Should Mitt Romney’s tax returns be a campaign issue?
Yes. As a presidential candidate, Romney is obligated to be more transparent
No. I don’t care if he releases his returns, and I don’t care how much he’s paid in taxes
Only if Dems have hard proof that his tax bills were inordinately low

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
“And obozo’s records of everything?”
Two stubborn acts don’t make anything right. Just release the GD things. If you’re a gazillionaire and haven’t broken any tax laws, who gives a crap. The more money the better. If you can figure out how to keep it - rmember the old saying, it isn’t how much you make, it’s how much you keep that matters - then God Bless.
If there have been dodgy tax stuff. let’s get it out in the open and deal with it.
Cripes. We KNOW Obama is hiding something and we’ve bitched about it for years. Mitt should walk naked around the country if he has to...what better way to say there - I got nothing to hide - I showed you mine, now show me yours!
Done!
That includes mine. I"d like to see some reciprocity first ~ on his part, or maybe he can promise to suspend ALL AUDITS so that we don't even need to file!
fox leftist radio news has been peddling this tired
obama media pr scam non stop all day.
Fox is just as leftist and Obama media whores as the rest of the evil lot.
we turned off Fox about a year ago and never looked back.
BTW, Romney’s own claim that he was paying barely more than 13% demonstrates that he was paying taxes at an inordinately low rate ~ much lower than my own ~ certainly much too low for the kind of income he claimed to have.
I keep fanning the dim flames of hope. Things like CFA (and now I hope Support Wednesdays) and Chris the Baker give me hope. Not everyone here likes Hannity but I always take his “let not your heart be troubled” philosophy as some comfort.
Our latest hopeful note:
Thank you for voting!
Yes. As a presidential candidate, Romney is obligated to be more transparent 7.6%
No. I don’t care if he releases his returns, and I don’t care how much he’s paid in taxes 86.09%
Only if Dems have hard proof that his tax bills were inordinately low 6.3%

Heh heh heh ... if that happened, you’d have to spend a fortune on car washes getting all that pigshit off the top of your car everyday. And the umbrellas we’d need...
This "we want more" is just a diversion by the Dems. And when/if he does release more, those will become another diversion for the Dems.
Let's face it....anything that keeps the Dems off the real issues is welcome....
Why should you release stuff when it is not required. Do you release all your records to your neighbors if they ask you to so they will like you better? Whats the point if you don't like Romney and you think he is “dodgy” don't vote for
him but don't for a second believe that a release of Romney records will produce Obama records to be released. Obama lies.
Hell, no. Obozo is just trying to create a distraction from his dismal and continued failures in office. DON'T RELEASE ANY MORE TAX RETURNS...just to piss off Obama. Not important anyway.
Where are Obozo's college transcripts?
Where is Obozo's "Real" birth certificate?
What was Obozo's "true" relationship with Tony Rezco? With Blago? With Ayers?
And on, and on, and on, and on.
Yes it should be one of their "issues" it is what they do.. but our response should be ridicule.
Laugh at them.
But talk to the apolitical and independents about tax receipts of ALL politicians and the records of presidential candidates that were released by the majority of candidates in the past.
so WHO CARE about this sorry attempt to avoid talking the real issues outside of Leftists TROLLS?????
Hold the phone, there, muawiyah. The 13% rate claimed by Romney isn’t so far off, nothing that the largest portion of his income likely comes from dividend and LT capital gains, which are taxed at different rates than the meager incomes of “we the people”.
That 13% is probably pretty well correct. And, it seems the IRS doesn’t have any issue with his returns, to this point.
Yes, the 13% number is lower than my effective tax rate, too. But, it’s not accurate to demonize the Romney’s due to the source of the income.
Yep. Anything but talk about Obomas record.
I think what Oboma has done ( and plans on doing) to harm the country is more important, because if we don't talk about that, he could squeeze out another 4 years to create his hell on earth.
Looks like some FReepin’s been going on!
:-)
If Romney’s deductions were legal he was only doing what every other taxpayer tries to do: minimize his tax liability.
Thank you for voting!

I disagree with you. The administration and media will run nonstop stories if he does release them, and will just be another distraction from the issues at hand.
This would be cow towing to them, and I think Romney is right in not giving in to them. It would show that he can be bullied.
Nope, it won’t serve any purpose for him to do so, and personally, I don’t care.
