He has only released the returns that show no embarassing information. Do you really think if there wasn't anything in them he didn't want us to see he wouldn't have already publicized them?
I can prove I haven't beaten my wife in the last two years, too.
The man is telling us he deserves to be president because he's such a great businessman, but he won't reveal any evidence of his career as a businessman. (Remember, he's been unemployed for the last few years, living off his investments.) Other candidates of both parties have done this, proudly, including his own father. This is why his own fellow Republicans have urged him to come clean, it really shouldn't be all that big a deal.
The reason Mitt doesn't want to tell us how much he paid in taxes isn't because he broke the law, it's because it would show everyone how the tax law is rigged in favor of the top 1%; the tax law his political opponents want to change. In spite of that, the 1% still think their taxes are too high, and that the peasantry are getting too many benefits, and they are asking us to trust them and let them run this country's economy without supervision like they did during the Bush years. "Trust us. We know what we're doing. We are the entrepreneurs, the job creators. That's why we're rich and you're not."
This goes to the very root of his qualifications and his philosophy. If little Willard wants us to give him a bigger allowance, we have every right to see his report card.
