Wouldn't it be nice if Romney showed us what he paid in taxes for the last 10 years before telling us how much his tax plan would have us pay in taxes for the next 10 years?
The other day Romney said,
If I paid more in taxes than I was suppose to, that would make me unqualified to be President.
But,
Romney did not pay the amount in taxes he "was supposed to." Mitt was supposed to pay 35% but instead he chose to pay 13%. And Romney 'chose' to stash his money offshore avoiding paying U.S. Taxes thus not helping America pay for the Debt on Two Wars and avoiding helping to fund our Military.
Romney's Tax Plan helps no one but the super-duper rich. It does not even help the marginally rich. Romney's Tax Plan is a Gusher-Up for the multi-billionaries.
Reuters reported on the Tax Policy Center's study that showed Romney's Tax Plan has those making over $1 million benefiting most:

Because the value of the 20% Tax Cut for richer Americans would exceed the gains they get from popular tax breaks that Romney would chop, they would see the greatest income gain from Romney's Tax Plan possible changes, the study said.
The Bush/Cheney Tax Plan
tanked income for the middle class and working people in general -- Romney's plan, as President Clinton said, "is Bush/Cheney Tax Plan on Steroids."
Romney's Tax Plan victimizes the American people and The Hill Reports: Romney's Tax Plan could cost 800,000 American families their jobs.
THE HILL Reports:
The analysis shows that Romney's plan would permanently exempt corporate profits made overseas from U.S. taxes and encourage businesses to keep their money stashed in offshore tax havens, leading to a shedding of U.S.-based jobs
See that,
Romney's Tax Plan encourages, literally encourages, billionaires to outsource and stash their money off shore. So, who will pay for Romney's increase in Military Spending?
Romney is the type of person who will sacrifice anyone who stands in his way of him making a dime…

The report by the centrist Tax Policy Center found that Romney's tax cuts would boost after-tax income by an average of 4.1% for those earning more than $1 million a year, while reducing after tax-income by an average of 1.2% of people earning less than $200,000.
Romney's Tax Plan shares his knowledge of Tax Evasion with his really rich friends and throws a small bone to the rest of us.
If Romney and his pal Paul Ryan have their way they can end Medicare and Medicaid, raise the retirement age on Social Security to 70, increase the Deficit by teaching and encouraging billionaires to stash their money off shore and by raising Military spending.
Romney's Tax Plan is an outline on doing whatever he can to soak the majority of the American people to shield the super rich from taxes. Quite simple actually and, very Romney.
Romney has not given details on his Tax Plan, but from what he has released on the Romney Tax Plan, it is clear that, if elected, as President, Romney will make damn sure he gets his and then some.
I guess this is why he is running for President he hasn't given any other reason.
UPDATE: 11:00 am EST
Talking Points Memo held a conference call with Romney's Campaign who say Romney cannot give details on his Tax Plan because Romney does not know the details yet.
ROMNEY FOLKS:
“The governor’s plan essentially lays out the parameters that he wants to achieve ... it would be up to Congress to help fill in the blanks."
“So, it’s not a question of ‘today we have a 2000 page tax plan that could be scored.’”
.... hmmmm ....
