Why is that an issue and who's making it an issue? Mitt isn't making it an issue. He's filed his returns, and the IRS has accepted them, with, apparently, no accusations of wrongdoing. That "people would like to know" (really, which people and how did they come to be interested?) is no reason for him, or you, or I to disclose our returns in order to satisfy their curiosity. Oh, because he's running for President? OK, somehow, you think that finding out what tax advantages he's taken advantage of will impact how he will fulfill his responsibilities as President. My opinion, if he is adept at following IRS rules, that might be some small indication that he would be adept as President, especially with tax issues. Maybe that will enable him to relate to the rest of us not liking to be overburdened with taxes. I would be more suspicious of someone who sees no problem with high tax rates to sustain an irresponsible, and profligate government which spends more that it gets and won't even pass a budget.

If he is legit it is not a problem being wealthy
Ike Kerry.

Apparently, the IRS has not questioned his legitimacy.

It is ironic to me that Mitt"s father was the candidate who initiated multiple year tax disclosure and he is turning this into a bigger issue than it should be.

Why am I getting the vibe that the Obama team is turning this into an issue, not Romney?
