| Pacquiao -- It's a long-held political tradition for presidential candidates to release their tax returns. This week, the drumbeat for Mitt Romney to release his returns has steadily grown louder. First, he said he wouldn't release them. Then he said he would -- after this year's tax season. And when asked at Thursday's debate if he'd follow precedent and release more than one year's worth, the best answer he could muster was an awkward "maybe." Maybe? He hasn't released his tax returns yet, but we do know some things already -- and they're pretty outrageous. Check out the five things everyone should know about Mitt's taxes, then add your name to call on him to actually release them. Every GOP presidential nominee for the past 40 years has released their tax returns. Even some of Mitt's biggest supporters, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, have called on him to level with voters on this issue. Why so shy, Mitt? Perhaps it's because he stores part of his money in the Cayman Islands, a "notorious Caribbean tax haven." Or because even with a net worth of as much as $250 million, he manages to pay a lower tax rate than most middle-class Americans. Maybe it's that when he says he's "unemployed, too," he forgets to tell you he's been making millions off his Bain investments at the same time. We think voters should know the whole story. So take a look at the top five things we know already, then sign on to make sure we find out the rest: http://my.democrats.org/Five-Things-to-Know Thanks, Brad Brad Woodhouse Communications Director Democratic National Committee |
