We don't know! We have people to do these things for us. We can't be bothered with petty details.

Most likely that's what he or Ann would spout at the question. The big problem is the right wing control of the media. They will never ask this question in person. Only if there is a call-in show like CSPAN could anyone ever get a word in between the lapdog's whining coverage of R-R.

answer. I think R's answer about paying taxes could be right...because he was talking about the last ten years.
Reid's source is an insider at Bain. Bain years were the 90s. Of course, no one asks this question..."Mr Romney, did you pay federal income tax for every year in the 1990s?"

Most people supporting Mittens understand that no one person has the answer to anything, and this is also the reason they seldom go to jail. It's the entire corporation, and as CEO, he's just the highest paid employee.

In the corporate mind set, to go after the whole corporation, to actually punish it is enforcing collective punishment on a number of small fish or innocent parties, such as the pension funds people count on.

If the government was to administer the death penalty of revoking their charter to operate in the United States, all of those people would be hurt and the government would be responsible for making them whole.

This is the connectivity that these pirates or as I call them, parasites, are using to destroy the whole. It is not collusion or weak or spineless Democrats. These pirates know innocents will be hurt and make excuses that placate part of those effected.

The Romney types play us at our weak spot, the part of us that wants to do no harm to each other. There is no sacrificing for the greater good, that is a totaliarian mind set saying a certain number of people will just have to die off, like insurance company gatekeepers and headchoppers to profit the owners and stockholders.

That is exactly how Romney became uber rich. It's fighting the tide, finding a place to stand while getting a handle on these bad actors. But state the question as you will, and I still think that the tax questions are great and 'have legs.'
