By the way, did he ever release that 2011 return as promised? I remember he released a one-page summary, but I don't recall that he ever released the actual return.

Not these days, anyway. And yes, he did release more of his tax returns, but only for that year, and reserving the right to re-file if he loses the election.

That's a rhetorical question. It is because the 0.1% take care of their own, obviously.

In this case, Romney knew this sweet deal was about to go away, so he set his shelter up and it got grandfathered.
