I had no association with the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999, Romney told ABC News. That is when I left the firm. I am very pleased with the experience I had with the firm but as everyone knows I went on to run the Olympics for three years. I was there full time. After that I came back and ran in Massachusetts for governor.

In addition to questions over whether Romney truly severed all ties with Bain Capital in 1999, his campaign has been under pressure from Democrats and even some Republicans to release several years of tax returns in order to show that he gained no tax benefit from assets in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and a bank account in Switzerland. Romney told CNN he had no plan to release any more returns beyond his 2010 return, which was filed when he was launching his bid for the presidency, and his as-yet-unreleased 2011 return.
Thats all thats necessary for people to understand something about my finances, Romney

(19,458 posts)He really is an out of touch elitist. Just as he's been his whole life.. he is of the "who cares what you think?" mentality of the rich bully. Just like GWB. No, WE the people.. the voters.. the media.. will decide how much information WE need to decide on a candidate.
And fine, if YOU decide that you aren't giving up anything else, and expect us to take your word for it, you will lose in a landslide. People aren't stupid. And even the most diehard republicans don't like you... and will stay at home, or write in Glenn Beck.
