Why Mitt Romney Should Show His Tax Records,NOW!!!

I am the stereotypical blogger in the fact that I only have three readers...except for the fact that I don't even have three readers.I have been called the lowest form of Christian:a theologian;the lowest form of comic- a punster;but the truth is:I am the lowest form of journalist-in fact not even a journalist at all:I am a blogger!

But this doesn't  hinder the fact that people still demand simple standards from me.
In my virtually empty comments section,one of the few comments thrown upon me is that my blog would be better served if I showed my sources...gave proof to the pudding.

Yet,the Republican candidate running for president,Mitt Rmoney,doesn't seem to be bothered by the suggestion that he show his recipe for success as  relevant to his campaign or to the citizens he wants to elect him into office!

HA!Lowly 'ol me,I have to show my work and sources,but Mitt Rmoney,Republican candidate for president of The united States Of America,doesn't have to show his tax returns,or post blazes so people he wants to vote him can follow his money trail.

I am not necessarily saying what is good for the goose is good for the gander.But neither am I comparing apples to oranges.My need to quote sources is negated by the fact that I have very few if any readers...and the fact that if anyone would ever read my blog,the could openly ask me about my sources or Google them for themselves.The fact that I am blogging basically to myself does not mean that I should not be as truthful as possible.If only one person reads this,then that one person should be able to-at the very least-see that this is my opinion and why.They can comment on any errors and/or leave their own opinions.

This is not possible in the case of Mitt Rmoney and his Tax returns.AND HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!

In my opinion,this is why this should matter.Mitt Rmoney is a devout Mormon.

How devout?That's where his tax returns come in.

Before I go any further,I have to ask:Am I being fair questioning Mitt Rmoney's faith?Does his faith have any reckoning on his running for commander in chief?Am I holding him to a higher standard not only to his opponent,but to all the other presidents throughout the history of U.S. presidential elections?

The first part of the question is easy.Though proven to be a Christian time and time again,president Obama is always being called with slanderous tongues a Muslim.The second is just as easy.JFK was constantly being asked whether his his Catholic faith would interfere with his presidential duties-what would he(JFK) do if there appeared a conflict of interest?

To his credit,John Fitzgerald Kennedy gave a great speech on this very subject.In It,he said,". I am the Democratic Party's candidate for president, who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me."

Is it too far of a reach for Mitt Rmoney to make the same pledge?

JFK also said this:"But if the time should ever come — and I do not concede any conflict to be even remotely possible — when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office; and I hope any conscientious public servant would do the same."

Would it be asking any candidate for president too much to make this claim?Would/could Mitt Rmoney?

Here is why I ask.I have not seen Mitt Rmoney's tax returns.

Why is this important?

Because Mitt Rmoney is a devout Mormon.Because Mitt Rmoney is a devout Latter Day Saint with a family history closely entwined with the leadership of the Mormon church.

By some accounts ,devout Mitt Romney has tithed almost a quarter of a BILLION  dollars to the LDS church!And without tax returns..who knows...while it could be way less...it could also be way more!

You maybe asking so what?Don't allot of Christians tithe 10%?Isn't what Mitt Rmoney gives to his church between him and his church?I answer yes,I agree.It is.

Except...

...Except this proves his loyalty and commitment to his faith.

Is he just as loyal to his country?Not releasing his tax returns;having Cayman Islands shell game type tax evasion practices makes it appear that he does not have the same devotion to America as he does to his Mormon roots!

This is just the opposite of what John F. Kennedy pledged.

This is why I am for the separation of church and state!

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.[Matthew 6:24]

By not showing his tax returns,Mitt Rmoney is being disingenuous.I find this personally troublesome.For instance:

According to Mitt Rmoney's own family history,when Utah became a state his family(prominent leaders in the LDS church)fled to Mexico to keep the polygamous practice of their faith alive at the insistence of their church.

In theory,this could lead to a conflict of interest for president Mitt Rmoney.If the leader and prophet of his church,Thomas S. Monson,told Mitt Rmoney that God told him that polygamy should again be legal in Utah,would Mitt Rmoney throw out his current belief that marriage is only between one man and one woman,or would he stand by it?

With or without  a Kennedy type pledge,only the release of of Mitt Rmoney's tax records would show where his true loyalties lie...something the citizens of The United States Of America should have every right to demand of the person they may or may not vote for for president.

Mitt Rmoney:Release your tax records:NOW!
