Why Mitt Won’t Release His Taxes – a Theory….
If he has not tithed the requisite 10% GROSS income, he may be MORE afraid of his Mormon constituency (the bishops, council of 12….hell the prophet too!) than any other group of voters. 10% GROSS tithing is required for a “worthy Mormonâ€. He has boasted of his tithing generosity in the past. If his tax returns DON’T support the 10% GROSS INCOME rule – there is MUCH more hell to pay than showing a 13% tax rate which is already pretty disgusting compared to what we ‘middle income’ folks pay.

ever since the "religious freedom" excuse surfaced.
Yup Mitt is afraid of giving, even though he gave his entire inheritance away.

16. Noo, I say it's because his church got MORE than the IRS!
When some old friends of mine were mormons, the rumor was that sometimes the church would ask to see your tax returns, to make sure you were tithing enough, and that their leaders pretty well knew what everybody was making...
What would be the consequence if it came out that overall, his church got, in fact, more than the US? hmmm
Now he afraid of releasing his tax returns because he gives TOO MUCH money to his church? In what world does that make sense?

4. I do believe that Willard has used some of his off-shore accounts
to launder drug money
Yes the Mormon who hasnt ever had a drink or considers caffeine a drug is using offshore accounts for drug money. How do they come up with this?
