Why is Romney not disclosing his returns?

[Free Thinker]

you guys are funny. anything to deflect the fact that he has to be uncomfortable about what is in there.

Of course he's uncomfortable, all the way to his Cayman Islands bank. That's why he's the best man for the job... He can actually make money for those who hire him and that's the guy we need right now.

+10 I like it, that right there could turn the tide.

Yeah, just like when Newt did it, it is easy to see how there is a ton of upside and almost no downside, and the timing is everything.

Pros:
-Oppo dump right in the middle of debate analysis overload for most voters. If there is something they dislike it won't receive nearly as much press or attention.
-No time for Obama team to address the contents before Romney defines it himself on a national stage. This one is huge, because any response can be made to look like playground amateur hour.
-Great rebuttal against an almost certain attack from Obama regarding lack of transparency.
-Opportunity to show that businessman, "do build that", firing up the base with buzz words.
-Obama will debate well, possibly even better than Romney, so if Romney loses the debate he could use a distraction.


Cons:
-If Romney wins the debate, it might distract taxist indies who come away thinking, "hey this Romney looks pretty good". I think he will lose or tie the debate so I don't consider this a problem.
-Provides more ammo for oppo spin. Gonna have to release at least 5 years eventually anyway tho.

I fully acknowledged that. You are acting like I am in Romney's corner. No so my friend. I just know what I would do if I were him. The point was that he should release them at the prime moment. The minute the first debate starts is the best moment. Most upside with least downside.

Oh man, we could make a killing on just flipping a few countries. LOL

I joke about it, but there is some historical precedent. Think Japan and Germany.

Stupid ass Obama and stupid ass Romney are worried about Romney's taxes.


THEY SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT

EVERYBODY ELSE'S TAXES.


We just gotta get a viable third party started in our train wreck of a country.

is it that hard for you to understand that if all the rich guys like romney devise ways to escape their tax obligation EVERYBODY ELSE has to make up the difference?

I think when asked Romney should have this response every time.
