Romney To Harry Reid: You’re Wrong About My Taxes [View all]

Romney To Harry Reid: You’re Wrong About My Taxes

Mitt Romney told reporters on Friday that Harry Reid is “simply wrong” about his taxes. “Harry, who are your sources?” Romney said. “I have paid taxes every year … and a lot of taxes.”

Reid claims that a Bain Capital investor told him that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years.”

Mitt, ABC is still waiting:

Despite telling ABC News over the weekend he’d be “happy” to hand over more information on his past tax returns, Mitt Romney has yet to follow up on their request.

<...>

But ABC says Romney officials have not gotten back to them on whether Romney ever paid a lower tax rate than 13.9% despite their repeated queries. Instead, they received a rehash of Romney’s already disclosed taxes and charitable donations from 2010, suggesting that Romney may have overpromised in his interview what his campaign was willing to reveal.

Romney Not Sure If He’s Ever Paid Tax Rate Lower Than 13.9 Percent

Mitt Romney said he doesn’t know if he’s ever paid a tax rate lower than 13.9 percent – the rate he paid in 2010 according to the one year of tax returns he has released thus far – the presumptive nominee told ABC’s David Muir in an interview Sunday, via ABC’s Emily Friedman.

...Mitt Romney has thus far refused to heed the call from a growing number of people within the Republican party to release more tax returns. And during an interview with ABC’s David Muir from Israel, the former Massachusetts governor revealed that the documents may show that he paid very little in taxes:
