...so, here is my simple proposal. I do not really need all of Governor Romney's tax returns. We already see his "love for America" in his setting up bank accounts with tens of millions of U.S. dollars in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Luxembourg and god knows where else other than the United States. We already know that the entire middle class has been paying the taxes that Mitt escaped. If he paid a single dollar more in taxes than he could get away with, Governor Romney believes he would be disqualified from being president.

Here's what we need: just tell us whether Governor Romney received an amnesty from prosecution from the IRS in exchange for paying back taxes and a penalty on one or more of his overseas accounts.

If the answer is "no", then permit the IRS Commissioner, who would have been the person who granted the amnesty, to verify it.

You see, Mitt did not disclose his foreign bank holdings in his initial disclosure and retroactively amended it, so I cannot really trust him to be honest. Plus, I would be violating President Reagan's rule, "trust, but verify". We all know that violating a Reagan rule guarantees eternal damnation...
