Harry Reid: Bain Investor Told Me That Mitt Romney 'Didn't Pay Any Taxes For 10 Years'

[Tx4obama]

WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has what he says is an informed explanation for why Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns. According a Bain investor, Reid charged, Romney didn't pay any taxes for 10 years.

"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son," Reid said, in reference to George Romney's standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.

Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.

"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.

"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?

1. not only that but look at what else he said hahahahahahahaa Harry really let loose

"We feel comfortable in the Senate," he said. "Where the problem is, is this: Because of the Citizens United decision, Karl Rove and the Republicans are looking forward to a breakfast the day after the election. They are going to assemble 17 angry old white men for breakfast, some of them will slobber in their food, some will have scrambled eggs, some will have oatmeal, their teeth are gone. But these 17 angry old white men will say, 'Hey, we just bought America. Wasn't so bad. We still have a whole lot of money left.'"

2. WOW!.. Harry's really hitting on all cylinders isn't he!

Given that he's not particularly disposed to hyperbole, that is one hell of a statement.

If you want to blame anyone, blame congress.
They're the ones who passed the laws on loopholes.

Yes, maybe, but seriously ?

Senator Inhofe who declares GW a big hoax and had the proof, well his proof a physisist at U of CA, declared the Inhofe hoax was a hoax and was funded by the Koch bros who funds Inhofe. Inhofe's source has now written a book declaring GW is for real, google RICHARD MULLER for the rest of the story and this story was on the Racheal Maddow show MSNBC last night

8. kudos to Harry

I live in Vegas and I've been a fan of how Harry Reid operates for some time now. His campaign for re-election to the senate against bat shit crazy Sharon Angle in 2010 was a classic. Everyone and their mother thought she was going to win because of the usually mid-term, anti-incumbent lean but sly ol' Harry just ran ad after ad of her own crazy, hair raising statements and he beat her handily. After the election he even crowed a little, saying "I've had some close races in my political career but this wasn't one of them." He's a sly ol' fox who helped the president get all his accomplishments thru the senate, including the ACA act.
