In reply to the discussion: Speculation has it that Harry Reid's Source comes from within the Mormon Church... [View all]DemocracyInaction
(2,506 posts)48. Forget all this Mormon stuff
They get a shit load of money from Romney - 10% or not - and would not cut off their cash cow. He also made a lot of those boys rich out there with Olympic contracts (how much graft was that). And he would have done their bidding as Gov of Mass. The Mormons have great ambition to get into that White House. They have infiltrated many big, big businesses in this country and you can't rise up the ladder in them if you are not Mormon. Someone in Bain, I suspect, did not like him or didn't get promotions, etc. but was in a position to see and handle Mitt's finances.

What I don't get is that, if he is hiding money, it's not going to show up on the tax forms.
