Team Obama has a simple message for Romney about his taxes: Prove It!
TPM
The Obama campaign is not satisfied after Mitt Romney told Reporters Thursday he checked 10 years of tax returns and found he never paid less than 13% in taxes.
Romney "has forfeited the right to have us take him just at his word," Obama spokesperson Lis Smith said. Her full statement: http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/...
“Mitt Romney today said that he did indeed ‘go back and look’ at his tax returns and that he never paid less than 13% in taxes in any year over the past decade. Since there is substantial reason to doubt his claims, we have a simple message for him: prove it. Even though he’s invested millions in foreign tax havens, offshore shell corporations, and a Swiss bank account, he’s still asking the American people to trust him. However, given Mitt Romney's secrecy about his returns, coupled with the revelations in just the one return we have seen to date and the inconsistencies between this one return and his other financial disclosures, he has forfeited the right to have us take him just at his word.”
Hilarious. Does this a-hole realize he's only amplified the calls for him to release his taxes?
