Chris Christie: Harry Reid ‘part of the problem’
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie defended Mitt Romney’s decision not to release his full tax returns as the general election looms and ripped Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for attacking the GOP nominee on the issue.
“I think every candidate’s got to make the issue on the tax returns for themselves,” Christie told Nevada reporter Jon Ralston on Thursday, the day before Romney released his return for 2011. “You don’t think anybody in America’s gonna make their decision upon Mitt Romney’s tax returns — that’s just silly.”
Christie slammed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for allegations an anonymous Bain investor told the Nevada Democrat that Romney had not paid any taxes for 10 years.
“Of course, Harry Reid wants to talk about that,” the governor said. “Harry Reid has been part of the problem.” (Cervantes, Politico)
I agree Reid is part of the problem, but releasing tax returns have been going on a long time and i believe this was started by Mitt the Twits father.
#1 than Harry Reid and a bunch of other Washington DC A-Holes should produce their own
He is not running for president.
So Barack Obama has to release his birth certificate, but Romney can’t release his tax returns?
IRS data, shows that Romney’s effective income tax rate — that’s what he pays as a percentage of his income once deductions and other benefits are factored in — is actually far higher than what most Americans pay.
btw Romney did release his returns proving that Harry Reid is a piece of shit even by New Jersey standards
