Brown’s tax release argument at odds with Romney’s
Boston Globe ^ | April 24, 2012 | Matt Viser

US Senator Scott Brown is pressuring his reelection rival Elizabeth Warren to release six years worth of her tax returns, but his strategy could have some unintended consequences: drawing more attention to his fellow Massachusetts Republican, Mitt Romney.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee so far has refused to divulge years of his tax returns, saying that one year – along with promises to release this year’s return when it is complete, sometime before this fall’s general election – should suffice.

But Brown, whose top political advisers are the same as Romney’s, is making the exact opposite argument. His campaign argues that the public deserves to see numerous years. Related

Warren to release 4 years of returns, Brown to release 6

“The tax years you are attempting to conceal contain important and potentially revealing information,” Browns’ campaign manager, Jim Barnett, wrote in a letter today to Warren, his Democratic challenger.

I personally believe Romney has nothing to hide. He is simply busy campaigning and will release his tax returns soon.

A. The MSM will do anything to make Mitt look bad now that he is the presumptive nominee.

B. He just has to say I will release these tax returns when The Won release his college transcripts and records as a Senator (state and fed).

This meme that Brown hurts Romney seems to be orchestrated. Chuck Todd was offering the same spin.

Slick Willard has everything to hide. Just like all Socialist con artists.
