Harry Reid - no apology about Romney unpaid tax claim...but doubles down to save face

By Correctamundo 

And here we are again with Harry Reid. Romney owns him on the tax issue. But Dirty Harry doubles down, with the help of the Obama machine, turning a blind eye to all that was revealed as I posted earlier.

(CNN) – Sen. Harry Reid said nothing of his earlier claims that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes over a ten-year span in a Friday statement joining Democrats in responding to Romney's release of tax-related documents on Friday.

The Nevada Democrat and Senate majority leader called Romney's accounting "galling" and said the documentation "reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he's seen fit to show the American people – and then only to 'conform' with his public statements."

It's galling to 1) Owe and pay both state/federal taxes for 20 years; 2) Give an average of 13.45% of their adjusted income to charity; 3) Not claiming the full amount of charitable donations which drove up their tax rate even higher? Is he for real?

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's campaign also released a statement on Friday saying the GOP candidate took advantage of "complex loopholes and tax shelters only available to those at the top."

That's code for 'Our accountants weren't smart enough to think of that so yours shouldn't be able to use them legally either'. And none can be named or pointed out as being illegal or questionable. And poor Mitt Romney 'at the top', all by himself. Those at the top earned what they have. And actually, Mr Obama, to many Americans who are on foodstamps and government assistance, YOU are at the top also, along with Beyonce, Jay-Z, Anna Wintour, Sarah Jessica, George Clooney, and a host of others - including top Democrats in Congress.

And then Harry drops his bombshell:

Reid referred to Romney's returns as completed by "accounting wizards" and charged in his Friday statement that the question remains, "what else in those returns has Romney manipulated?

The Washington Post even gave Reid 4 Pinocchios for his continual whining.

And let's look at some of the other headlines regarding the call now for Harry Reid to show us his stuff (taxes, that is) and how utterly asinine he is:

Nevada Republican to Harry Reid: Make our day, release your 2011 tax return

Mitt Romney To Harry Reid On Tax Dodge: 'Put Up Or Shut Up ...

Harry Reid's Wild Speculation About Mitt Romney's Unreleased Tax ...

Of course, Harry Reid's tax returns are an open book {snark} - Neo-Neocon

WHERE ARE NANCY PELOSI & HARRY REID'S TAX RECORDS ...

Let this be a lesson to you, children: The more libs whine and the more you give them what they want, they just continue to whine, hoping to hit upon a 'gotcha' nugget of information. And they do this all the while hiding their own taxes and dealings from the public.  The 'glass house' saying isn't strong enough here. It should be more clear-cut and in your face: Those who do not release their own taxes for public scrutiny have no say in anyone else's LEGAL tax dealings.  And I think we need to add another category for discrimination: Race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, AND SOCIAL STATUS.
