Romney: Claim that He Hasn’t Paid Taxes ‘Untrue’
August 2nd, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney says it’s time for Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid to put up or shut up when it comes to talking about the Republican presidential candidate’s taxes.
Reid has been saying this week that an investor with Romney’s former company, Bain Capital, claimed that Romney didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years. Reid says that’s why Romney isn’t releasing more than a year or two of his tax returns.
Reid isn’t saying just who makes that claim — and the Nevada Democrat adds that he isn’t certain that it’s true.
On Thursday, Romney told radio host Sean Hannity that Reid needs to, in Romney’s words, “put up or shut up.” He called the claim about his taxes “untrue, dishonest, and inaccurate.”

it’s believable, that’s what I like!
Unless he releases the returns, he’s guilty until proven innocent.
Anonymous dumped his hacked IRS returns all over the web. In 2008 he made 25 million and paid 412 in federal taxes. Of course offshore not included.
Why does he have overseas accounts. What is he hiding. Guilty as charged.
Just another politician lying to the American public!!!!!
It’s not that he paid zero its that he pays less than your average 60k to 120 k a year household
Typical Obama mudslinging—change the subject—get away from the issue of the economy—this is how Obama wins elections. This reminds me of the false accusations Joe McCarthy made in the 50′s. Go after your own Treasury Secretary–Tim Geitner
Lol Jeffrey hows it feel supporting a guy who makes millions and pays less than you in taxes? Makes you feel pretty stupid huh?
And what stance on the issues should we take for Romney? He’s been on every side at some point.
Hopefully most voters see the the dismal state of the economy as the #1 problem in this country—-not Mitt’s taxes!
as far as i am concerned the gop is fully at fault for the economy . they have blocked everything , haven’t come up with their own plan , and romney just wants to continue down a path that hasn’t worked in 13 years . so logically obama is my choice . i say screw the gop and their american destroying ways . plus the constitution should be the only concern when voting along with civil liberties . not religion !!!!! or what some guy is a fancy hat says is ok or not .
