Obama Campaign Makes Romney’s Week Worse By Asking, What Else is He Hiding?
By: Sarah JonesSep. 22nd, 2012more from Sarah Jones
That didn’t take long. Obama for America is already out punching with a new ad titled “Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns: What Else is He Hiding?”
Watch here:
OFA’s transcript:
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?
End transcript.
Mitt Romney planned his tax return dump on a Friday for a reason, but this story isn’t going away. In fact, it’s at the heart of the job he’s running for. The American people, even those 47% Romney thinks are victims, have a right to know where his money (aka, his interests) are. They have a right to know what tax policies he’s benefited from, especially when his interests appear to impact his tax policy in his own favor (unlike Obama who would pay more under his own policies).

I have always suspected that he is hiding something, so I’m not surprised. All this release did is provide an additional confirmation that he paid taxes at a much lower rate than most Americans. However, his many flaws mean that releasing more of his taxes will do nothing to redeem his unappealing image of being out-of-touch, autocratic, and lacking in a moral compass which he’s done his level best to earn. I take that back–it’s the REAL Romney.

Ryan says he & Romney will get together with Congress to decide “which loopholes (in the tax code) to close.” My dearest Gram-mama (RIP) and her knitting needles would scoff at such folly. One loophole and the entire work unravels; we the “ewepeople” know this.
Romney’s hiding multimillions on foreign shores. Bet against your countrymen, you lose, Mr. Romney.
