Ron Paul to Mitt Romney: Release tax returns

[MindMover]

Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Tuesday that Mitt Romney should release more of his tax returns, adding to the pressure on the GOP nominee to share personal financial information with the public.
“Politically, I think that would help him,” the Republican congressman and former presidential candidate said in an interview with POLITICO. “In the scheme of things politically, you know, it looks like releasing tax returns is what the people want.”

The Obama camp has been pummeling the former Massachusetts governor over his refusal to release more years of tax returns as a part of its larger effort to paint Romney as a wealthy businessman out of touch with the middle class. Romney’s campaign has said that the issue of his taxes is a distraction from the debate over Obama’s economic record.

“Tax havens, offshore accounts, carried interest: Mitt Romney has used every trick in the book. Romney admits that over the last two years, he’s paid less than 15 percent in taxes on $43 million in income. Makes you wonder if some years he paid any taxes at all,” the latest Obama ad says.
