Elizabeth Warren backs off demand that Scott Brown release more tax returns

Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more years of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already released six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to release more than four years of her filings.

Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren backed off her demand hours later, saying Tuesday that six years was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.

The episode began on Monday night, when Warren called on Brown to release two decades worth of filings.

“I think Scott Brown should release his tax returns for all the years he’s been in public service,” Warren said in Worcester Monday night, according to the website GoLocalWorcester.com. “He’s been in public service for 20 years, then he should have 20 years of tax returns.”

4. That would be brilliant...

Even if Romney doesn't she should release a lot more. The sooner the better. And with an apology.  


I rowed over and towed this back because it made me  :rofl:

I suspect it will continue to gain hilarity momentum as time goes by.

5. This election season is beyond depressing.

Both sides act like bratty kids in a playground.

Show me yours. No, you show me yours first. No, you.......etc., etc., etc.

Really more your side, Bea.  Look at Harry Reid in the Jr. High locker room:  "Some guy told me that some guy told him that Jennifer was making out with someone behind the bleachers!!!"  

Fauxcahontas wanted 20 years?

No kidding!  She makes a shitload of money at Harvard!  Twice than Scott, I think.   She's trying to stupidly jump on the Reid bandwagon.  Bad call.  

ETA:  What this?

Scott should go along with the 20 year look back. Then she would have to do the same. We'd get to see what her bonus was the year that she won a HUGE lawsuit for a Wall Street insurance company. The lawsuit settlement gave mesothelioma victims just about nothing and saved her Wall Street client a fortune. What was her bonus that year? No one wants to say but we haven't heard her go into a 'transparency tirade' because of that. 20 years would also bring us back to just about the time that she decided to be a Native American. Nice little uptick on her returns for that year too. Voters need to see the real Liz.

That's your hero, DUmmies?

With all of the lying to get good government jobs, I would ask for Fauxohauntis's pension pay outs. I bet she grosses $750,000 plus when she is not working......and health insurance at about $30,000/yr.

Would you buy an used car from Warren? HELL NO!

Saw a new Brown ad tonight featuring a female Democratix endorsement.  Warren is making Martha Cokley look good.



Although they do both have that same Moonbat look about them............................

Go Granny go Granny go.  < away ~ what the Democratix are saying >


New Obama ad is shot to make his head look large? Anyone else notice this?  To me it is pretty obvious.

Scott Brown is worth $4 million; and Elizabeth Warren is worth $14 million. But Warren would say that Brown is part of the 1%, not her. Plus, I think she would have more tax info to expose. Like why Harvard is paying her $750,000.00 a year?

For anyone who thinks this was just a small mistake, check out this Huffington post article.


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/24/scott-brown-tax-returns-elizabeth-warren_n_1448796.html

Check out the date.  She knew back in April that Brown has released more returns than she has.  I'm beginning think that Liawatha has serious mental issues.

I am still trying to figure how one of those cost $2,000.00 brand new in the 70's; and today they cost upwards of $30,000.00.  :confused:

And if it gives us another vote in the Senate I am all in favor of it.

Granny Warren needs tobe asked to defend the Hard-vard endowment situation.  Lizzy should any institution be allowed to have that much money and charge students the outrageous rates they do?   Hard-vard should use it to forgive all former students loans. :fuelfire:

Highlights:
•Endowment valued at $32 billion as of June 30, up $4.4 billion (16 percent) from $27.6 billion a year earlier.
•Harvard Management Company records 21.4 percent investment return on endowment assets during fiscal year 2011.
•All asset categories yield positive returns.
•Harvard’s performance narrowly exceeds its market benchmarks and the principal measure of large endowments’ returns.
•Investment managers caution about impact of recent volatile markets and adverse economic conditions on future returns.

HARVARD’S ENDOWMENT was valued at $32 billion as of June 30, the end of fiscal year 2011—up 16 percent from $27.6 billion at the end of fiscal 2010—according to the annual report released by Harvard Management Company (HMC) on September 22. During the fiscal year just ended, HMC recorded an investment return of 21.4 percent on endowment and related assets—a gain in value of perhaps $5.8 billion to $6 billion, using a back-of-the-envelope calculation.

Oh my God, is she ugly.  I'm sure she's quite wealthy, can't she go see a hairdresser, and also get those eyebrows plucked?  Gah!

I wonder what Lizzy is going to talk about in her convention speech.  Do you think it'll be in the same flavor as "you didn't build that?"
