What surprises await in Romney's tax returns.

So far, we've found out that they had a couple of part time house cleaners to take care of all their houses, and that somehow they took a $70,000 tax loss on a horse. Not to mention his IRA is worth $100,000,000. What other surprises could there be awaiting us?

it would allow the Dems to keep focus on the returns since they'll be so complicated.. and there will be many ways to interpret them.. so she said they'd rather take the hit on secrecy than that

letting taxpayers make up the difference (and therefore probably paying zero taxes in that year)? And I have a feeling the returns will show he's been worth a lot more than $250 million at one time or another. Didn't he give away $100 million to his sons?
