45. Why Mitt Romney Is Scared to Release His Tax Returns

http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/763257/why_mitt_romney_is_scared_to_release_his_tax_returns/#paragraph4

1. Mitt Romney is worth $250 million.

2. He got rich by laying off American workers.

3. He pays a lower tax rate than you and the rest of the middle class.

4. He wants to be president so he can keep it this way.

If last night was any indication, it's a subject that makes Romney uncomfortable, but it's not going away.

OH, I THINK THERE'S MORE THAN THAT....THOSE ARE MERE BAGATELLES
