Because the accusation is (in part) that he used unlawful methods to achieve his low rate.

If he did do it lawfully, I would not oppose him doing whatever he wants... However, I do think that he should not be entitled to pay such a low rate on such large amounts.

Have not heard of such a statement before. Am i missing something? Hope you have evidence to back up your claim. Why should'n he? No law has been broken as far as we know.

Yes on both counts Mr. Prosecutor. Why don't you do a little seach for "Mitt Romney Fraudulent Tax Returns" and see what pops up.

Here, I will start you off with one... But the next one will cost a bit.

That may be the accusation from some, but I am pretty sure he is on record saying he had (closed in 2010) a Swiss bank account and also had some money invested in the Cayman Islands. However, he states all accounts were disclosed to the IRS and so far the Gov't/IRS hasn't accused him of doing anything illegal, so I don't see what the big deal is?

Also, I think I read that he it taxed at a higher rate than 97% of Americans, that he made a 14% contribution to charity and so on. I also think most of his income was actually on investments, which is taxed at a different rate.

The big deal is that some think his taxes are fishy ans want to take a look.

I guess Trump feels the same way about Obama's college transcripts, so what is the difference?

I just don't understand why the taxes are such a big deal. Romney has filed his taxes with the IRS and they haven't accused him of doing anything wrong, so what would you do with them? Is it a lack of trust in the Gov't? If that is the case maybe we all really do need to personally see original copies of Obama's birth certificate and college transcripts.
