Did Romney pay NO income taxes for 10 years?

From a report on Huffington Post, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) alleges that an investor with Mitt Romney’s venture capital firm Bain told him that Romney paid NO income taxes for 10 years.

"Harry, he didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years,” the investor told Reid.“He didn’t pay taxes for 10 years!... Obviously he can’t release those tax returns. How would it look?”

Reid is hardly an unbiased source, but Romney just needs to come clean. He may not have a legal obligation to release more than the one year's tax return he has already released, but if he wants us to vote for him as a business man who knows how to fix the economy, then he should release his tax returns like every other candidate always does.

Ok, then ask Obama to release his college transcripts along with a copy of his thesis.

College is not a prerequisite to the Presidency.
How would that apply?
Felonious tax evasion could exclude one though.

20% of your co-workers are incomptent yet you make a statement like that! If it was tax evasion Holder and Odummy would be all over it!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in an interview with The Huffington Post, saying a former Bain investor told him that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years, hence the lack of disclosure:
Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.
"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.
"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?
Asked for a response to Reid's latest comments, Romney campaign adviser Kevin Madden said his candidate had "gone above and beyond the disclosure requirements by releasing two years of personal tax returns in addition to the hundreds of pages of personal financial disclosure documents he has provided to the FEC and made public."
I guess some will say that is a reckless public statement by Reid. Of course, there's a very easy way for Romney to set the record straight->->->
-> RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS !

I posted a few weeks ago that Romney would be spending the next 4 years in defense of tax evasion. But even it Romney paying no taxes was legal, how will the American public feel about that?

There has to something that Romney wants to hide or he would release many years to prove that he is a honest business man.He wants to us to think he can fix the economy,gives no details any refuses to release his tax returns.Something is not right.Maybe that has something to do with the years he was at Bain or was he retired?

Anonymous accusation related to a political enemy of Romney, desperate little sheep can't stand on obamas miserable record so you throw out smokescreens:
The number of unemployed persons (12.7 million) was essentially unchanged
in June, and the unemployment rate held at 8.2 percent.

National Debt nears $16,000,000,000,000 and growing by $100,000 per second. That is $50,000+ per U.S. Citizen and $140,000 per taxpayer.

Obama says his office will have a $1,400,000,000 deficit for 2012.

Maybe he thinks that it is none of your business--I agree with that! How about Odummy and his returns from the years he was a world traveler or the years in Chicago when he became a millionaire yet had no job that would make him rich. Your questioning of Mitts honesty while being a big time supporter of Odummy really says something about your character Mr. Pirate considering Odummy is the biggest liar to ever sit in the White House!

Is that all you can come up with TNBLOWFLY? I mean you've posted the same thing 10 times with nothing new to add. We get the message, you hate Obama and can't see anything good he's done. Your problem, not ours!

The rest of the world don't agree with it being personal information. Everything in Romney's life is the public's business once he ran for president.

I'm sure the republicans, the tea party and the idiotic birthers would have found anything that was amiss in Obama's tax returns because he has made them public and the vultures would have scoured through it all.

Mitt's going down, in the election and probably to tax evasion too!

"A former Bain investor", "A person", "The person"!! Thats some novel you are writing, or should I say it is fiction because there is no confirmation of anybody saying anything except your babbling! If Romney is smart enough to not have to pay taxes for 10 years I support him because I, and I suspect you, try to make that happen on a yearly basis !

Only a damn republican would be proud of trying to hurt the USA and avoid helping build a better country by avoiding paying any income tax!

I damn sure am not one of those!

Can't find a reason to support Romney so you put down Obama.Makes sense to me.You may want to vote for a person that refuses to release their tax returns but not I.

Of course he paid no taxes. That's why he refuses to release any info. Between his offshore accounts and his dummy corporations romney has paid less than us average working slobs. But I'm sure he has a bevy of lawyers drawing up all sorts of papers to confuse the issue. Even some fellow repubs are calling on him to come clean.

Funny how the anti-obama crowd keeps yelling for Obama to release his birth certificate even now AFTER he has already done so but they're strangely silent when it comes to demanding paperwork from Romney.

HA.....I just love this Romney smackdown! Beginning to restore my faith in this state! Mitt the Twit isnt going to release anything. Of course, Mitt the Twit will lose if he doesnt.....and he will lose if he does!

Only an blooming idiot would support barack hussein obama.
You have no proof Romney avoided anything. I guess you would love to take away Americans right to deposit their money in whatever financial institution they wished?

You have no proof, but we do have proof that after almost 4 years of obama that The number of unemployed persons (12.7 million) was essentially unchanged
in June, and the unemployment rate held at 8.2 percent.

National Debt nears $16,000,000,000,000 and growing by $100,000 per second. That is $50,000+ per U.S. Citizen and $140,000 per taxpayer.

It is obamas economy, obamas mess and he cant fix it.

Good idea.

Also a good idea. We should know as much as possible about both candidates. But Mitt is clearly hiding something he thinks will embarrass him and I want to know what it is.

Bob, I think you want that to be the reason he doesn't release more.

That is about the dumbest thing I have seen posted on this forum! Tell me that you don't take the deductions, mortgage interest etc allowed by the tax codes and you want the government to have that money to "build a better country" Do you get any tax breaks on your farm or other out buildings, equipment etc.?

"I damn sure am not one of those"! For sure you are a lying SOS!
