Evan Vucci/Associated PressMitt Romney talked about Medicare during a news conference in Spartanburg, S.C., on Thursday. Mr. Romney also answered questions about his tax history and criticized the focus on his taxes as “small-minded.”Mitt Romney said on Thursday that he had not paid less than 13 percent of his income in taxes during the past decade, but he called the continued focus on his personal tax returns “small-minded” in the face of the nation’s problems.Speaking to reporters during a stop in South Carolina, Mr. Romney said that he had examined the last 10 years of his tax returns.“Every year, I’ve paid at least 13 percent,” he said, apparently referring to his effective federal income tax rate.Mr. Romney’s decision to address the tax question on Thursday appeared to be the campaign’s latest attempt to put the nettlesome issue of his tax returns behind him. But Democrats seized on the comments as a way to revive the issue and to once again demand proof of his claims.
we are to believe him after his great record on misleading the truth and just outright lying have been all over the media.
if he thinks he can get away with that one Rev. Al still has that bridge. if he's telling the truth prove it this is nothing the question still lurks above his head, he resolved nothing
Lis Smith, a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, said that since there was “substantial reason” to doubt Mr. Romney’s claims, “we have a simple message for him: prove it.”
his wife no more releases because "they'll attack us", why he said 13% if the returns reflect that, what the fuss?
63% of American's think he should produce the forms, so his assessment that this idea is "SMALL MINDED" says of that 63% how many will still want to vote for him after that berating?
