“Are you
better off than you were 4 years ago” is a question that Mitt Romney has every
right to ask, and the Democrats are going to have to answer. That said, my problem
with Mr. Romney is not his query but his
approach, as he constantly uses the word
“you” in describing economic challenges, and he never, but never uses the word “we”.
And I can’t help but wonder if that is because he personally is much better off than he was 4 years ago. But the
American people can’t get that answer because unlike every presidential
candidate in recent memory, including his own father, McCain, Obama, Kerry,
Bush, Clinton et al, he has not released a representative number of his own tax
returns. It’s as if someone had regularly shouted down Vietnam War protesters
and then avoided the draft himself. Oh wait, Mitt Romney did that too. Really
Mr. Romney, your lack of candor is taxing our patience, because regarding
Republican presidential candidates we are certainly not more informed than we
were 4 years ago.
