[quote=ucodegen][quote=briansd1]Talking about disclosure, we have Mitt Romney who refuses to disclose anything more than 2010 and 2011 tax returns. I smell a rat.[/quote]
.. really?? ok, that means that Clinton is a real rat because he did NOT release any tax info before his presidency – president in 1992.. first released tax report – 1992.
How about Jimmy Carter.. presidency 1977, first released tax report 1977.
Presidential/Vice Presidential candidates: McCain, Palin released 2 years of tax reports previous to their run – which is the same number of years that Romney is releasing. Romney is also releasing info from their Trust, which I suspect no politician has. Hillary Clinton released no tax info during her presidential run…
Just can the partisan crap. This is a fishing expedition by the democratic party because Obama’s record is not playing to the public very well, so lets distract the public.
It is and always has been.. the Economy and Jobs.[/quote]
agree the tax return thing is all politics. hence Romney needs to just release the tax info and take a hit for a couple of weeks and move on. otherwise this thing is going to keep haunting him. one big problem is you got the ghost of George Romney’s quote “One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show.” how do you fight against that?!
as for economy and jobs. I doubt either Romney nor Obama can do much with the economic trend.
in the developing world, government policies is vital for the economy. in the developed world, government policies at best changes the slope of the up and down sine wave.
