WHY won't Mitt Romney disclose his tax returns? Where are they?

We should call everywhere repeating this.

1. especially today - it is the last day of the extension.

And a tax summary is simply unacceptable.

2. It's pretty obvious that there's something in there that he doesn't want us to see.

9. This Puzzles me?

Why want President Obama bring it up in the Debate? I would think this very question would put Romney on the defensive with the Economy and Foreign Policy. When Romney criticizes President Obama for China or Iran, why not cleverly interject Romney's taxes to his secret accounts and Foreign investments? Even Romney's Foreign investment in Russia. I understand Romney tried to get rid of some of those investments to run for president. He can even use President Clinton's line. " This guy has a lotta Brass concerning Foreign Policy."

I also think bringing up Libya should pose a mine field for Romney. If, the President is Commander-in-chief, why would he be expected to micromanage the security decisions of officers in the field? Representative Issa should know that from his military experience. This shows the inexperience of Romney and Ryan. Ambassador Stephens has wide lattitude as the Top Ambassador in Libya. Security was his call as it would be with any American citizen in Libya. If, he did not request it, then he took that risk. He had the same authority as any top General. As far this notion of apology, the embassy in Egypt also had that lattitude because they are the actual people on the ground. Decisions are not made from Washington when it comes to defusing a crowd or concerning security. So defusing a hostile crowd, would be a tactic or technique personnel are trained for. The bottomline, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan don't know what they are talking about, because neither one ever served in the military. As far as Mr Issa, he has a record of going on witch hunts. The bogus investigation against the Attorney General is a good example. It has been the characteristic of the Republican congress, even putting our service people in jeopardy. If the President used that line of attack, Romney would be on the defensive.

16. why should President Obama have to bring it up? Why hasn't Mitt DISCLOSED THEM, as Obama has? nt

[struggle4progress]

10. Dunno. Maybe he didn't pay any taxes.

[treestar]

11. And why does the media not mention this?

[HereSince1628]

12. Because he doesn't have to release them.

And it pleases his teahadists supporters anytime anyone sticks it to the USA.

13. Did he accept amnesty in 2009? n/t

[LaydeeBug]

15. ^^^this^^^ nt

17. If they show he took IRS amnesty in 2009, Obama wins.

That's why, I think.
