Obama Campaign Wants Romney To Release 5 Years Of Tax Returns

"The Romney campaign clarified to pool reporters later in the day that he was, indeed, "referring to federal income taxes" when he said he paid a rate above 13 percent over the past 10 years."

If Romney participated in the IRS Tax Amnesty Program in 2009, both Reid and Romney can be telling the truth.  

It's been speculated that, among many reasons, it's the IRS's Tax Amnesty Program in 2009 that Romney is probably trying to hide.

In 2008, a whistleblower at Swiss bank UBS informed the IRS that American clients held thousands of Swiss accounts at the bank to avoid paying US taxes.  UBS initially refused to give up the names of those with accounts citing Swiss law, but eventually caved, gave up the names, and paid a substantial $780 million fine.

But the IRS didn’t prosecute those tax evaders. Instead, it decided to establish (in 2009) the so-called “special tax amnesty program,” which gave legal immunity and limited penalities to those who voluntarily turned themselves in (read: free ride).  It also kept these names anonymous.

So then: Did Romney, who disclosed that he had a Swiss bank account at least in 2010, take advantage of this program?  Why won’t he come clean with American voters? 

And why the cut-off at 2010 for Paul Ryan's returns?  Did he also participate in the 2009 amnesty program?  Given the wealth his wife brought into the marriage, it's conceivable.

And why aren’t more in the media asking these questions?  If we want the media to get to the bottom of this, cut and paste this under your own name and send it to them all.  Or write your own version.  Flood their email.

Now before Obama's 'most ardent fans' get too excited, remember that it was Obama's IRS that instituted this tax amnesty program, with its secrecy.   I anticipate Obama's supporters will now defend him and the program, but what they can't get around is that when it comes to getting justice for the American people, the 99%, Obama can't be bothered.  He's weak tea, like how his DoJ just ended investigations of Goldman Sachs, "declining not to bring any prosecutions".  

Both parties, corrupt to the core.
