Romney V. Obama: The Tax Return Story

I have been following CNN as of late to recapture my love for all things media. Instead I learned about Romney's tax returns. While a newsworthy lack of free information I have been hearing the same three things over and over again. Here is a list for those of you who don't want to waste your time.

1. Romney only released the last 2 years of Tax Returns.

2. Romney refuses to release more

3. Paul Ryan released the same two

While this information is invigorating and rehashing it over and over again will urge the presidential candidate to continue to do as he likes the surrounding effects of this refusal are actually quite fascinating. Gov. Romney has a history of politics in his family. His "Dad" as the press is calling him released 10 or 12 years of returns when he ran for Governor of Michigan (the position Mitt now holds.) Obama has urged Romney to follow in Daddy's footsteps and do the same.  George W. Romney was also a devout member of the Mormon church and a great business man. Mitt seems to have followed in the footsteps of his father and none of this information would have seemed pertinent nor even have come out of the shadows of ignorance without this supposed tax scandal.


 "Governor Romney's own dad says: 'The reason I put out 10 or 12 years [of returns] is that any single year might not tell you the whole story."



Obama showed how little he has against Romney by running this campaign add. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1D1jI61ckY
He panders to the people suffering from the worst of the economy and makes it sound as though tax returns will keep Romney from caring about us little people. Real smooth Obama campaign.

Obama released his Tax returns his first time around in the election ride. His date back all the way to the year 2000. Most of his voters hadn't started paying taxes until 2009 (so that must have seemed like forever!) But most presidential candidates have been releasing this amount of information since the 70's. So it was less like Obama did something right and more like Romney is breaking tradition.

 I personally don't care why Romney is being so stubborn but his running mate Paul Ryan makes me nervous.
He seems to have become the face of the Romney campaign. I never knew this much about Biden. So I want to know even more about this Ryan Character.

That's all you need to know about the news right now. So STOP WATCHING!
