Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to weigh in on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hotly-disputed remarks that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years -- saying the president hasn't expressed an opinion about Reid's assertion.
"I would simply say that you all probably know Senator Reid well, and, you know, he speaks for himself," Carney said, adding that the "broader question" is about presidential candidates releasing "multiple years" of their tax returns.
"It's not always every candidate's favorite part of the process, but it's a tradition that's important, it's valuable to the American people as they decide who should be president," Carney said. Romney has refused to release more than 2 years of returns; the Obama campaign and Democrats have been pressing for more and Reid took to the Senate floor Thursday to proclaim, "The word’s out that he (Romney) hasn’t paid any taxes for 10 years."
Republican National Committee chair Reince Preibus called Reid a "dirty liar" for the allegation.
Reid is Right as Rain ...and Willard is all Wet.
‘Cause Americans have a RIGHT to see the tax returns
of anyone who wants to be their President!
NO if’s, ...No and’s, ....and NO big fat butt’s about it!
Confession is good for the soul Mitt..... assuming you have one.
So Relax, Repent, and Release your Returns, Mr. Romney …OR…
just go back to playing with your pet dancing ponies.
No problem. We’ll understand. Unless …perhaps ….just perhaps
…you’re HIDING something, dear Willard? Just asking.
P.S. By the way, Mr. Mitt: just how DID you manage to stuff all those millions into your
tax-loophole IRA account?… while the REST of us poor smucks have strict limits?
Inquiring minds want to know.
And you want even MORE tax cuts for you and your rich buddies, Mitt?
WHAT GALL! These fat cats aren’t satisfied - they want it ALL ...EVERYTHING!!
But tell me Mitt, just how MANY cars and houses can you hog?
And just how MANY silver spoons can you stuff into your smirking mouth?
Mitt baby, you can fool some of the people some of the time,
but -please- take my advice: if you want to run for dog-catcher
KEEP your precious tax returns, and just clean off your car roof.
OTHERWISE, if you wanna be our President, THEN PUT UP,
…or shut up and go away ….preferably BEFORE the convention.
The super-rich think that they have the God-given right to do anything
they want in this great country -while the REST of us get screwed!
ENOUGH!!! The divine right of kings ended a long long time ago Mitt.
And so should your sorry excuse for a candidacy.
Nothing personal, guy. Really.
Rich, arrogant, power-hungry Republicans are people too!
It's just their "culture" I guess. .....As you are so fond of saying.
