Texas Representative Ron Paul added his voice on Tuesday to the chorus of conservatives advising Mitt Romney to release additional tax returns, suggesting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee would benefit from a show of transparency.
“Politically, I think that would help him,” Paul — technically still a Republican presidential candidate — told Politico. “In the scheme of things politically, you know, it looks like releasing tax returns is what the people want.”

Is there anybody left outside the Romney team that thinks that Romney shouldn't release them?
Just another example of Romney's looking down his nose at the rest of us. Interestingly, Bloomberg Business Week this week includes a deep article about the Mormon Church and its operations. Run like a corporation with a "prophet" at the top, all tithing goes to Salt Lake and all expenditures run through the top. The most telling part: Mormon charities for humanitarian causes are only 0.7% of budget, citing a comparison to the Methodists at 29+%. It grates me when Romney speaks of his "patriotism" and his "community devotion" when he makes money through exploitation, banks it overseas and claims charitable donations to a church that uses it to build up its businesses.
