Harry Reid continues pushing allegations Mitt Romney paid no taxes for 10 years

Full story: www.nydailynews.com

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is still insisting it's up to candidate Mitt Romney to prove that he didn't go 10 years without paying taxes

Romney retorts that he's paid everything required by law.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is not backing down from his second-hand allegations that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for 10 years, but he still won't name his sources for the unproven claim.

Reid said earlier this week that an investor in Romney's former private equity firm told him the Republican presidential candidate paid no taxes for a decade.

it's all about perception.
putting the idea that it's possible, unlikely, but still possible, can make all the difference.

Almost 20% of the US population still believes that Obama is Muslim, which is not only irrelevant, but not true.
If 20% of the US population has a doubt about Romney, it could make the difference for him in November.

I remember when Nelson rockefeller ran for VP with Gerry Ford.

It came out that Rocky actually paid less in federal income tax than his secretary.

I think it very likely that Romney paid no taxes for years.
Tax laws for the very rich are much more liberal than they were in the 1970's

This is a safe assumption, and Romney did not deny it; he only said that he did not violate the law.

Sounds more & more likely, And Dr. Paul is whipping up his troops for a fight.

And Tiny Tim Geithner paid no taxes and was given the Treasury Secretary job. That's when he finally paid his taxes.

But Harry, I guess since Tiny Tim is appointed by Democrat it's ok then.

I heard from a reliable source that Harry is gay.

Tim Geithner paid no taxes until he was appointed to job he is not qualified for and approved by congress.

Charlie da war hero rangle owes taxes and has never had to explain why he a congressman stealing $175,000 a year from tax payers has several rent control buildings in harlem, never paid taxes on the estate in the islands.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR PRESENT TAX LAWS, REMEMBER CONGRESS HAS BEEN SCREWING UP OUR TAX SYSTEM FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS REDUCING TAXES FOR THE RICH WHICH INCLUDES MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SO YOU KNOW THEY WILL NEVER TAX THEM SELVES OR WILL LEAVE LARGE LOOP HOLES IN THE LAW SO THEY DON'T PAY TAXES.

ROMNEY, KENNEDY REID JUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SCREWED UP TAX SYSTEM.

BLAME ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS FOR THIS MESS, VOTE OUT ANY CONGRESSMAN WHO HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON MORE THAN 2 TEARMS

30 years, that would mean it started with the Reagan Revoluton...

Look at Romney's tax plan (Ryan's too) to see what deductions/credits they will eliminate to pay their proposed rate reductions to make the reduction 'revenue neutral'(revenue neutral means taxes will not be reduced though different people/classes may pay more or less). Arithmetically the rate times the base equals taxes. Taxes can be kept at the same level by changeing either or both, depending on the change.

hint: Neither Romney's nor Ryan's plan lists any deductions and/or credits that will be reduced. Want to take bets on the group that will come out ahead?

The IRS probably ALREADY checked into it.

HAD Romney OWED them ANY money, I'm certain we would already know it!

Mr Romney legally avoided paying any taxes on his huge income, probably with massive deductions; much like rockefeller in my example, above.

The point is, Romney is shifting his entire tax burden onto the middle class. This is de facto class war on the American middle class.

Romney has given MILLIONS of dollars to charities.

Charities that HELP the poor and the needy (probably providing better help than the government does).

ANYONE can own the IRS NOTHING, if they give enough personal money to CHARITY.

Few have the means or the guts to give away THAT much money.
