... and neither of them is "How much did he pay in taxes?" I don't really care about that. I also think it's unlikely he did anything illegal -- the IRS should've caught it if he did. The 2009 amnesty? That would be interesting to find out, but that's not one of my two Qs either.
The two questions I have, that would be answered by his releasing several years of returns, are these:
1. Has Romney been telling us the truth about what's in there? Given that in the past he has been caught lying about his tax returns (2002, running for Mass. governor, as reported by Rachel Maddow, video below), I suspect there's a fair chance that the answer to this Q is "no". But I could be wrong; he could be sticking to the truth this time. But I want us to see for ourselves. ("Trust, but verify" -- one of the very few things Ronald Reagan ever said that I agree with.)
2. It's a non-specific "everybody knows it" kind of thing that our tax code is unfair, biased in favor of rich people. My question here is, just exactly how bad is the bias? (If it's there at all.) I want details. I want numbers. Romney's returns will show us some numbers.
