If you do not file taxes for ten years and a big thing
about your religion is tithing 10%, then the LDS has to take Mitt’s word how
much he makes and what he says is their 10% of what.
My personal gut reaction to Mitt’s supposed 240
million dollar fortune is like if he is so smart, why has his fortune just
leveled off since he left Bain ten years ago?
How many billions is Mitt really worth?
But the source coming
to Harry Reid for these revelations adds a level of intrigue. Reid just happens
to be the highest-ranking member of the Mormon Church in the history of this
nation.
It is likely that
Senator Reid’s source shares the Mormon religion with Reid and Romney.
That message will not
be lost on Romney. If the Bain fortress is not a fortress; if people are
talking, Romney knows that trouble lies ahead.
And the motivation for
this leak may not be political. It is likely personal and tied to the Mormon
Church.
Specifically, if
Romney was hiding money from the IRS he may have hidden money from his church.
It is expected that
members of the Mormon Church tithe a minimum of ten percent of their incomes.
But if Romney was not paying taxes and hiding money, then his disclosure –
which itemizes deductions, including to the church – would tip off his actual
income to the IRS.
Even more telling,
Senator Reid specifically says that Romney’s father, George, would be ashamed
of his son.
