But all you have is idle speculation about Romney cheating on taxes is unsubstantiated, unsourced rumours from a Senator who refuses to release his own records.
Facts? The IRS hasn't publicly charged Mitt Romney with any crimes. But you keep making things up, Dems are good at that, like Harry Reid.

Why would you equate lack of character with doing something illegal? Nowhere did I say, or imply, that he has done anything illegal. I found it very odd that he would instruct his accountants to change his deductions so that his tax rate conformed to something he said months ago.... I also find his supporting health reform, then claiming he will repeal Obamacare, then backing off to say some of it he would keep.....to show a lack of character. I could cite many examples of where Romney looks more like a sleaze than a man of character, yet you just assume I meant he was cheating on his taxes. Why not just read what is posted and respond to that instead of responding to what you think maybe I meant?
That's no proof at all... RMoney could have defused this months ago, but is choosing not to. Like it or not, in most people's minds he is "guilty until proven innocent." And that's a fact, Jack.
Hmmmmm, I wonder if it could be that in 2009 when the IRS went after the biggest bank in Switzerland (UBS), they gave all of the rich Americans who were hiding their wealth over there a one-time amnesty deal to report their hidden wealth, pay taxes & interest on it, without penalty, and if that showed up on the 2009 tax returns it could be "problematic"??? Gee, one way to find out....Release tax returns back to 2005 or so...
You Righties have reduced the threshold of legal wrongdoing down to "Did he do a perp-walk, and/or was he convicted?" That seems to be good enough for you--if the slime-in-question has an "R" after his name. You can continue to stick your head in the sand and presume that is sufficient for the rest of the voting public... Guess what--It's not. This guy has been running for president for about 10 years. For him not to think this would be a problem is to show how totally friggin' out-of-touch he is.
Hey, Mitt-the-Twit...Jus' keep doin' what yer doin'... You hang on to those tax-returns, sweetie... You keep telling yourself that if the IRS hasn't convicted you of anything, that it's "all right"...
