WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has what he says is an informed explanation for why Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns. According a Bain investor, Reid charged, Romney didn't pay any taxes for 10 years.
-snip-
"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son," Reid said, in reference to George Romney's standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.
Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.
"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.
"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?

holy fcking crap.
THIS is an election killer - IF it is true. It's a blessing this comes out BEFORE the Repub convention
-
Some unnamed investor called Harry Reid to say Romney didn't pay taxes? lol. This is hilarious. I assume this unnamed investor has seen Romney's tax returns? lol And that Romney was never audited? And that he broke the law? And that independents and Republicans care?
Oh yeah, it's over. Cancel Christmas. lol

here on getbig, we believe unnamed, unprovable statements that go completely against logic and fit motive perfectly.
like when obama will tell the most pro-gun lobbyist in the country that he plans to take guns from all americans. We believe that without evidence. In fact, when asked for evidence, a youtube clip of him retelling the story is considered ample evidence :)

Or you quoting an anonymous source (known only to one guy at Bloomberg) who claimed that Romney made a quote that no one else can verify. :)
-
If he did anything wrong the IRS would have audited and fined him.
How many people tell their CPA to make them pay the most possible?

pretty devestating standard of proof we have these days, I know. Still, the standards must be kept. It a guy says it, no matter his own agenda, we must not doubt.
Larry Sinclair approved.

33,
Romney didn't cheat or break a single law, I'm damn sure of that.
it's just that if he didn't pay a dime of taxes for 10 years, as we now know to be fact by GB standards, his approval rating will plummet to a level where he cannot win the election. Thus, Jeb/Rubio will step in and rescue the party.

BRILLIANT move by Harry Reid
Stating that a Bain investor told him that Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years.
Romney camp is now in a box.
They can't call Reid a liar, because then they would have to prove it by releasing 10 years worth of returns.
They can't ignore it, because that validates Reid's claim.
This is dirty pool by Reid

he has beeen audited
didn't they tell you that on Faux News or Breitbart ?
Maybe the reason he doesn't want to reveal his taxes is because of the penalties and fines he's had to pay for being a tax dodger

He said he's been audited. I can't imagine he hasn't been audited multiple times.

you can easily find my quotes criticizing Geither for his stupid tax "mistake" when he was going through the confirmation process
I believe I said it had to be either willful avoidance or profound stupidity
Feel free to go find it yourself and bump it if you're interested

It's not exactly relevent what grade Obama got in his freshman English class
It is relevent is a candidate is a tax dodger and/or has paid fines and penalties
most people can see the difference

you dont think that if romney had paid penalties that someone would have known about it or at least found out about it by now?

what do you think you would learn by seeing Obama's grades

We would learn that Obama was financed by the saudis, that he was a horrible student, that he was a radical, that he was pushed through because of AA all along, and it little more than a pot head communist w no business in any position of authority.

Post the entire quote or scan the pages where the quote appears so I can see the entire context

Tonight on CNN AC360, Anderson Copper opened his 'keeping them honest' segment with Sen. Harry Reid's recent tax allegation about Mitt Romney.
Cooper had CNN Capitol Hill reporter, Dana Bash on to discuss the story, according to Bash, her source can confirm Sen. Reid's allegation. Bash went even further, she said this source also personally knows the Bain source who would have access to Romney's tax record. If this Bain source story is true, then, Mitt Romney is in serious trouble. I'll have more later.
Update @Dana Bash tweets
"When Harry Reid doesn't like someone, he goes for the jugular." - @DanaBashCNN #Romney

Wow.... Team Romney said this wasnt true, months ago. If they lied, will that upset voters?

Romney has alreayd lied about his taxes and gotten caught and he still got elected but then he wasn't running for POTUS and he wasn't running agaisn't Obama.
BTW - at the time the controversy was about whether Romney was actually a resident of MA and one of his arguments was that he had always paid taxes as MA resident and it turns out he had not been paying taxes as a MA resident.

christie and jeb would have just come out and said "look, this is my business, go take a leap off something tall onto something sharp - I'm too busy fixing america..."
Romney refused to release them (cool) but then started asserting as fact things that are only proveable by releasing them. Ya can't do that. "Detective, I didn't kill her, and my alibi proves it, but I'm not going to release my alibi".
If the tax returns are off limits, then he can't use them as proove to answer questions. "Did you pay zero taxes, mitt"? "I"m not answering that, I'm not releasing them.

"John McCain saw 23 years of Romney's tax returns and THEN picked Sarah Palin!"

here are Christie's thoughts on the subject (which mirrors virtually every other prominent Republican)
"The way I've conducted myself in my public life all along is I've released all my tax returns, and I did it during the campaign," Christie said Wednesday morning on MSNBC, "went back a number of years and released my tax returns, and I've released them every year after I filed them -- right after I filed them to the public in New Jersey so they can see everything. And I think that's the right way to go, and that's what I would tell Gov. Romney to do."

Christie, like ghettobama, has been on the public dole most of his life and can't really play w his taxes like mittens did.
And good for mittens if he did too.

how about Dick Cheney,
He was the CEO of Halliburton and never had any issue with releasing his taxes
The argument just doesn't work
Virtually all leading Repubs have called for Romney to release his returns
My suspicion is that Romney was audited (which he admitted) and was found to have been using illegal tax evasion schemes (which we know he had knowlege of becuase he was the chair of the audit committe when Marriot was engaging in these schemes and got caught) and was forced to pay penalties and back taxes
I supect this because of Romeny's statment that he paid all taxes legally owed and NOT A PENNY more

Of course you are not. Your stupid ass is boxed in the little Hypocrisy corner and you can't get out unless you condemn your little candidate or just flat out lie.
You find yourself like this every single day on this board.

I am not wasting 3 seconds on your imaginary bullshit. No one watches your videos anyway.
Now you post the minute and second where Obama himself says that, I will watch it.
Minute. Second. It's only three minutes.. ::) Shouldn't take you that long to find it. Unless of course, it is like the rest of your bullshit and simply not there.
