Related: About this forumDoes Rmoney's Tax "Summary" Smell Like Nixon's "Redacted" Watergate Tape Transcripts?
It does to me.
Remember when Nixon went on the TV Machine seated next to a couple of stacks of redacted transcripts of the Watergate tapes? That was presented as a "here's all you people need to know about those tapes" gambit.
Well, it didn't work. (
I don't think the "summary" route is going to work for Rmoney, either.

and will probably be much worse for Romney than he anticipates.

By giving a summary of past taxes he has shown that people asking for his returns is getting under his THIN skin
