Romney referred to the question of his tax release as trivial here in South
Carolina even as some republican stalwarts and ordinary citizens call on him to
release more of his tax returns. After a careful review of his returns for the
past ten years or so, he concluded that he has paid an average of 13 percent in
taxes. Unfortunately, there are not many who trust politicians of any hue in all
societies and in all regions of the world.
If Brother Mitt demanded many years of tax returns from those he vetted for VP,
it makes a real political sense for him, in my judgment, to do so himself. After
all, transparency and accountability are major hallmarks in democratic
theory--because their observance or practice furthers the legitimacy of any
government. And what is more? WE DEMAND LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE!!!
So, it might be in Romney's BEST interest to release at least 10 years of his
income taxes now!!!
