To release or not release...that's the question...

I say release...

    Honestly I say, who cares?

    I believe the tax return release is one of the stupidest things about an election. And it take the eyes/minds off of the actual issues.

    that is the truth though...people constantly think it is a hiding something issue...I think he should release everyone he has on record...there is no reason not to...

    Hell, they might as well make them release all their wedding photos and movie ticket stubs while they are at it.

    Is it common for politicians to release their tax returns? On the one hand I can see how it might keep them honest, on the other it seems like an invasion of privacy. This one puzzles me.

    Yes, very common. People complain about it almost every election. I still have never been told a purpose that I thought made any sense.

    no one is forcing them to, I just think they should...disarms the conspiracy before it starts...Thats the only reason I think they should do it...But they should not be forced to...

    I would love to see Mitts wedding photos...I bet that was one hell of a party... :lol:

    it is a public office they are running for, so yeah, release them. show the skeptics that you are legal and on the up and up. his dad released over 20 years worth, so why can't he do at least 5 or so?

    there are rumors that he did not pay any taxes in at least one year, so of course he is not going to release that information.

    i saw an article yesterday where people close to the campaign said "if he knew the tax return issue was going to be such a big deal he would never have run".

    my thought is that he will have more political damage if he releases them than if he doesn't, and that is a risk he seems all too willing to take.

    Interesting. But I still did not see it say anyone close to his campaign are saying any of that. In fact I read this...

    "Rumors on what unknown people who Mitt Romney may not have ever met muse about what someone else, also unknown, told them should not justify a story."
