The current to-do is over why Romney won't release his most current returns, which some suspect may show a zero tax burden due to a combination of offshore tax shelters and heavy claimed losses during the recession.

"Not sure what the liberals think..."

I bet you're "not sure", because you always claim ignorance about situations where liberals put their feet in their mouths...so since you are not sure, allow me to enlighten you...the media (especially MSNBC) made a big deal over Ann Romney's $900 shirt, suggesting it was evidence that the Romneys have nothing in common with the middle class.

I recall that Palin was similarly criticized. So it's OK, I guess, for liberal women to wear expensive clothes, but conservative women, I guess, should shop where they belong, at Goodwill.

"The current to-do is over why Romney won't release his most current returns, which some suspect may show a zero tax burden "

OK. There was a previous to-do which was similar. I'll use your words, and change them to reflect the previous to-do...

"The current previous to-do is over why Romney Obama won't release his most current returns, long form birth certificate which some suspect may show a zero tax burden that he wasn't born here. "

Spence, how was the birthers' suspicion of Obama, any less valid than Harry Reid's suspicion of Romney?

Romney is flatly denying the charge. So there is no evidence, none whatsoever, that he paid zero taxes.

And if he did pay zero taxes, it was obviously within the law, since the IRS isn't after him. If liberals don';t like those laws that provide tax shelters, why the hell didn't they change those laws when they controlled the executive and legislative branches for two years? What was stopping them from changing those laws? Nothing. SO the only conclusion is that Democrats don't want those laws changed, which means they have no right to attack those who abide by those laws.

Game. Set. Match.
