Why won’t Mitt Romney release his tax reforms? It may be because if the results are seen, it disqualifies him from the presidency…
Here is the shot of his 1999 tax return.

The important piece is to notice the date, and the address. Here is why.
Under Federal code you can only live in one state at a time.. If it is Utah, you can claim state and local tax breaks of Utah, not Massachusetts. If it is in Massachusetts, you can claim that state’s local tax breaks, but not those in Utah. Simply try having two homes, one in Maryland and the other in Delaware, and try getting a local price on a fishing license… “Sure you may pay property taxes in two states,…. but what state is on your license“, you get asked.
Romney in 1999….. $54,000 a year in Utah tax breaks, while taking the same in Massachusetts tax breaks and voting in Massachusetts.
Mitt voted in Massachusetts in 2000. Which fails as a violation of election law since he declared Utah on his Form 1040 submitted on January 3, 2000.
Mitt ran for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002. Which fails the Massachusetts Constitution residence requirement if he filed in Utah in 1999 or 2000 or 2001 on his Form 1040.
Therefore his Massachusetts term of governorship was illegal. He was not eligible to run for any Massachusetts office because he was a Utah resident in 1999.
Knowing the controversy swirling around our current president and the unfounded rumors of his holding office illegitimately over lack of proof of a certain residency, Romney is certainly not going to suffer the same fate. He is keeping his tax returns under wrap.
It all makes sense now.

The ‘don’t tax the rich guy candidate,’
has become the ‘rich guy (refusing to release his taxes) candidate.’
Rmoney believes taxes on the rich and corporations should be lowered, How low can he go? Most likely, his missing tax returns would reveal that.
Rmoney has one horrendous tax plan for the people, however. The Tax Policy Center labored to make Romney’s promises add up, but every simulation ended with a tax increase on the middle class.
“The tax cuts Romney is offering to the rich are simply larger than the size of the (non-investment) deductions and loopholes that exist for the rich. That’s why it’s “mathematically impossible” for Romney’s plan to produce anything but a tax increase on the middle class.”
“Romney has promised to increase defense spending and hold benefits steady for the current generation of seniors. The only remaining big spending programs are those that help the poorest; that is where Romney’s cuts would have to be concentrated.
What a plan. Increase taxes on the middle class, curtail programs for the poorest, to pay for tax cuts for the richest.
The question remains. When you have a ‘plan’ for the 1-2% richest Americans (that includes Rmoney’s corporate ‘people,’ how can Rmoney get the poor and middle class republicans to cut their own throats and vote republican?
Here’s what Rmoney economic plan looks like:

Most outrageously, no new costs for regulations. Of course there will be regulations. Romney wants the people to pay the costs of corporate regulations. Haven’t republican voters figured out republican politicians have been lying to them regarding something as huge and planet destroying as climate change? Think about the costs involved in CO2 regulations to save our planet. The polluting corporations are making trillions dumping CO2 into our atmosphere for free. Romney is, at the same time, claiming CO2 is not a pollutant. Romney’s saying, No regulations.. but if there are regulations…no new costs for regulations. That says, no CO2 tax. That says, have the people pay, if they want fossil fuel industries to stop using the people’s air, lands and waters, as free hazardous waste dump sites. What republican would vote for such an evil plan? Do middle class republicans think they should have to pay multi billion dollar corporate ‘people’ so they might stop destroying the planet? Imagine Rmoney and the 1% having the audacity to want to use the people’s government to accomplish such an arrangement.
