation if Filed...
    None was Filed...SO as of Date of Resignation, NO Active Decision Making Responsibilities....
    These SEC Reviews Are Required of ALL Public Trading Corps, for their Exec Officers of Record..

    I cannot Belive the Other SPIN and Accusation You made on 4, 5 and 6...NOT Worthy of a Response to them....Must have Spent the Night With REID and His Alien Sources from Area 51...

    Romney Submitted 2-yrs worth...All That is required...
    If ODUMBO was So Concerned as His Idiot Press Stooge Carney Stated.."We Feel that Tax returns for Many years has always been prefered By This Predident"..
    If that Was the Case, Why Did He Not Question McCain's 2-yrs that he submitted...??
    Since 1984, Presidential Candidates have submitted 2-Yrs worth of Returns, Including Obama in 2008..

    Let Me Ask YOU this....
    What would YOU be More concerned about...
    How Much Money YOU have Left in your Pockets after ObamaCare and Increasing Taxes
    OR...How Much Money Romney has made...????

    By The way..the Reason Romney has paid only 15.3% in Taxes....Is Because HE has Earned NO Income, from Work, Since HE was Governor......
    His Income have been from Investments and Capital Gains...Taxed at a Lower Rate than Income Tax...

    Everyone is so upset that Romney has some (5%) of his money overseas but they don't question Obama's overseas income. Where is his money invested overseas. If you check out Obama's tax returns you will notice on his form 1116 the income from his foreign interests which include all of the standard deductions.

    Romney Has Not Erned Income from Actual Work since he was Governor...
