        Government officials are not obligated to prove their legitimate candidacy just because there is a public (opposition?) backlash. He's following Obama 101.

              Because no matter what, the left and the media will find something to criticize and create hysteria over, even if there is nothing there to make hysteria over. The left/media will make something up anyway.

                because, imagine if the situation were reversed

                imagine if obama had made millions of dollars and had numerous offshore accounts

                would the Repubs DEMAND that he release all of his taxes?? of course not, they would say whatever he did with his taxes is his own business

                so then why should mitt release them just because dems are demanding them? common sense

                    exactly

                    they ignored the facts that obama was not born in the US, that obama is a Muslim, that obama is a known marxist-socialist, and that obama is a terrorist sympathizer with clear ties to those whom hate America

                    and now you want to give them mitt's taxes??

                    come on we are not dumb

                      He relased everything he was legally required to do. Hes not gonna cave and release more just because a bunch of biased liberals who arent gonna vote for him anyway want him to.

                                  if obama had all these accounts instead of Mitt, do you REALLY think the Republicans would be asking about them or bringing it up at all?

                                        yes if republicans thought obama was dodging taxes they would not even bring it up because they dont have to because they win on the issues

                                          I think it's pretty safe to assume that he's not releasing them because they contain damning information. One person that knows is John McCain. He quickly dismissed the idea if Mitt as VP when he got a look.

                                            Mitt has a set of different rules for himself even though the precedent has been to release 10 to 12

                                            years of taxes. A tradition that his father started when he ran for president.

                                            He's an elitist & thinks he's entitled to the presidency.

                                            Even a cabinet nominee or VP candidate is required to release 10 years.

                                                #1 - He paid next to no income taxes (note his current language "I've paid plenty of taxes").

                                                10% Tithe to the church.

                                                If his taxes show he gave less than 10% - a whole new dialogue opens (considering his past standing within the church)

                                                  Democrats are sly at hiding corruption while Republicans are not shy of showing corruption...........

                                                  The Democratic advantage is obvious,3 digit IQ compared to a 2 digit Republican IQ.........

                                                    If you are hiding your PUBLIC tax records what else what are you willing to hide as president of the United States? Simple common sense. No one cares how much Mitt Makes, but what he is hiding is the thing that makes this the issue. He doesn't have no where near the wealth of Ross Perot and it wasn't an issue for him, but to hide your income tax returns tells a whole lot more than NOT showing. Transparency.

                                                        Romney is playing this the right way. If Reid is so correct about Romney, reveal the source. If the source is legitimate, Romney is backed in a corner, and probably has no choice. If Reid doesn't reveal a source, Romney could have a hell of a slander suit against him.

                                                          How some rich Democrats made there fortunes.

                                                          1. The Kennedys: Joseph Kennedy made so much money on insider trading and prohibition that his great grand kids are still living large.

                                                          2. John Kerry: Divorced his first wife and married a billionaire who inherited her money from her husband.

                                                          3. Obama: Made millions off of auto-biographies that were sold as non-fiction, but has admitted many accounts were fabricated. So basically he made money off of lying to his readers.

                                                          4. Harry Reid: Made millions off of crooked land deals.

                                                          5. Diane Feinstein.: Also made millions of her husbands crooked real estate deals.

                                                          6. Nancy Pelosi: Yep you guessed it...shady land deals.

                                                          When Nancy Pelosi was pressed about sharing her tax returns, she shut her mouth so fast that her botoxed forehead was still shaking weeks later.

                                                          Guys....Releasing tax returns is not even required to run for office. A simple financial disclosure is all that is needed.

                                                          Same thing happened to Reagan, he presented 1 year of tax returns and was hounded for more. Reagan basically said screw you and went on about his business of saving this country.

                                                              So it is a win/win for the D's, very smart political move. If he does release it those returns will obviously contain info Mitt doesn't want shared. If he doesn't he looks guilty. Very sharp move by the D's.

                                                                Its going to tick the people on the fence off even more that political games are being played, instead of solutions being brought out. Like Carseller said, Reagan pretty much told them to go to hell, and it was a non-issue. The same will hold true here.
