Do you think the IRS failed to audit him?
Do you suspect he committed tax fraud?
Or do you think maybe this is part of obama’s class envy war? Do you think Romney's releasing tax records will end it? Or play into it?
Do you think Romney is too rich to get elected?
Is income honestly earned and wealth honesty built a disqualifier in this election?
Is that in the US Constitution?
Personally I think Romney should release ONLY past 2 yrs of tax returns, his tax returns from his time as Gov of Massachusetts since he was a public servant then, his birth certificate to prove his Constitutional eligibility to by US president, and his school transcripts from kindergarten through law school to prove his academic achievements.
Then refuse any further comment on those publicly posted records
Game On.
One can only hope that Romney and his team strategized his response not to release his records. Apparently, Perry disagrees with that strategy.
We know that team Obama could give a rip about earning money in the capitalist system. That argument got Gingrich to back off because conservatives gave him grief over it. But Obama isn’t talking to conservatives. He knows he’s not getting any of them, anyway.
He hasn’t been talking class envy for 2 years because he thinks it’s ineffective. He talking to a whole base of people out there who listen to it.
So, Romney team has made the right call or the wrong call.
1. They think keeping this as the discussion point instead of focusing on the economy has some payoff.
2. They think that releasing the records would be worse than keeping the topic off the economy.
3. They think this will die out.
4. Perhaps they think it’s a way to focus on Obama’s not releasing his records.
Whatever the answer, time will tell if it’s the right strategy.
As mentioned, Perry disagrees with it.
