Harry Reid: Romney didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years

And suddenly Mitt’s reluctance to release more tax returns makes sense:

In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post from his office on Capitol Hill, Reid saved some of his toughest words for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Romney couldn’t make it through a Senate confirmation process as a mere Cabinet nominee, the majority leader insisted, owing to the opaqueness of his personal finances.

“His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son,” Reid said, in reference to George Romney’s standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.

Saying he had “no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy,” Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office. 

“Harry, he didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years,” Reid recounted the person as saying.

This guy wants to be president and with the amount of information he’s been willing to release so far, he wouldn’t even make it through a senate confirmation! Think about that for a minute.
