Addressing the issue at a news conference in North Las Vegas, Nevada, yesterday, Romney suggested Reid may be doing the White House’s bidding in leading the attack.
“I have paid taxes every year, and a lot of taxes — a lot of taxes,” he said. “So Harry is simply wrong, and that’s why I’m so anxious for him to produce the names of the people who have put this forward. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear the names are people from the White House or the Obama campaign.”
So you’re a Republican politician who could completely destroy the reputation of the Democrat leader by simply releasing your tax returns, and instead you’re claiming you pay “a lot” and trying to reverse the burden of evidence?
Sounds like Reid may have a point.

I’m sure that every time he buys something, he pays purchase taxes (as long as it’s not for a business, and depending on the jurisdiction). He probably pays property taxes, depending on where he has property. However, we’re talking about income taxes, nothing else…
I wouldn’t be so sure of that Sue. He’s got at least one house in New Hampshire, which doesn’t impose a sales tax.
