Mitt Romney to CNN: I’ve Released All The Tax Returns Voters Need

Despite pressure from the Obama campagn and even some fellow Republicans to release more of his tax returns, Mitt Romney suggested he’s unlikely to make any more years available beyond his 2010 and still-unreleased 2011 returns.

“That’s all thats necessary for people to understand something about my finances,” Romney told CNN Friday. He added that “I know that there will always be calls for more” even if he went further in his disclosure.

Critics allege Romney needs to release more returns to prove whether or not he received tax benefits from assets in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, both widely described as tax havens.

4. Surely someone will be leaking some of them

eventually.

5. Does he seriously believe that anyone would trust ANY candidate with one year's returns?

I'm pretty shocked at the arrogance. But you know, I think what is happening is that Rmoney is running his campaign as a CEO, and he is calling the shots.. probably with his wife advising. He thinks he knows better... does he not get the information age? Or the distrust of politicians? Or does he think that the Koch Brothers money and the voter fraud and intimidation will cover his ass?

17. I think it's exactly that.

Or does he think that the Koch Brothers money and the voter fraud ( election fraud) and intimidation will cover his ass?

7. You're right, Willard. That is all that is necessary to know what type of "person" you are.

Fuck you, Willard. Ship your sorry ass off to the Cayman Islands and leave us the fuck alone.

Perhaps a law requiring anyone running for office to reveal at least 10 years of returns???

[Swede]

9. This is a gift to the re-election of President Obama.

A gift that will just keep on giving.

11. oh no he di'n't!

[jillan]

12. What I think might happen is that there will be so much pressure on him to release more that

the GOP will start demanding that he does.

He cannot control the message while this is going on.
