    Would it bother you?

    Really try to imagine that this was the case. How would you feel?

    Would it bother you at all?

    Answer this question as honestly as you can.

    I'll hang up and listen.

    you are implying that romney hasnt released his, which i believe is incorrect. he has released hundreds of pages of tax returns.

    abcnews says that he he released 2010 completely, and an estimate for 2011, and "A full 2011 tax return is expected later this year." i dunno why the fuck you care or which years you need.

    ths is not an effective way for you yuo imply that people who are not you are political hacks.

    I don't care, never have. I prefer they release them simply because I find it interesting to know how much they make

    I am going to call a spade a spade. You know you are lying if you say it would not bother you if Obama didn't release his taxes from the past few,not couple, of years. For heaven's sake, some people still don't think the man was born in this country.

    The only reason for a man running for the highest office not to release his tax returns is that he has something to hide.

    Is that true about every individual as well?

    It would not bother me. I don't understand how it could bother anyone. I know Kerry and Edwards had a lot of money. No idea if they released or not. Don't care except interested to know the kind of money a highly successful person makes

    Sure. Most people are sensitive about their income and assets. Publicly elected officials cannot afford to be.

    If you have a friend that will not discuss his income with you, do you assume he has something to hide?

    Some people I know tell me exactly what they make. Others do not. It's their prerogative. None of them have anything to hide. I treat politicians the same way.

    Actually I have a friend that told me his accountant is some kind of wizard with making up deductions and basically comotting tax fraud. He was conflicted about it but I certainly don't care, I don't hold my friends to any moral standard in that dept. same with politicians where moral standards are far less important that they are with my friends.

    This is just the democrat version of the birth certificate thing. A distraction.

    Just like with his birth certificate, or his college records, or any of his other personal crap... I could not give a single fuck.
