The fundraiser was closed to the news media but Romney’s comments, were heard by reporters waiting for him on a sidewalk outside. Romney thought he was speaking privately to a group of conservative donors. To make his proposals reality, Romney mist close the largest and most popular deductions in the tax code and make deep cuts in government social spending. As of Monday, he's not willing to talk about doing that. Not even in private.

Andrews and Schumer said Romney’s closed-door comments are an example of what they see as his lack of transparency. They said Romney and his staff removed their servers and hard drives when they left the Massachusetts governorship, that he has not revealed his campaign bundlers, explained his offshore bank accounts, or provided a complete tax history. They also said Romney refuses to be transparent about his personal finances or the policies he would pursue as president.

“The governor has been running around the country embracing the idea of a $5 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans,” Andrews said. “He’s embraced the Romney-Ryan budget that looks to ending the Medicare guarantee as a way to pay for part of that, but there’s also been as to else he would do in addition to this $5 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans and terminating the Medicare guarantee.”

“From his record as governor of Massachusetts to the details of his overseas investments, Mitt Romney has made a disturbing habit of hiding basic information from the voters,” Schumer said. “And now, he is trying to hide the truth behind his tax plan. It took some eavesdropping by reporters outside a fundraiser last night in Florida for us to learn, for the first time, some details about how Mitt Romney would seek to pay for the huge tax cuts he wants to give millionaires and billionaires. Apparently, Mitt Romney will only share the details of his plan if you donate $50,000 a head to his campaign.”
