Romney can't release his returns, and it's costing him
« on: August 10, 2012, 08:16:49 AM »
Look at the excuses Mitt has offered up:


Democrats are mean.

His tax returns are politically damaging.

It's none of "you people's" business.

He's not a business, even though he insists "corporations are people, my friend."

His stonewalling has led to significant drops in the polls.

His coments, reports about his business dealings and his stonewalling guarantees that his tax returns are going to be thoroughly inspected. If he doesn't release them soon, he'll continue to get hammered.

It's a lose-lose for Mitt.

Which brings to mind this claim by Abby Huntsman, Jon Huntsman's daughter:


In fact, according to people close to the situation, Romney would drop out of the presidential race before ever releasing further tax returns. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/abby-huntsman/mitt-romney-tax-returns_b_1675711.html

"Her hands aren't clean. She can't claim to be disclosing anything until she discloses the returns of her husband, the Enron lobbyist. Under Shannon O'Brien, the state Pension Board lost millions by buying Enron stock when it was collapsing -- what is she hiding?" - Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney spokesman in his 2002 race against O'Brien.

This is an old story by now but it hasn't lost its relevance given Romney's continued stonewalling. O'Brien had already released thirteen years of her own tax returns, and Romney still didn't think it was enough. Why is it so difficult for him to grasp that he should abide by the rules that he has personally imposed on everyone else?
