Like father like son: Both Huntsmans say Romney should release taxes
Former Utah governor and presidential candidate Jon Huntsman joined his father in criticizing Mitt Romney for not releasing more tax returns, taking a direct shot at the man he professes to support.
"Anyone running for president should be willing to at least meet the standards required of those who will be appointed and confirmed by the Senate for senior executive branch positions. Something Im familiar with having been confirmed three times," Huntsman said. "This is called leadership by example."
Huntsman had to disclose his own tax returns when he was confirmed by the Senate to be ambassador to Singapore, a deputy U.S. trade representative under President George W. Bush and most recently the U.S. ambassador to China under President Barack Obama.
The Romney campaign has released one partial year of the candidates 2010 tax returns and has said it will release the 2011 return when it is ready. But Romney has steadfastly refused to release any additional tax returns, breaking with a long-standing tradition among presidential candidates.
