Mediaite: Republican Debate Audience Boos Mitt Romney Over Releasing Tax Returns (video clip)

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/republican-debate-audience-boos-mitt-romney-over-releasing-tax-returns/

-snip-

At this point, some jeering could be heard, as Romney concluded, “When I have our taxes ready for this year, I’ll release them.”

After moving on to Rick Santorum (whose taxes are on his computer at home), King came back to Romney to ask him if he would follow his father’s example, and release 12 years worth of returns.

“Maybe.” Romney said, with an uncomfortable laugh. “I don’t know how many years I’ll release. I’ll take a look at what our documents are.”

His response was met with loud jeers from the crowd. Romney is wrong on this. His old tax returns will continue to be a death of a thousand cuts, and he ought to take Chris Christie’s advice, and put them out now.

it is just at the rest stop along the trickle up economic interstate. The day after the general election, it will be totally business as usual, or something worse.
