Let's get to see Mitts and Anns undergarments too, while we are at it.
It's common knowledge that Presidential candidates release their previous year's Tax Returns. for Romney, that was 2010. He requested an extension until August to have his tax attorney and accountant prepare his 2011 tax return as Obama and the Democrats were attempting to pass the Buffet Rule and make it retroactive to 2011. No need to spend the money to submit that year twice...seemed like a sensible decision to me!
It's common knowledge to un-American tax cheats. Not common knowledge to the average Joe. You must be wealthy to be able to play this game and if you are indeed playing it then you're cheating the country you supposedly love. Mitt Romney should be jailed for dodging his responsibilities. If I didn't pay my taxes I would be jailed and I pay 50% more than Mittens.
The question is: What had mittens done with his quarter billion and 15% tax rate to create jobs?

While we tax ourselves at 50% (if we do pretty well and make $100,000/year and give him the 15% rate brought down to about 12% with deductions, we hope he does the right thing with his money and invests in the american economy and creates high paying jobs with good benefits, but he doesnt, none of them do.
That is why commodites are over leveraged, and there is no investment. Investment occurs when the rich are over taxed and they plead with their accountants and say: surely there has got to be a way to lower this tax bill.
Answer: Invest in long term growth.
Right now they get their profits pretty much for free, why reinvest?
Mitt Romney truly, unequivocally believes that he will become a real “god” in the
next life & be given his own planet to Lord over, He will call his wife, Ann, onto
to populate with spirit children. Would you truly vote for a man who truly
believed he was going to become a REAL GOD AND BE GIVEN HIS OWN PLANET? Or,
would you question his judgment?
