Why Won't Mitt Romney Release His Taxes?

Mitt Romney recently declared that he would not release more than his 2010 and estimated 2011 tax returns.

Romney - Release The Taxes Tshirts by PoliticalDepot
Despite the fact that Democrats, Independents and Republicans (link) alike have called on Romney to release his taxes, he adamantly refuses. What is he hiding? Is it possible those returns would show greater involvment in Bain Capital than previously reported by the candidate? Is it possible Romney paid NO taxes for a period of time? Is it possible the returns would show even more offshore investments than his 2010 returns? Whatever it is, all signs point to damning information, because clearly Mitt has made a decision to take the flak he's currently taking, because it's less than the firestorm that would be unleashed if he did release the taxes.

Mitt Romney...retroactively

Yesterday, July 15, the word "retroactively" suddenly began trending on Twitter. Why? Well, because Ed Gillespie, senior advisor to Mitt Romney 2012, tried to claim on CNN's State of the Union, that Mitt Romney ""retired retroactively to 1999" from Bain Capital. Bain, as you may know, is the company, founded in 1984 by Romney and others. Now it appears Romney WAS, in fact, CEO, main shareholder and president of Bain Capital from 1999-2001. How could he retire retroactively, you might ask? Beats me. Here are some funny tshirts to come out of this latest kerfluffle.

HIGGS BOSON -- The Higgs Boson on Tshirts

Who understands particle physics? Not many of us! But that doesn't mean we can't LOOK smart when we wear a t-shirt hailing the latest discovery in the world of quarks, dark matter, strings and E=mc2. In case you don't know, the Higgs boson, according to Wikipedia, is "is an elementary particle whose possible discovery was announced on July 4, 2012. It was predicted by a theory in physics called the Standard Model. It is one of the 16 fundamental particles as devised by the standard model.The others being the 6 Quarks 6 Leptons and 3 other Bosons and the last being the Higgs Boson." And to that, I say...um...okay. Not to mention, there are also some funny Higgs boson tshirts out there, some punny ones, because the Higgs boson has to do with matter, and is sometimes called the "God particle". So without further explanation or ado, here are some Higgs boson tshirts for all you physicists and wannabes out there!

This one is funny and a bit geeky:

Gifts for New Citizens

Every year, thousands of people earn their citizenship or are naturalized as US citizens. Generally, you need to be 18 years or older, and possess a legal green card. You must have lived in the US for five years (3 years if married to an American citizen). In addition, you must take a citizenship test and interview, mostly consisting of knowledge of US history and civics, and be able to explain in your own words the "Oath of Allegiance". You may be asked about this at your interview. You also must be able to demonstrate that you have basic proficiency in the English language.

Then you must fill out the proper form (N-400 "naturalization" form). Finally, you will be asked to take the Oath of Allegiance at a ceremony. Many of these ceremonies take place on the 4th of July (and if you don't know what that date signifies, you're not ready for your citizenship!!!!). We thought, with Independence Day around the corner, we'd look for t-shirts celebrating new citizenship. Wouldn't that be a great gift for someone who just passed their test and took their oath of citizenship? These ones are from Zazzle, and the t-shirts start at about $17:

Canada Day is July 1

Canadian Flag T shirts from $17 by FlagBaby
O Canada! Canada Day is coming! July 1 celebrates the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act of 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867, in Canada), which united three colonies into a single country (Canada!) within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day (in French it's known as Le Jour de la Confédération), the name was changed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed.
If you'll be in Canada on Canada Day, expect parades, carnivals, festivals, barbecues, air and maritime shows, fireworks, and free musical concerts, and citizenship ceremonies for new citizens. So get ready with a Canadian pride tshirt!
