   Only a Republican would be insane enough to make such a statement without expecting to be dragged to the guillotine. What’s next, Mitt? Let them eat cake?

   Then Romney’s taxes need to be raised. Why should the man who works every day pay more taxes than a rich man who does no work?

   @Radish

   Don’t you have sympathy for the unfortunately rich? Imagine the terrible decisions they have to make every day. Polo or golf? The Rolls or the Jaguar? Caviar or oysters? Champagne or Chablis? My heart goes out to all these poor people who can’t enjoy the simple reward of actually earning their keep…

   The top 10 percent of income earners paid 71 percent of all federal income taxes in 09……………What is their Fair Share?

   "What Mr. Romney was saying was – If I paid more then the minimum required would categorize me as stupid . . . "
   
   That’s all very reasonable. Why then, does Romney refuse to release his tax returns? If what you say is true, doesn’t it make sense that Romney would release his returns and show that he’s taking advantages of deductions like we all do?
   
   Yet – despite great pressure – even from his own party – he does not. What is so shameful in his returns that he cannot show them??

   “There is nothing UnAmerican about doing what you can to minimize your tax burden if you are operating within the laws.”
   
   Agreed. Then why won’t he release his tax returns?

    “. . . operating within the laws. I have every reason to believe that Mr. Romney did exactly that. If you have proof that he committed Tax Fraud then show it or SHUT UP.”
    
    NO ONE has any proof either way. He won’t release his tax returns. You have NO reason to believe that he operated within the laws OR outside the laws.
    
    Of course, he could end the entire discussion by releasing his returns.

    So the tax return thing is the “I’ll show you!” for the birth certificate thing. Do any of you see this becoming a endless cycle that doesn’t help? I do.

    What Romney has done more of is reboot. Massachusetts law requires you to be a resident for 7 years prior to running for governor. Mitt had filed residency in Utah through 2002. When that was pointed out, he “retroactively” re-filed for Massachusetts. Trust much?

    Another catastrophically clueless political gaffe from Romney, but come on … who would ever want to pay MORE taxes than they owe? The issue here is what taxes he DID owe and why he’s so desperately trying to keep them a secret.

    Why does investment income need to be treated differently than salary/hourly income? That’s the first lie.

    If these 1%ers were to pay their full. fair share, it would still be cheaper than trying to buy politicians and elections.

    “why he’s so desperately trying to keep them a secret.”
    
    I agree, that’s the whole point.
