It's the Amnesty Program, people!
We need the answer to the single most critical tax question: did Romney take advantage of the criminal amnesty program for unreported Swiss bank accounts?

Dear Matt (Rhoades, Romney Campaign Manager):
I know you feel harassed about former Governor Romney's tax returns. After all, only 63 percent of the American people, whom your candidate considers "small-minded", want them -- and who cares what the American people want anyhow, right?

But, my readings about the Watergate affair prevent me from shirking my civic responsibility in putting to rest one of Nixon's own criteria: "The American people are entitled to know whether their president is a crook".
So, here is my simple proposal. I do not really need all of Governor Romney's tax returns. We already see his "love for America" in his setting up bank accounts with tens of millions of U.S. dollars in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Luxembourg and god knows where else other than the United States. We already know that the entire middle class has been paying the taxes that Mitt escaped. If he paid a single dollar more in taxes than he could get away with, Governor Romney believes he would be disqualified from being president.
Here's what we need: just tell us whether Governor Romney received an amnesty from prosecution from the IRS in exchange for paying back taxes and a penalty on one or more of his overseas accounts.
