How Ryan makes Romney's Tax problem worse

[WI_DEM]

Alec MacGillis: "Already, there is a curious bit of conventional wisdom taking hold that Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan is shrewd because it will draw attention from Romney's ever-more apparent weaknesses, notably the more rapacious elements of his work at Bain Capital and his undisclosed tax returns. Sorry, but this makes no sense. It seems hard to imagine a running mate who would jibe better with the Democrats' Bain Capital attacks than a well-born Ayn Rand acolyte. More crucially, it is hard to imagine a running mate who will draw more attention to the matter of Romney's taxes than Paul Ryan. Why? Because under the 'Ryan plan' that made the congressman famous, Mitt Romney would pay zero taxes."

"Don't believe it? Romney himself said so, just a few months ago."

Matthew Ryan: "Under Paul Ryan's plan, Mitt Romney wouldn't pay any taxes for the next ten years -- or any of the years after that. Now, do I know that that's true. Yes, I'm certain."

1. Is Ryan on record as to whether Mitt should release his returns? Is there a reporter with the nerve

to ask him?
