1. No investigation is needed.
It could very well be that he paid zero taxes all those years. The system is set up to make sure people like Mitt can avoid taxes - very likely that everything he did was 100% legal.
No, the real damage comes from just the fact being out there.

2. I don't think anything is per-se illegal in there.
He's too smart for that, and has an army of tax attorneys backing his filings. Rmoney is the master of no loophole left behind.
If anything, it highlights how corrupt the US taxing code/system is. I agree with investigate and not prosecute. Investigate and shine a light on the loopholes that are out there and raise the volume on demands for a fairer and less complex system of tax avoidance.

3. No. Simply point out that one of the highest earners in the nation LEGALLY paid no taxes....
... and that is what is WRONG with our tax laws.
Romeny's not the answer, he's the problem.

5. Seize the stateside Romney assets and deport their asses to the Caymans or Switzerland.
The President might as well be the totalitarian they claim he is.

If it's good enough for General Electric, it should be good enough for Mitt Romney.

What makes you think they don't assume Reid is lying out his ass and are willing to be part of that lie to keep their power?

It's something the DUmmies want to believe so bad, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

Stop
presuming
innocence!
On any given day those ****tards will filet anyone who utters a cross word about the rapacious and moribund culture that is Islam because supposedly broad-brush ridicule is bigoted or something; head-cuttings and honor-killings notwithstanding.
But as soon as Rmoney became the presumptive nominee they tore into him about "magic underwear" until the fact that Harry Reid is a Mormon became too much public knowledge to disregard.
Those asshats have zero scruples, principles or ethics. They crave power and that is all they crave. If they have to lie and resort to "guilty until proven innocent" and use government power tpo prosecute you they will because the last thing they can afford is to allow you to live your life on your terms because then you will ignore them.

I'm sensing a 24 business hour investigation in 24 business hours.

You're guilt has already been determined. This is a sentencing hearing.

Thats what I was thinking. The DUmmies want early communist "Show Trials." Predetermined dramas designed to justify the bloody purges yet to come.

So what if he didn't pay any taxes.....did he get a fat tax refund check after not paying taxes like most of the nonworking DUmmies?

Not only that, but companies like Solyndra got money back. It's like they paid no taxes at all.
