Breaking news: Mitt to release last year's tax return

I don't care about your "analysis" of my logic/reasoning. What I said was you misrepresented what was actually said...(Imagine my surprise). (And I DID notice that you went back and changed what you wrote...) And I restated for the second time:

Since we can't see RMoney's tax-returns to prove it, it's conjecture on your part. Harry Reid owes RMoney NOTHING... When he shows his tax-returns, THEN he might have an apology coming. Until he does, ............ :Snooze

There...I restated it for the third time.

Even if Romney released his tax returns prior to 2010 you could still make your same nonsensical arguement you make now.

You could still say how do we know he ever filed that return? Or how do we know he never amended it?

His preparer certified that Romney never paid less than 13% over 20 years and averaged over 20%. There is no way I can think of that you can amend a return where you owe millions and reduce it to owing nothing. Seriously, you don't think the IRS will ask what's going on? And if Reid is to be believed, Romney accomplished this miraculous feat not only once, but 10 times. This is pure Twilight Zone looney bin theory you are spouting. And even with the returns, you can say the same thing because you'll never be satisfied so what's the point?

Kinda like Obama's birth certificate and college transcripts....check mate.

Because if he DID have to take the amnesty and pay the 20% penalty, there is a specific form that gets reported on, and there's no way to hide it. He can play with the numbers on tax-rate, charitable deductions, but he would NOT be able to hide that.

And by the way, where ARE those tax-returns?

It feels good?

What part of "I don't care about the raw number" do you not get? He paid a measly 14.1% (manipulated up from 9% so it wouldn't look too awkward), on about $20million...$20million that he DID NOT pay the full freight on, (as he claims) because it was money declared as "deferred carried interest", (which, if he really HAD resigned from Bain, should have been taxed at 35%...not 15%.) Plus, we have the lies on the record for multiple years where he told the SEC one thing, and the tax-guys another to rake in deductions he was not entitled to. That's still felony fraud, as far as I'm concerned.

If he DID have to take the amnesty and pay the 20% penalty, there is a specific form that gets reported on, and there's no way to hide it. He can play with the numbers on tax-rate, charitable deductions, but he would NOT be able to hide that.

Check mate? I never claimed Obama's birth certificate was fake nor have I called for his transcripts. I also see no way you can amend a return from where you owe millions down to owing zero, especially ten times. It's as nuts as questioning his birth certificate.

Breaking news!! Obama to release his student loan records, which reveal why he was rooming in the college dorm with two other Middle East nationals.

I wasn't referring to the amnesty. I was referring to your claims that he might not of filed his return or that he could of later amended it. Even if he released his returns, you could still claim those two highly unlikely possibilities with the chance of amending a return to zero owed being near zero.
