Mitt Romney finally released a second year of tax returns. And with it, some troubling new information:
-From his 2010 release: Romney has a Swiss bank account and owns a corporation in Bermuda
-This year's tax returns are 813 pages. More than 65% of them deal with his overseas investments.
-His overseas investments include huge investments in a Chinese oil company.
-Dozens of foreign accounts.
-Millions of dollars of Romney's money are stashed away in notorious tax havens.
-Stocks in the Russian oil giant Gazprom.
-And he's betting against the dollar by investing in the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar, the Swedish krona, and the Canadian dollar.
This is only the tip of the iceberg—Romney has only released two years of tax returns, both from after he started running for President.
He's still failing to match the precedent set by other Presidential candidates. Why won't Mitt Romney match other Presidential candidates, including his father? Why won't he come clean with the American people?
What else is he hiding?
My theory below the squiggle.
Mitt is not hiding tax information from regular voters, he is hiding his tax information from the GOP. No one would risk such political destruction with independent voters unless they were hiding something from the base of their Party.
Investments in companies such as stericycle would not harm him among ordinary voters, it would however destroy his base.
Mitt will have put money into companies that make money. Energy companies, including green energy companies. Medical and science companies, including companies related to life sciences, contraception and abortion.
GOP heads would be exploding on the way to the polls if that got out.
