Axelrod: Tax Returns An Indication Of How Romney Might Govern

[Klukie]

Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod explained that how Mitt Romney has handled his finances matters because it brings into question how he would reform the tax code in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.

“I’m not suggesting that based on what we know, that he’s done anything illegal,” Axelrod said. “But what I am suggesting is that he’s taken advantage of every single conceivable tax shelter loophole that we can see. And now is he the guy that’s gonna clean up our tax code and make it advantageous to average taxpayers and the country? Or is he gonna look at it through the lens of his own experience?”

[Thinkingabout]

1. Hey maybe the House will hold Romney in Contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over tax returns

then Mitt will be right along with the BS they did to holder.

2. I cannot imagine how Rmoney would have any choices other than to continue down down down down

the same rabbit hole.

3. Exactly!

It's not about what he did (unless he is hiding something illegal) in those returns. It is about what they represent regarding how he took every advantage he could to avoid paying taxes and how he would continue to support such loopholes to his own personal advantage and the advantage of his friends and business cronies. It is also about investing millions in accounts in foreign countries rather than investing in this country.

What type of person anticipating running for President of the United States does not see that it would be problematic to not have all of his money in the United States?

4. He might govern secretly

We can assume he'd hide as much as possible from public view.

Very disturbing to imagine.
