Why is the media giving Mitt Romney a pass on his past tax returns?
We know that Mitt and Ann paid less than 14% of their income in taxes for 2010. So why are journalists giving Mitt a pass by not demanding the returns from the same years that President Obama has already disclosed.
I don’t tend to be one of those people that assume Mitt is hiding something, but IS HE HIDING SOMETHING? Mitt and Ann have money stashed in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland which seems unpatriotic to me. Anyone else? He has not even filed his income taxes for 2011. What kind person, who wants to be President of the United States, files for an income tax extension. It’s not like he doesn’t have accountants and lawyers or that he can’t afford to pay his taxes. Where are the questions from the press?
President Obama has disclosed his returns all the way back to 2000. Not to mention publishing his long form birth certificate due to the media giving legs to the birther story. Mitt and Ann Romney are not being held to the same standard as the Obama’s in the press. This is not a newsflash but it is extremely frustrating.
The media should be relentlessly asking every day, “Where are your tax returns Mitt”, “When will you release your tax returns for 2000 through 2009 Mitt”, “Without full disclosure of your tax returns, why should the American people elect you president Mitt”.
Oh, but that will never happen as long as Mitt Romney only talks to “journalists” at Fox News! Even the “legitimate” press will only pose softball questions and never follow up on his non-answers.
I WANT TO SEE HIS TAX RETURNS! I WANT TO EVALUATE THIS CANDIDATE BASED ON FACTS, NOT WHAT IS COMING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS FACE!
WHEN WILL THE MEDIA STOP IGNORING THIS ISSUE?
Just Asking..
