Harry
Reid said in a recent Huffington Post interview that he knows why Romney
want release his taxes. A Bain investor told Reid that Romney didn't pay ANY
taxes for 10 years. Of course that would
be easy for Romney to refute--just release his tax returns. Romney says he
can't recall if there were years when he paid less than 13.9% in taxes but he
would "go back and look." His campaign says that he WILL NOT be
looking.
Is it possible this has tax return controversy has more to do with a character trait/flaw than the
issue of the returns? Is it possible
that Romney can't admit that he made a wrong decision--like deciding not to
release his returns? That would be a more serious issue than not releasing
returns. We can't afford a president who can't admit and learn from a mistake.

Romney has a lot to explain solely in regards to the tax returns he has released. For example, I have a hard time understanding why his wife's horse is a business expense. I have a pet dog, but I cannot deduct for dog food or vet visits. If this is an example of the stuff his returns are made of I think he needs to start explaining.
I'm confident that Romney obeyed the tax laws. So I have to ask, what is he so afraid of.
I think he is afraid of the bullies in the right wing of his party. I think his tax returns will show that at some point in his life, perhaps when he claimed to be Pro-Choice, he may have donated generously to Planned Parenthood, or NARAL, of maybe an environmental group.
I don't think Romney is afraid of any legal issues with his taxes. I think he knows that if the truth came out about his tax deductible donations that his party will drop him like a hot potato.
