Erin Burnett To Romney: Release Your Tax Returns Unless You're 'Stupid' (VIDEO)

CNN's Erin Burnett called on Monday for Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns.

Speaking on her show "Outfront," the host said that the only reasons not to do so were evasiveness or stupidity.

Romney has released his 2010 tax return, but has steadfastly refused to release any more of them. This has led to calls even from conservative corners for him to more fully disclose his tax dealings. Columnist George Will, for instance, said on Sunday that it was high time for him to do so.

"If something's going to come out, get it out in a hurry," referencing the idea that Romney sees political peril in the contents of his returns.

The talking point Burnett suggested about adding the % he gave to "charity" ( ie., LDS Church) to the % he paid in taxes?
