That old scrapper and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has become the Republicans' number one enemy. The GOP is calling him a liar but Harry Reid isn't backing off his claims that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years. Watch it.
When we talk about Mitt Romney & his taxes, his business model & etc.............we are talking about the economy!!!!!!!!!!!!.........not a change of the subject like the Radical Republicans claim!!!!!!!!

@the media:
It is so simple & easy to ask:
Hey Mitt, why do you keep your money over there instead of over here? Why?
Why do you invest over there instead of over here?
In my opinion these are legitimate questions that Mitt needs to defend............Mitt needs to defend why he is withholding information from the public & from the media............Why won't you release your tax returns Mitt? In my opinion when someone is withholding information, they are opening up themselves to speculation...........just because something is logically speculated doesn't make the conclusion false.................it is the truth when the statement is made that Mitt keeps his money over there instead of over here to avoid paying USA taxes...........all you have to do is look at someone else who is doing it who isn't hiding the key information & compare.................we all know it is done to avoid paying taxes......that is factual..................Mitt is doing it too, but the difference is that he is running for President.............& in my opinion it has everything to do with the economy..same subject.....not a subject change like the GOP claim!!!!!!!!

I'm beginning to think that no one with any private money all over the world, should be allowed to run for President of the U.S. When will people realize that Mittens is a mouthpiece for the Koch Brothers and all of the other 1%? Robin Hood in reverse - exactly what I thought long ago. Our WI governor, Scott Walker has the reverse issue going as well. Shame on them. What goes around comes around - what you reap, so shall you sow. I'm tired of so-called "Christians" that have nothing but dollar signs to represent them.

What Harry Reid is saying is True...........
There is enough evidence if you connect all the dots & cross all the T's about Mitt Romney's finances to logically conclude that he keeps his money on foreign soil, sets up a Charity off shore, invests off shore & etc to logically conclude it is all to avoid paying USA taxes.
Why does Mitt Keep his money off shore? To pay more taxes or to pay no taxes?

The only way to prove Harry Reid is not telling the truth is "Mitt Romney releasing his tax returns"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a Democratic Leader who doesn't get intimidated by a bunch of Radical Republican bullies!!!!!!!!!!!
Calling Harry Reid a LIAR is speculation, because what Harry Reid is saying just happens to be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mitt's wife pays gas taxes when the butler fills her matching Cadillacs. Besides, Mitt fills his pick up truck and Mustang and pays the obscene job destroying federal gasoline taxes on the job creators too.

Wow. You go Harry. I hope Reid's leadership will inspire one or two more Democrats to grow a pair and join in to demand the obvious. Maybe they could also show up on the rapidly declining relevance shows hosted by George Stephanopolous or David Gregory and go head to head with the giant intellect of Ann Coulter or Bobby Jindal.

Hi slaw dog---i was think deception also, but deception in a different way. The way that goenors lower property taxes by raising service taxes...so when he said he paid all taxes owed and it was a lot--i was thinking a lot on sales taxes(both fed and state) when purchasing expensive items---but $0 on fed and state taxes,
those 2 cadillacs annes has, had significant sales taxes that had to be paid....
there are many,many, ways Romney can lie by omission--i bet he uses them all.
he probably "lived" in someones basement that had a home in a state with no sales tax the year he bought both of ann's cadilacs.
wanna bet on it, say $10,000?

Romney thinks because he SIGNED his tax return, that means he PAID the total amount due for that year. IF the amount DUE was $0.00 then he would be satisfied that he paid every cent of the $0.00.
To him this would be paying every thing that was due. Romney knows how to stretch the truth.
Perhaps he is getting the Social security tax confused with IRS tax. The ultimate tax dodge would be that he did not earn ONE PENNY in "income"... therefore he paid NOTHING into the SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM.
You want to know the problem with the future of social security? He has probably dodged paying on his first $110,000 for years! COunt on it.

I think the reason Romney has only released two tax year returns because those are the only two years in the last twelve where he has paid federal taxes. Obviously he knew he had to release some years in running for President; and it wouldn't look very good if he didn't pay any taxes, so he paid some taxes for those last two years. Prior to that, his highly talented accountants and financial advisers figured out how he could get out of paying any federal taxes. Anyway it can all be cleared up if he only follows his fathers advise and releases twelve years of returns. What's he hiding?
