Romney calls 63% of Americans "small minded"

"The fascination with taxes I've paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues we face."

Question 12
As you may know, Mitt Romney has released his tax returns from the past two years, but has refused

returns from additional years?

Actually pretty impressive to see 35% of Americans could care less about the man's tax returns. We know he is worth a lot. Does he have off-shore accounts? We know he does. What else do you need to know, nosy Dog?

I want to know about his off shore IRA account which by law he is only allowed to contribute $30,000 per year that is now worth over $100 million. I want to know whether he is investing in our country, the United States, or in tax haves such as the Cayman Islands and Panama. I want to know if he is advocating tax policies that will personally benefit him in a manner that takes advantage of the average citizen. I want to know whether or not he was working for Bain at time when he promised the American public he was not, or at a time when he stated under oath that he was not. I want to know if he sponsoring terrorists, there are many things that I want to know, but most of all I want to know if he has lied to the American public about his finances and his taxes.

These are things that as an individual campaigning to be the leader of this great nation should not only provide but be willing and proud to provide.

Something's there. If everything was on the up and up he wouldn't be so adamant about not releasing his returns.

Has the law been a maximum of $30K a year since it was adopted Dog? How about before the feds got around to limiting the annual contributions made to such financial instruments? Is the $30K figure what one is allowed to contribute tax free, or with pre-tax money or the maximum amount allowed to be contributed period? I ask all of these questions because of your propensity to provide only part of the information on a fairly consistent basis and I am not familiar with these financial instruments at all, nor would I have the beginnings of a clue as to where to begin researching the answers for myself.

If everything wasn't on the up and up the IRS would be asking a lot more questions of Romney than you are Raees.

I'm not saying illegal. I"m saying something there that he doesn't want American voters to see.

Something's there (Obama). If everything was on the up and up he wouldn't be so adamant about not releasing his college admission, passport, Draft, travel and passport records.

Sure you do. Go to google or the search engine of your choice. Type in key words such as IRA limitations. Select sources that you find credible, such as IRS.gov All of your questions should be answered in this manner, rather than try to subordinate others into doing your work for you. I prefer to teach you to fish rather than simply give you a fish.

63% must be liberals, that don't want to succeed further than what they can get from the government, or a meager salary.
