Romney and his taxes

[Michael Corleone]

I'm confused. Harry Reid has accussed Romney of not paying taxes for 10 years. However, I just watched an Obama add that said he paid 14% taxes in 2010. So which is it?

[spindoc]

Maybe Romney didn't pay Reid's taxes?

Believe me it's not beyond me to miss something but on this one I'm really confused. Was Reid referring to 10 years not including 2010?

 

I did email Harry and asked him.

You have a better shot of getting in touch with Andy Reid. Or Jerry Reed.

[Michael Corleone]

Furthermore, if a guy who makes millions of dollars each year hasn't paid taxes where is the IRS? I forgot to include a $1000 IRA distrubition when I changed jobs and they were on me like ugly on a UofL fan. So is Reid is correct maybe Obama's IRS is corrupt.

A dead Jerry Reed would give a better answer.

I am so sick of hearing this.........I am not a Romney Supporter in any way......However, ask some of the other accounting folks on BGP and they will tell you that many of the wealthy pay little to no INCOME taxes at times, specifically if they are earning a lot of their income through investments and Real Estate. However they may pay other taxes and fees, and we all pay sales tax.

I understand that but Reid said he hasn't paid taxes in 10 years. Yet, there is an add approved by our president that said he only paid 14% in 2010. So who is lying?

[Michael Corleone]

Maybe Harry meant from the time Romney was 2 until he was 12.

Hope you are all seriously considering real issues when it comes to this election year. As to the question who is lying? Obama add is correct on the 14 % for 2010. That is a matter of record and is not disputed by Romney. Reid references the 10 years of tax returns that Romney has steadfastly refused to make public. Seeing as we have not seen them there is no way for us to know if Reid is truthful or not.

Everybody knows Romney makes millions. Just release the records let everybody be jealous and we all move on. ...unless.

Yes, Romney should release his tax records as soon as Obama releases is college records.

Ole Mitt probably has his taxes offshor:ohbrother:

Isn't Reid also hiding his tax records? I thought I read that a few weeks back but I can't find the link.

The United States (unlike most countries) goes after offshore earnings. So this is a very poor statement.
