So Harry Reid says he has it from a good source that Mitt Romney paid no income taxes for something like ten years. I'm not sure if he's claiming it's exactly $0.00 or if he means Romney paid so little that given his income, it seems like zero. If it came out that Romney had paid $11.38, would that mean Reid was wrong?
And what kind of good source might this be that Reid trusts him as much as he does? If it were Romney's accountant, okay. I can see believing that guy. But it seems to be a Bain investor of some kind. How could that person know? Reid isn't claiming he himself has actually seen Romney's taxes. Something sounds wrong there.
What I'm waiting for is the statement from John McCain when he says, "When we were considering Mitt for my running mate, he supplied 23 years of tax forms to us for vetting. As far as I'm concerned, that information is privileged and so I cannot be specific but I can say Harry Reid is spreading erroneous information." Why isn't McCain saying that?
I dunno if Reid has solid information or not. But he sure seems to be going out on a limb based on data that he himself has not seen.
