Lots of good diaries on this over the past several days, and here, just for starters. Harry Reid accuses MR of not paying any income taxes for ten years or so. MR swore under pain and penalty of perjury that he was a MA resident and therefore eligible to run for Governor. He told reporters on multiple occasions that his tax returns would bear this out. He said that he wasn’t going to release them, though, that we’d just have to trust him on it. Sort of like now.
Since he actually was listing himself during that time as a Utah resident (despite his attempt to retroactively change his tax returns) to get big tax savings there, and that information came out, he kind of said, OK, you caught me there, but it doesn’t matter. Somehow he got away with it at the time and wound up on the ballot, and elected governor, where his job creating performance put MA 47th in the nation.
Mitt, I want my money back!
Please return all your governor’s salary. Please pay all the taxes to MA that you would have had to pay as a MA resident for at least the 7 years of MA residency required by our constitution.
And, though this is a stretch, please pay the penalty for perjury required by our laws for falsifying your records.
I hope this idea catches on. It would be a great way to hound him throughout the rest of the campaign.
I want my money back, you perjuror.
