Why Romney Won't Release His Tax Returns REVEALED
by Little Lulu


...With the Dow Jones doubled since 2008, the reason is simple.

Romney won't release his tax returns because THEY'LL SHOW HE'S BETTER OFF TODAY THAN HE WAS FOUR YEARS AGO!

L.O.L.!!!!!!!

That is all anybody has to say about it!

Who were supposedly holding his tax returns hostage? Haven't heard anything else about it.

When I heard about the Romeny tax blackmail "hoax", the first thing I wondered was if it was a classic Karl Rove operation. Stay tuned.....

or at the very least, copycat Rove stink. I can't believe anyone except perhaps Wolf Blitzer would fall for this.

prove it. He doesn't pay taxes here, but he does elsewhere, because he's deeply invested in FOREIGN countries.

If he were President, he wouldn't be working for the USA.

He has been linked with a company (thru Bain) called Stericycle. The company disposed of medical wastes such as aborted fetuses. I haven't seen much on the news about it but it is on the net.

When will that ten-foot pole get pulled out of the elephant in the room? Or vice-versa?

and will show an ad the last week of the election. Like many things the Obama campaign has done, they seem to have an inductive approach in mind: First establish that he was running Bain capital and actively involved as his 2010 tax returns indicate, in spite of the nonsense about his having "retired retroactively". Having established that, show what happened while he was actively involved. This guy wants it all ways and thinks money will get it for him, and also that people are stupid and will never put together the contradictory positions on virtually every issue. The thing about being so wealthy, you have this illusion of control. I hope Obama buries him before the debates so that the dark money and billionaires realize Mitt is a really bad investment and move on.
