Survey of WI Republican leaders re: Romney taxes

Here's what they're thinking in Wisconsin:

"A resounding 83 percent of respondents said Romney shouldn’t release additional years of tax returns to the public. Just 11 percent claimed he should release additional returns, and 5 percent were undecided.

Patch sent questionnaires to 93 key party activists, elected officials, conservative bloggers and talk show hosts, and others who agreed to anonymously give their opinions in a series of surveys between now and November. Patch received completed surveys from 77 people — or 83 percent of those surveyed.

Among those who have agreed to participate in the survey are state Reps. Jeff Stone, Dan Knodl, Mark Honadel and Don Pridemore; Mark Green, former congressman and U.S. ambassador; Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas; and conservative radio talk show hosts Charles Sykes and Jeff Wagner."

I think that to some Repubs, anyone who can weasel out of paying taxes and make it seem legal is a hero. They think it is a perk of being rich and strive to be able to do so themselves, even though they are not rich.
