@ Juju. Just because I don't agree that tax laws should give loopholes to millionaires doesn't mean I'm jealous. I don't think its fair. Envy is not my issue. Our tax laws do give "entitlements" to millionaires. Its perfectly legal. So why not release the info? Is it that he doesn't feel comfortable with what he's doing? Lots of middle class Americans are a little turned off at these entitlements for the rich. And its really not about jealousy.
@Linda Sterling No, maybe it's because he paid his fair share according to the tax laws. You know the politics of envy is so very unattractive, Linda. Take a clue here!
Romney refuses to release prior (2010) tax returns. Interesting. Why the secrecy? Could it be that he doesn't want us to see how he has used tax shelters to keep himself in a lower bracket to avoid paying taxes on money he earned in THIS country? Since its not illegal what's wrong with transparency. People on this station talk about taking away entitlements all the time. In some cases they have a point. Well what about Mr. Romney's entitlement??! What about that?
Tequila...gosh! You've come out from under the bridge, eh? Don't get comfortable there! When Romney rolls into the White House...you'll be off the entitlement rolls! Beware! You'll have to lay off the hooch and get a life! (Wink)
