WASHINGTON (CBS WASHINGTON) A hypothesis test on Daily Kos explores the suspicion that Mitt Romney is one of 5,000 wealthy Americans who were given amnesty for tax evasion.
Christopher Tuckers article titled, Dark Secret in Romneys Missing Tax Files: Amnesty from prison for Top-1% Tax Cheats? tests the accusation in a scientific method that he hopes other journalists use to avoid the media causing more, unacceptable decay of our democratic institutions.
The article highlights Romneys hostility towards requests for transparency about his past tax records. As of Sept. 21, he had only released his tax records for 2010-11, which many critics have used to support suspicions that he has exploited a myriad of tax loopholes, and off-shore tax havens
Tucker offers the following falsifiable prediction:
Mitt Romney is hiding the fact that the he was one of the 5000 wealthy American tax-dodgers that Swiss bank UBS turned over to US authorities, as part of a USDOJ-brokered 2009 deal, which both fined UBS for hiding rich Americans money in a massive tax-evasion scheme, and offered the 5000 rich Americans amnesty (from criminal prosecution, trials & prison time), if they paid back the tax revenues they stole from US Treasury during the previous years.
