Ultimately it doesn't matter if he lied, if he broke the law, or if it just looks ugly

Mitt Romney refuses to release more tax returns because he knows Americans will vote against him for President if he does. What does that say about Mitt Romney's faith in the American people, the very people he thinks he deserves to lead? If Romney lets American voters know what he was forced by law to let the IRS know, he thinks he will lose this election. Romney would rather the public NOT be informed by facts. He believes Americans do NOT have the right to know how he ran the fiscal enterprise that he claims merits our votes.

That says almost as much about Mitt Romney as his tax returns probably would.

He feels he is entitled to be president and the little people have no right to challenge him on this. And he especially cannot believe that a black man can contest what he iis entitled to.

His father had good anti-racist creds and usually one is influenced by their family upbringing in that regard.

Class issues however are a different matter. I believe Romney assumes that his record of "achievement" proves he should lead America, and that most Americans are lucky that a man of his caliber is willing to take on the job of President.
