Why Won’t Romney Release More Tax Returns?

Quote from 124nic8 : Except your idea of "fair" is out of step with the vast majority of Americans..

And just what is fair, about having such a large portion of our population, with no skin in the game?
You don't give a damn about "fair."
Neither do all of those lying farks on the Hill. They just want to lock up that voting base.

Quote from 124nic8 : Because all the past Presidential winners have released 6 or more years of tax returns. The lowering of the IQ is the people who agree with Romney when he asks to be trusted that he's an honest guy.

all past presidential winners? Really? When did the presidential candidates start disclosing their tax returns?

So, you are implying Romney has broken tax laws? I assume you have facts to back this up.

I suggest you voluntarily turn over 6 years of your returns with each job application you submit.


==================
I'll save you the effort of backing up your statement "all the past Presidential winners have released 6 or more years of tax returns"

I guess your definition of "all" differs from the dictionary. I guess counting to 6 is difficult.

Why not respect an individuals right to privacy (even if that person has an R after their name).

Quote from Iaaaiws : I imagine that includes the almost half that don't pay any federal income tax. I'm sure they are pretty happy knowing they don't have to carry any of the burden yet get to receive all of the benefits.

"All of the benefits"? You must be joking!

Overwhelmingly, the people who benefit by far the most in this country are the highly paid executives, hedgefund managers and business owners.

Not very interesting and very naive speculation.

It is fair that people who have to choose between paying Federal Income tax and putting food on the table, and sheltering their families, get to do the latter.

Sorry, I meant all of the recent winners. Going back to Nixon.

And I would if it was required and I really wanted the job.

I respect his right to choose what's more important: getting the job or releasing his returns.

What speculation? That's your sides base.

Tell me some more about naivety nic...

Quote from 124nic8 : Overwhelmingly, the people who benefit by far the most in this country are the highly paid executives, hedgefund managers and business owners.

The people who benefit the most of the bottom 30% who have a relatively high standard of living compared to the other billions on this planet. Our "safety net" system gives them shelter, food, transportation, phones, TV, free education, etc...The billions in those other countries have none of that and struggle daily to survive. And, many of our bottom 30%, expect and in some instances, demand more from "the rich". If our bottom 30% acted like they do here in other countries, they'd starve to death.

If that is the case then you would think the economy would be booming with all of those greedy wealthy bastards having it so good and eager to expand their empires and make more. I wonder what is holding them back if it isn't getting screwed by the government every way they turn.

Quote from OhNoItsDEVO : What speculation? That's your sides base. Tell me some more about naivety nic...

Your naive speculation is that Dem legislators only give away welfare because "They just want to lock up that voting base."

You're just ascribing a cynical motive when you've no idea what's in every Democratic legistalor's heart.

In fact it is you who appears to be the cynic.

Why do you think the 1% "having it so good" is the key to a booming economy?

Esp when recent evidence is that the 1% is having unprecedented success and the economy is in the dumper.

I've never gotten a job from a poor person.

It's the blind leading the blind nic.

I'm sure some do it out of the kindness of their heart, but they are misguided, and doing more harm to this country than good.

Call me naive...

Quote from 124nic8 : Right now, he would rather the subject of discussion be the economy rather than what's in his tax returns

And what is wrong with that? We should be talking about the economy and coming up with ways to fix it. Apparently you would rather sweep the economy under the rug and focus on Romney's wealth. I guess I'm supposed to be more concerned with what Romney does with his money rather than what Obama is doing and will do with mine. SMH.

Appeal to popularity fallacy.
