Santorum's flip-flop against capitalism (Steve Marcus/Reuters)
This could change everything!
Add Rick Santorum to the list of Republicans calling for Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.
"I don't know why he hasn't released his tax returns. I think he should," Santorum said in an interview Monday on the Laura Ingraham radio show. The former Pennsylvania senator added that it was important especially for "someone with [an] enormity of wealth," like Romney.
Obviously, Rick Santorum hasn't gotten the memo that Republicans don't criticize Mitt Romney capitalism. Now that he has, it's sure to turn the Republican primary upside down. Sure, skeptics will point out that if Mitt Romney's opponents couldn't nail him for inventing Obamacare they can't nail him for anything, but there's nothing Republicans love more than beating up on a massively wealthy guy who doesn't pay enough in taxes and keeps his money in offshore bank accounts. Right?
