Honestly, I was expecting a sanitized version to be released, this is incredible. There is simply no working person in America that can fathom this type of income and paying so little in taxes to boot. Who knows, maybe this is the sanitized version.

I think this opens up a can of worms for the Mitt and I expect the Republicans to start demanding more tax returns from the past, it's obvious they began closing embarrassing accounts in recent years because of his campaigning. No doubt his returns from 5-10 years ago would be more embarrassing than these.
