Why is the Left so worried about Romeny's tax records when there are other things to worry about?

Like the economy, unemployment, national defense,ect?

    that's all they have, anything to attempt to distract voters away from the real issues exactly like you've said here. attacks, lies and distortions are a sign of a desperate campaign, the dem's are in panic mode. thankfully most people see right through these attacks. obama's gotta go.

    Because before we cast a vote we should know if the reason the economy is in the tank is because Romney and people like him made their millions by selling American jobs out to foreign countries.

    That's why unemployment is up, that's why the economy is weak, we lost jobs.

    If someone was heavily involve in that, how could you want to reward that with giving him a job?

    Taxes are all we have heard about for the last 2 years.

    I will list some least you have forgotten:

    - Flat tax

    - Tax reform

    - 9-9-9

    - Super Committee

    Don't you find it interesting that Mitt Romney harassed Ted Kennedy in 1994 for 10 years of tax returns, and now he does not want to release his?

    I want to see it because the topic is relevant and justified.

    Mitt Romney has stated that he would remove loopholes from the tax codes, how do we know which loopholes if we don't see the ones he is using to get a tax rate of 15% or less?

    Why can't we get those as well?

    For the same reason the right is worried about Obama's college transcript.

    Both sides are happy to create distractions right now to avoid the big, looming question.......will

    Congress ever pass a balanced spending bill.

    I find it interesting that during this election cycle, relatively little has been said about Congress' failure to produce a balanced spending bill. Since both sides are equally responsible for stonewalling the process, I have to assume that both sides are equally willing to sidetrack voters with trivial matters like trancripts and tax returns.

    Next time you're watching any incumbent candidate for a federal office, take note of how little that candidate is willing to say about sequestration. This Congress has built a mess that is being completely avoided by campaign slanders and misdirections.

    It is a diversionary tactic so people won't look at the 3 1/2 failure of the present president. Since he has nothing to stand on his only tactic is to attack the opposition.

    Because at this point in time Mitt Romney's perpetual and persistent evasion on this matter has me very suspicious. It is becoming painfully obvious that he has something to hide.

    Because they think they can use this among their ignorant followers to go along with the class warfare strategy that they are campaigning on this year.

    Trying to divert attention from Obummers loser record.

    coming from the guys who INSISTED on obama showing his birth cerfiticate, this is just funny.

    if romney has nothing to hide, he should disclose.

    if he does, he shouldn't.

    period.
